I am a newbie at the craft of soap making, and I don't think I could've gotten any easier instructions than this. I read the entire book and instead of starting at the very beginning with the simple recipe, I skipped ahead and chose to make one with the list of suggested ingredients near the back. I also decided to use one of my chocolate bar molds and I'm really tickled with the results.At the risk of alienating anyone with my horrible photography skills (I used my cell, which is on its last legs) I'm uploading a picture so you can take a look at the final result. It's not perfect, but they actually suds up. And though it's hard to tell, the mold is a dove in flight, so that's the lumpy top part. I think if I would have used the coloring instead of keeping it natural, the dove would be more distinct. Nonetheless, I love them! I used oatmeal for natural buffing and tea tree oil for my scent.I wanted to upload my picture so you could see that even a novice can use this recipe successfully. I imagine I'll get better over time and in turn my soap will get prettier, at least I hope I improve. I never knew how awesome (and simple) the process was. I'm glad I tried it and would recommend to anyone who's still undecided!
