Shampoo Bar Interview....who me??

The Soap Sister shampooing w/"Pooh Bar" Natural Shampoo Bar
from Heirloom Soapworks

The warm and friendly soapmaker over at Joyful Soaps, Leslie, recently asked me, along with Amy Warden of Great Cakes Soapworks to participate in a
Q & A regarding shampoo bars. 

As you may know, Amy began testing and documenting her shampoo bar experience a while back, and I jumped onto her bandwagon -sampling and documenting my own experiences.

I certainly don't consider myself a shampoo bar making expert by any means, but I am completely  hooked on them and convinced of their merit -I suppose that counts for something! :) 

Here  is a link to the first of Leslie's two-part blog series on shampoo bars:

Soap "Art" from Great Cakes Soapworks

O.K. by now you all know I love pretty, artistic & unique soaps.  I try to make mine that way, but every once in a while you have brush with true artistry -something that's so cool it must be seen!

 Here's such a soap: "Almost Paradise" from Amy Warden at Great Cakes Soapworks!  Is it cool, or what?

Here's a link to her site - the story of how she made this beauty is worth the read.  A lot of effort went into this batch, and I'm so happy that it turned out so well!

Check out her other lovely creations while you're there.  She has an informative site that will be of interest to anyone who loves handmade soap.

My husband and son are equally impressed with this bar.   They both commented "That is REALLY cool!"   Which, of course, it is!  Great job Amy!
