Comments on: Wool Wrapped Soap http://blog.thesage.com/2009/06/18/wool-wrapped-soap/ Thoughts and ideas from the world of Majestic Mountain Sage.

I must admit, I use the old plastic soap container for travel (the kind that just flip open and closed for soap). I am sure I used one of those when we used to camp a lot. I know it doesn't allow the soap to breathe properly, but I am careful to open it when I get to my destination and leave it open throughout my trip so it doesn't get slimy. I will try to get as much air on my soap after I use it by leaning it up on the side of the container and it seems to work (and draining off any extra water that gets in the container too). I am also careful to open the container when I get home so the soap dries out before I stash it away for the next trip. It might not be the best solution, but it seems to work for me. Also, a question on the side....I am still saving my botched batch of soap in a bag...Andee mentioned an upcoming post on how to "save" it. I am very excited to learn how to do that.

I don't make soap, and I usually use liquid bath stuff, but this idea totally makes me want to make soap. I do make candles, so soap is going to be an eventuality that I'll try sooner or later. A couple other things. I didn't want my comment to get lost in the older post. The star soaps and the embed soap that you asked if it was a mistake or not . . . I thought they were both beautiful. I've had issues like that with my candles too where I feel like it was messed up, but my hubby doesn't think so. He's so nice. But he's a salesman and he always tells me that I already made it, so go ahead and put it out for sale and let the customer decide if it's a mess up or art. I would just say don't automatically call them mistakes and throw them in the discount bin. Instead fix up a shelf for one of a kind artistic soaps. But whatever happened to those star soaps, I think you should make them like that on purpose. Also, I have a blog with info on saving money, and turning crafts and hobbies into a small business. Between my knowledge and experience, and the salesman info I get from my hubby, I try to put a lot into it to help out others trying to get started.
