Soapmaking is the perfect union of chemistry and craft. And making soap at home allows soapmakers of all levels to transform the functional into the fantastic. In Soap Crafting, The Soap Queen (a.k.a. Anne-Marie Faiola) shows how to make beautiful handmade soap through full-colour step-by-step visual instructions and 31 recipes that make it easy to navigate the process. New techniques and effects will keep experienced soapmakers creating ever more distinctive soaps, while beginners will have no problem making their first soap successfully. Cold-process soapmaking can be intimidating, but The Soap Queen makes it safe and accessible while inviting creative crafters to explore the full range of special effects that can be achieved in a bar of soap. With chapters on using colours, like neon, oxides and mica; molds, including milk jugs, yogurt containers and pipes; additives such as coffee, oatmeal and clay; and techniques for building, like embedding, funnel pour and swirling, this is the one-stop resource for soapmakers of any skill.
