My daughter decided she wanted to make a soap for the homeless shelter she works at once a month. I let her do it, I measured and poured the lye but she did all the rest. She scented it with a very sweet scent, Hoiday Candy. I am very proud of her.
Well I made more soap this week. First up is a Juniper Sage bar, just the thing for after the gym . And the white bars are a shaving bar made with kaolin sugar, silk and shea. It is delightful. It is scented with the Lavendar Cedar as requested by a friend. Spencer made a bar tonight for the homeless shelter that should be able to be cut in the morning. It is a very very nice bar with better lather than my bars but a bit more drying than my bar but that's ok. The shelter folks will love it. Heck , I love it. I am so proud of her for thinking of this all on her own.
Welcome to my Blog, Weird Shit in Jars: Creation and Alchemy in Glass. Here you will find an assortment of ideas, experiments and transformations all taking place in the humble glass jar. I am an herbalist, former chef, soap maker, mother and general creatrix. I am curious, flexible, practical and pragmatic. I am NOT mystical, or a guru, I'm a city gal trying to grow where I'm planted and embrace the gifts of the planet in all of their forms.
In this blog you will get to see my journey and process through life in all it's glorious, messy and surprising Beauty. Sucesses and failures alike will be here because I love to create things and how best to learn than to make mistakes! This blog gets it's name from a friend whom upon viewing my alchemical endeavors said, " You sure have some weird shit in jars here." That I do, my friend, that I do.
