I start with Natural fibers, which I have dyed or painted, if I feel inspired then I will weave or knit a project. Most often weaving on my floor loom. Every strand is carefully threaded into the loom one at a time. Then I sit in front of my loom on a bench and wind a bobbin and shuttle full of my weft yarns, then start lifting threads and pushing others down with a motion of the foot peddles, called treadles.
These Soaps are luxurious healing medicine. I start with excellent soap bases of Goats Milk, African Black, and Shea. I personally mix each batch with healing intention from the grinding of the herbs to the final pour.
