Book Reviews
Review by Vivian: Marie Browning previously wrote a book, which
primarily had rebatching recipes. This one also has some of those
techniques. The melt and pour material was quite interesting. It
covers many of the ideas found on the soap lists: Soap on a rope,
making your own molds for "pebble soaps", petal soaps, which
might be like the soap leaves idea, loaf soaps, luffa soaps, embossing
soaps using rubber stamps, making "plaid" soaps, rock/gem/
crystal soaps. There is a nice section on various bath salts,
also a popular item on the soap list, and solid bath fizzies.
One of the features that brought me to buy the book was Browning's
packaging and combinations of the various items in the book. There is
a bubble bath in a heart bottle. What makes this special is the wire
bubble wand with glass beads. Neato idea! She also groups items into
them collections like oriental, honeybee, elements, spa
collections. Browning gives some specific directions in this
book. The true value, however, is the sparking of ideas that form in
the reader's mind after seeing these presentations. Read this book and are interested in reviewing it? Send an email to Laura. |
