Chrissy, you can shape soapballs when you unmold the soap and its still

soft. Then let them cure.

Sounds like a really fun venture! Good luck

Subject: making soap on a rope ??? camping ideas

What is the best way to make soap on a rope. do I attempt to make balls

while it is tracing or wait until it is curing? I had done it before but

with rebatched soap. Is rebatched the best way to go about going it, i

wonder???

My brother in law is opening up a camping, hunting fishing store with a

friend in a few months. They really liked my anise fisherman's soap and was

wondering what other idea to do. I am working on some jewelweed soap right

now as well as a shampoo bar. Some ideas were also tooth paste/powder and

maybe a dry shampoo and a jewelweed/anti itch bug cream.

It is kind of exciting as I get to do fun stuff that I wanted to do but

did't really have customers for. I have made alot of the suff in the past

but without a real need it sat around. I can go for a differant look too.

Now everything is fancy and victorian and I get to go rustic.

[Guest guest]

ok so Probably the next day then depending on the recipe and the time of day I

make it. just slice it then round it into balls with the rope inside. Hmm too

bad I wasn't able to do it earlier in the summer when my neices and nephew were

around more. They could have had fun, with that. I have plenty of gloves.

There are molds for it I've seen. I wonder if you could cut it soft and drill a

hole in it? I'm thinking something flatter would feel better to shower with..

I'm wondering where you come up with the jewelweed??? Can you share your

source? I'd like to get my fingers on some up here...

Kim you can find jewelweed growing in a lot of places such as woods and near

creeks. I dont know if you have trails near you that you can take walks on

and collect the jewelweed.

Yea, I am assuming you probably unmold when the soap is set up and done

heating up and cooling off. Usually the next day. I realize not eveone

makes soap the same I guess but thats when I am use to unmolding. The soap

is soft enough you could cut into a bar like normal then smoosh it into a

ball or an oval or whatever shape you want and could push a " rope " in it.

Oh yea the kids could have a lot of fun with that!

you can or you can use it fresh. I think fresh but wilted if you infuse it

with oil (right Cheryl?) or you can use the dried herb in soap. There are

other ways I beleive too. Maybe someone else will chime in too.

Kim/Shaye,

I'm going this morning to get Jewelweed, am going to dry it, need some here for

the likes of things. I will however have some that... cough, cough, will up for

grabs. I didn't get a chance to get any dried before the gathering, but with

this long weekend I'm getting alot done around here.

Just send me a email about the jewelweed, and I prefer to dry it before usage.

FYI.. when picking jewelweed you need to be careful of poison oak/ivy growing

along side of it.

Kim, I collect a lot of Jewelweed and infuse it in oil. Not that I'm not

perfectly willing to sell it, lol, but I'd be willing to bet that you could

find it in your area.

Here's a link with a decent photo just in case you don't know what it looks

like:

http://www.docmisty.com/health/poison-ivy-alcohol-water-soap-and-maybe-a-little-\

jewelweed/

It likes moist areas with dappled shade, such as at the edge or clearing of

the woods.

Cheryl. I'd be up for some. I was reading about it last night and it said

something about using the 'sap' that is inside it on the irritation... But you

would just add the dry into the soap? Might not be a bad thing to add some

oatmeal to the soap to... ????

What do you think?

I've got some in the dryer drying don't know just how much you are needing. I

usually infuse in warm oil and leave it for a few weeks then drain, and squeeze

off any more oil from the leaves, then your oil should be a nice green color.

For lotions.. do a tea, infuse it and add to your lotions/creams, the infused

water is to be calculated to your required amount of water needed for your

lotion recipe.

Well I live along Lake ontario by the marshy swamp area. lot's of ponds, Long

pond, buck pond, cranberry pond, round pond...< so they grow along the water

edge and occassionally even up in the yard in our gardens lol lol so I don't

have to go too far. I just look for the orange flowers amungst the cattails. You

need it really wet.

Odd thing I just learned, you can eat the seeds and they taste like walnuts. I

never knew that.

I'm going to have to have my brother show me what it looks like. He knows

better than I do. I live along Lake Ontario too... I'll ask him a little later

today... Stay tuned.

Subject: Re: making soap on a rope ??? camping ideas

Well I live along Lake ontario by the marshy swamp area. lot's of ponds, Long

pond, buck pond, cranberry pond, round pond...< so they grow along the water

edge and occassionally even up in the yard in our gardens lol lol so I don't

have to go too far. I just look for the orange flowers amungst the cattails. You

need it really wet.

Odd thing I just learned, you can eat the seeds and they taste like walnuts. I

never knew that.

you could just pour the soap into molds about half way then push the rope into

the soap after it sets a few seconds then finish filling it up, i seen this done

on a website http://candleandsoap.about.com/od/tipstricks/ss/soaponarope.htm i'm

sure this process can be done for any type of soap making.. or at least the one

they do starting on page 8 can be.

I've done it. I have the same molds that's shown in that tutorial but if you

don't, there is another way I've done it. I use a loaf mold, mark one inch

increments on the top edges, pour all the soap in the mold and then place the

rope in the center of the inch increments and halfway from the bottom of the

molded soap. You can use a kebob skewer to guide the rope down into the soap.

You will also need to place another skewer or something down the length of the

mold to keep the rope tops from sliding back down into the soap. Before you

unmold the soap make score marks where the inch increments are and cut at those

score lines. If you see any portion of the rope once you cut it, you can always

shape it into a large soap ball soap on a rope. As a matter of fact I like the

soap ball look better. Hope this helps and not too confusing.

nope I understand. thank you. that does sound like it is perhaps the quickest

way to get several done at a time. it also sounds a little less messy too. lol
