This lovely soap was made by Playing With Soap in New York. Her blog has good photos of cold process soapmaking. The creativity in the coconut cream pie soap above is impressive considering the degree of difficulty with the project.
The Soap Queen (aka Anne-Marie Faiola) blog talks about soap, toiletries and all manner of recipes and experiments around making your own goodies. I also muse about being self-employed, women in business, good design, cheese and decadent sweets. It's a bit of a potluck - enjoy!
