New Goodies for my Soap!

Thanks to my friend, my mom and my brother's help, my soap goodies finally arrived here safely all the way from Taiwan. My friend also kindly gave me her old bevel tool, a new silicon soap mold, soap wrap, and 4 bricks of fresh bees wax from the bee farm.


I've always wanted to try making soap in the silicon mold, but it's hard to find the shape I want here in US, also it's very very expensive. Not only it's easy to remove the soap from the silicon mold, it will ensure the soap comes out smooth on all side where as before, my soap comes out wrinkly because of the additional wax paper I had to put inside my wooden mold. Here's what the soap look like now after taking out from the mold.


After cutting my soap, I started putting new stamps on my soap, it was so much fun, I can even combine two stamp designs into one.

Thanks to my friend's bevel tool, my soap look so much better now, so no more sharp edges on the soap now.
