Think I may call this soap “Bushwalk” - cold process soapmaking is such a humbling experience - it’s a craft with such complexity and unpredictability.
Don’t take up the craft if you’re looking for certain results or reliability!
Life lessons from soap - making : life is about the journey NOT the destination.
If you’re the type of person who’s drawn to art and craft you must embrace this philosophy wholeheartedly or else you will start comparing yourself to others who have taken more straightforward paths.
Artists have different goalposts (or none at all). It’s messy and frustrating but it destroys your ego.
It’s the divine path that few have the courage to take. It’s a path which creates new possibilities, destroys old patterns and reshapes the world.
