Homemade Valentine Soap

Homemade Valentine Soap - paprika created the pink soap
I posted a homemade soap recipe Saturday. It's supposed to sit in it's box for 24-48 hours, before cutting into shapes and cured for 2 weeks, at the least. I was thinking "Valentines" so cut heart shapes. The leftover scraps I roll in balls. Since the soap is uncured, it's still caustic, so I dump it out on a vinyl table cloth and use rubber gloves. I've let them cure on my baking cooling racks, or brown paper before - this time they're on some old wicker placemats.

 A lot of these will be felted over in two weeks. I'll be posting pics on my Overflow blog ... so keep tuned.
