Guest OldGlory Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Confession - I was TERRIFIED of making soap with lye and put it off for 10 years. I bought every book I found on the subject, and still have them. When things are slow I like to look at my soaping books. I agree with Candybee - they're a great source of inspiration.

7 Pawz Posted August 8, 2014 Author Share Posted August 8, 2014 Your books remind me of a couple of old candlemaking books I have. Some of the candle wax melting and wicking techniques discussed in the book are ancient history. But the sections with candle designs has some beautiful and artistic pictures and technique discussions in it that can be used today. So I still hang on to them hoping one day I will have the time to try some out-- or just to look at the pictures!Thats what I do with some of them, and I have tried some of the ideas and I like them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
