Ghouls, ghosts, goblins, and pumpkins galore! We can’t wait!

This time of year is really one of the best for soap makers to flex their creative muscle and get into some fun little side projects for kids (and the young at heart). We’re especially fond of the pumpkin scents and abundance of candy-related soaps that happen during the fall season.

We have gathered some of our favorite Halloween Soap Making photos from Flickr.com, and are very excited to present to you our fine collection of Halloween Soaps from amazingly talented Soap Makers from all over the world!

All of the prep work that goes into huge Thanksgiving meals and amazing Christmas mornings happens right now. Families are coordinating, plans are forming, children are refining their wish lists, and the soap makers are churning out fresh handmade Fall Soaps!

We know a lot of work goes into soap, but I’ve noticed that this time of year seems to be the most hectic for many of our Soap Making customers. All of the custom orders just beginning to trickle in, and the many questions about “can you make this scent”, and “my friend has this kind of skin, what should she use?” In the end, we know it all wraps neatly into one pumpkin-spice scented blur as Christmas soon dominates our schedules.

We’ve been looking to soap makers to find out what ingredients they are finding most needed during the fall months… and that is our question of the week!

What Soap Making Ingredients do you find essential over the fall months? (as far as Carrier Oils, Scents, and Molds?)

This gorgeous soap is made by Suds N Such

Perhaps to do that, you have to be the kind of person who isn’t afraid to “trial and error” your way through a few botched batches of “creative” soaps you’re trying to make. I think the end result is always worth it though.

Even if you don’t achieve your desired creation, you probably learned something valuable in the process, right?  That being said, I’m sure the most talented soapers and soap makers have made some pretty big sacrifices when it comes to space in their homes, and time spent on learning the trade. These people are dedicated, committed to consistently providing great soaps for their clients, friends and family…and they are are generally generous with their advice and ideas within the soap making communities online and offline. It is because of this that…

We Want to Feature YOU and YOUR SOAP right here!

One of the purposes of this blog is to bring the spotlight onto well-deserving soap makers, and feature some of their creations on our site. As a sparkling new soaper myself, seeing other people’s awesome ideas inspires me to keep learning, even if the learning curve is a bit long.

There are so many who are long-time professionals of the wonderful art of soap making, and yet they have little to no recognition and no special awards to add to their soaping resumes… except for maybe a few ‘those are nice’ comments from among their local friends and family. We want to give gorgeous soaps and their talented artists a nice spot up on this blog, and we’re aiming to do this at least once a week.

If you are a talented soap maker, or happen to know one who is feature-worthy, feel free to contact me to nominate them!
