- About Me:
- Soap Maven & Mixed Media Craft Artisan. I’m passionate about creativity. Much of my inspiration comes from nature which I often view through my amateur camera lens.
I’ve been a natural cold process soap maker for over 15 years, although I’ve practiced in various craft mediums my entire life. I also make “alcohol-free” liquid soaps. I began “rebatching” my cold process soap to add some fun and pizzazz . These soaps are referred to as hand milled soaps. My hand milled soaps have an old-fashion ice cream parlor theme which allows me to utilize my cake decorating skills.
I love hanging out in "creativity" online communities to learn and share with like-minded people.

Stop and Smell the Roses
Creativity comes from many sources. Sometimes nature can be a wellspring of inspiration.
Remember to stop and smell the roses…
Life has a way of taking on it’s on momentum. How many times have you said, "I’ll do this or that after this or when this happens..” Only the “this or that” never happens or something totally unexpected comes along seemingly out of nowhere and throws you for a loop. The next thing you know you’re in a tailspin trying to regain your balance and footing. And when the dus… Continue

Have you ever done any serious cloud gazing? What about mindless doodling on a Post-it™, napkin or other scrap of paper? I took a creative divergence and made this soap…just for fun. It began as a miniature cake and grew rather organically like a doodle…a soap doodle.
