這是用金盞花和山金車的浸泡油做成的皂，中間灑的是磨碎的金盞花粉。金盞花真是做皂者的好材料，優雅浪漫的感覺，加上不會被鹼破壞的顏色，真是我的最愛啊！

天氣越來越冷了，真是做奶皂的季節。四倍母奶溫潤滑溜的洗感真的很特別，中間淡淡灑了一層蒲公英粉，似乎道出期待春天的心情。

記憶中好像有長像這樣的點心，想吃也吃不到，乾脆做成皂。

綠色的部分是用浸泡多時的烏龍茶葉浸泡油。因為顏色會慢慢淡掉，我總是小心地不讓這皂見天日，希望能顏色能持久一些。這，該是堅持天然染色的宿命吧！

看著紫草浸泡油的顏色已經越來越濃了，似乎在催促著我把它化身為美麗的紫草皂呢！紫草是我必備的No.1浸泡油，我愛極了它美麗的顏色。而且，每每做紫草皂時，總要配上薰衣草精油，總覺得這樣才速配！50%浸泡油的顏色最剛好。我以前試過72%的紫草浸泡馬賽皂，顏色過深，看起來很是憂鬱。

最近很愛茜草粉。對於只用天然染色的我來說，最高興的就是能找到入皂不變色的花草，又同時能對皮膚有幫助。我試過用茜草粉的浸泡油，效果不好，還是直接加粉入皂比較好。

茜草對多種細菌及皮膚真菌有抑制作用，能消瘀滯、通血脈、利關節；治跌打損傷及風濕痺痛。

繁縷是一種對皮膚很好的藥草，對於過敏肌膚和搔癢症狀都有幫助。一般用繁縷粉入皂的話，皂就會呈現棕色。我把繁縷粉加到橄欖油裡做浸泡油後再入皂，居然是黃綠色的！這新發現讓我蠻高興的，又多一樣可以入皂的素材。

這皂跟上一款很像，有一點重做的意味，原因是我想要白白的背景，所以這回捨米糠油，改換澳洲堅果油（Macadamia Nut Oil）。我個人很喜歡澳洲堅果油，顏色很淡，也沒什麼強烈的味道，所以要染色比較能掌握。而且本身這油質地清爽，洗後滋潤柔和，是我常備的好油。

第一次代製母奶皂真是超興奮的！一位在灣區的媽媽願意把她珍貴的母奶交給安妮來製作母奶皂，心裡真是很感謝！其實做皂的過程是充滿了享受，看著皂液在低溫的狀態下慢慢進入trace，最後凝結成觸感溫柔的母奶皂，實在很有成就感。在攪皂的過程中心裡也慢慢沉澱，似乎這母奶皂有著迷人的魔力，讓人心靜下來。

最近有些朋友要請我教他們做皂的方法，小妹我真是誠惶誠恐，一方面覺得自己還沒有當老師的資格，再來家裡小朋友的事也很忙，很難抽出時間。想說來把做皂的過程多紀錄一點，或許有興趣的朋友可以自己來試看看。今天就先來介紹一下安妮的製皂工具。

這是第一次用平口的奶油花嘴來裝飾肥皂，雖說是花嘴，但還沒有勇氣挑戰奶油花，只有簡單的線條，算是安妮做皂的一小進步啦。不過擠一擠還蠻有趣的，下次真的要來擠個花試試。

收集了幾種顏色的皂球，配合清爽的米糠油，是很適合夏天的皂喔。皂有一點黃黃的，是因為加了洋甘菊浸泡橄欖油，有鎮定肌膚及抗過敏的作用。

想試試看不對稱的皂型，所以就用紙板擋住一部分的皂模，做了紅棕皂，然後隔天再移開紙板，做另外一層。沒想到紙板還是有點外流，所以還先清了一下才做第二層。真不知為什麼把自己弄得這麼麻煩。
紅花橘色暈開的樣子，意外跟紅棕顏色很合，真好！

I blocked a portion of soap mold to make red palm oil soap first. Unfortunately, it leaked so took time to clean a little before the second layer. The color of safflower is quite match with red plam oil, that makes me very happy.

上次的肥皂有用到備長碳的皂，就把多的皂揉成皂球，做成這黑白皂。放在上面的皂球想像它是貓熊的耳朵，只是白色的皂液太稀了，耳朵下陷的太多了...不過自己還是覺得很可愛啦！

喜歡備長碳的洗淨力，但又不喜歡整塊黑黑的，一點點，剛剛好。
中間的部份是用金盞花和洋甘菊的浸泡油做的。加一點剪碎的金盞花，這樣的感覺讓我回想到當初對手工皂的印象，似乎要有一些花草在皂裡才叫手工皂呢。

自從上次做了橘色方格後，發現方塊皂沒有想像中的困難，就再試一次。對角的三層皂是跟上一款一起做的，對半切開後再填充燕麥皂。燕麥有打碎過，這樣去角質的觸感比較好。

聖約翰草是極富盛名的草藥，是天然的抗抑鬱草藥，而且還有改善血液循環，以及抗發炎的功效。希望洗這皂時心情也會變好！這皂除了用聖約翰草的浸泡油之外，也加了聖約翰草的粉末，效果加倍喔！最上層是用烏龍茶葉浸泡油做的，泡了很久，有很清新的茶香。

以手工皂為我的畫布，讓梵谷的星空也可以成為一塊天然洗淨肌膚的滋潤好肥皂。浸泡多時的紫草浸泡橄欖油讓夜空成為漂亮的藍紫色；有機的紅棕櫚油作成的皂球，鑲在絲絨般的藍色天幕上散發溫暖的光芒；還有不同顏色的小碎皂，是夜空中閃亮的小星星。

想做這皂很久了，拖了好久，一方面也也是因為前置作業很多，這回完成了，算是了了一件心事。找到娜娜版的Starry starry night，還蠻好聽的，請欣賞。
