As a crafter and a small businessperson, you can do your own craft marketing or pay someone to do it for you. It’s a balancing act. If you do it yourself, you must go to shows or run your own store or website. The more time you spend doing that the less time you can spend crafting.

How To Make Goat’s Milk Soap Using The Melt and Pour Method By Jennifer Christine

Interested in making goat’s milk soap using the melt and pour method? Well, you can buy goat’s milk melt and pour soap bases to make your own goat milk hand made soap. The advantage of making and using your own soap is you know exactly what’s in it. Goat’s milk is considered to be a soothing and moisturizing soap making ingredient. First, decide on a recipe using a goat’s milk melt and pour base. What kind of molds are you going to use? Do you want to make shaped soap, like seashells or flowers, or plain bars of soap? Once you’ve decided on the recipe and molds, find a goat’s milk melt and pour soap base. It should be easy to find a soap supply site selling this on Google. Just type in goat’s milk melt and pour soap base. Once you’ve found your goat’s milk melt and pour soap base (check the ingredients it contains first) you can start looking for soap fragrances and colors, if you need any. The site where you found the goat’s milk melt and pour soap base may sell them. Once you’ve decided on your ingredients and have the necessary equipment (including safety equipment) ready, it’s time to start making your goat’s milk soap. Of course, it’s really important to follow your soap making recipe so you know exactly when to add each ingredient but basically to make melt and pour soap you melt the soap in a suitable double boiler or microwave safe bowl or jug, then add the soap coloring and fragrance and pour it into molds and leave it to set. Once it’s set you can unmold it. Unmold your soap by gently popping it out of the mold. If it sticks, try running some water over the base of the mold and then attempt to pop it out of the mold again. Once it’s unmolded you can use it right away! Once you’ve made your first bar of goat's milk soap, you may never want to use non-goat’s milk soap again. When I make goat’s milk soap for my friends and family, they can’t stop raving about it! So why not get started on making your own goat’s milk soap today?

Services offered

I offer services in restorations of solid pieces. I don't work on paintings or prints. Statues, figurines, objects made of wood or plaster, are my expertise.China,pottery,resin objects.

To discuss restoration projects, you may get hold of me through my email.

My original thought was to bring together, more than one subject line into this portal. I've since decided it wasn't a good idea so if you're interested in the Christian site, its at http://calvary-corner.com/

I'll soon build another site strictly for family and child raising.  Now, this site is strictly for crafting and craft business. I think that should work out much better.

I'm delaying the actual date when I'll open the cyber doors to this site. I know that especially the crafters in business, will want the chance to become part of the foundation of this project, by getting their information in.

If you have a friend who is struggling, help them out by getting pics you can send in to me, along with contact information and descriptions. I'll help out.

I am a U.S. citizen, and know what it is to compete 'one on one' with China. We look pretty small, in comparison. I have my rants about that subject but I'll save it for an article.  Our only battle tools are to fight to remind our fellow citizens who they are supporting and to buy U.S.

That's what I'm all about. We still live and breathe and our products are not tomorrow's throw aways. We produce quality that lasts lifetimes and more. My battle front is presenting U.S. hand made to the U.S.

If you are a U.S. citizen, and happen to be an avid crafter and just happen to want to make a living by your own hands, come on in, grab a virtual chair and become a part of this community. The launch date is being held back until we have something viable enough to grab and keep our audience.

Every community promoting U.S., is another avenue for growth.

This site is being offered for free. I see no reason not to take advantage of it. I too, am a crafter. I, along with millions of others, have lost in business to the overwhelming competition and outright copyright infringements of China. I will fight for all of us.

 

I'm trying out 2 different image hosting modules. One is the gallery 2 and the other is a small program called Imagehost. You'll see both the links on the left.

Both seem to be working just fine so I'll leave it up to you which one you will use. When you build an album, be sure to copy that link in the page header, to use in your profile, etc.
