Big Sky Soap

For quite some time I have looked at the sky and wanted to make a soap that would emulate Montana’s beautiful big sky.  We have our cloudy days, rainy days, and snowy days, but I wanted to make a soap that highlighted a big blue sky with just a few wisps of clouds.   


Looking east towards Plevna, Montana

Achieving the proper sky/cloud swirl balance was a challenge. The color ratios are somewhat tricky and timing is of the essence when pouring into the mold.  Each soap batch has a learning curve no matter how many times it is made!

Whatever the weather, when you use
