Soap: Black Amber Silk

Video: Coming soon

Saint Florian is the patron saint of soapmakers, chimney sweeps, and other professions who deal in fire and water.

It was only fitting that I begin my year-long weekly soapmaking journey on his feast day, May 4.

However, I’m also a busy mom. I missed the actual fest day. 😅

It’s May 6th and I filmed myself making soap today.

Red and blue colors swirled in the pot of my hot processed soap batter. It turned purple-ish in certain spots and looked like the evening sky.

I felt so free.

I felt the grace of God wash over me.

Here I was in my element.

Humbley making bougey soap.

Freedom through soapmaking. Who knew?
