This is my baby.....my Lake Superior Soap π I had a dream about this soap around 9 years ago. I got up, grabbed some paper and drew out what I dreamed. Then started looking for someone to make the molds. After a few weeks I finally found a business in Taiwan who said they could do it. Three months later I had the molds. It was quite a learning curve to make them and it's quite fiddly to say the least, but I love them. I have to use a little tool for the islands and the brown part, and pour the blue/green lake part at an exact temperature. Too cool it doesn't stick, too hot it melts the brown and you get a mess. I've made a few thousand over the years and like to show pictures of my process every once in a while. Definitely not something that can be mass produced....ever π..... Seeing the light shine through them always brightens my day. I have them in several of my windows. The lake color is from mica minerals that I had specially made to order to look like Lake Superior and the brown to look like dirt/mud π I bought enough mica minerals when I got them to last as long as I make the soaps. They are made with a detergent free honey soap and are super special to me. These beauties will be in our farm store tomorrow π
