The elegant, luxurious soaps found in boutiques are easy to make right at home-even for newcomers to the craft-with this accessible, illustrated question-and-answer guide that presents all the basic techniques. What can I use as a mold for my soap? What tools and supplies do I need? What do I use to add color to my soap-and scent? How do I embed decorative objects? From the cold-processing method to melt-and-pour, from prettily shaped bars to bubbling bath oil, from soap-on a roap to skin-codding bars with oatmeal and aloe vera, every technique and project has instant appeal.
