a new way to make some logs






i was not aware that the expression 'making logs' was a slang for taking a dump. my older boy made me aware of this a few years back.

well so i was busy making logs yesterday, some of my cold process soap has been curing for a matter of WEEKS (not easy for an impatient type who wants to see results asap).

you can also access akai silks by typing in www.silkandsun.com
Silk and sun is easier to spell and people dont cock their heads and say a-kay? i-k?

i thought you might like to see what a soap log looks like. this is Morrockin Vanilla, made expressly for bellydancers (well ..admittedly given a bellydance related name so I can use my PAID advertising on bhuz to promote it).

Zack was my helper , he turned away in shock at the smell of lemon but really dug the chocolate.

The photo taking is not something i'm used to, normally i do flying objects and fluttering silk so i'm getting to know the macro function on my new badass camera (oh wait it's Twu's camera..errr) . It's sort of like taking pics for dollhouse miniatures, you have to think like an elf and take pics of big towering slabs of silky soap.

soap. i'm hooked. i have small slivers of all flavors at every sink around the house. i have a bag that holds shavings. my hands feel soft and don't have that filmy tightness from using commericial crap. i look forward to washing my hands and smelling a burst of fragrance from something that is handmade.

i do melt and pour too. you'll find most of those with the molded shapes.
