                                                               Featured Artist: 
                                                                   NaYeon Kim

This month we introduce to you NaYeon Kim, a very talented, & artistic Soap Artist... It is a real treat to see her creations... We love having her as a member in our Super Soapers Group, always looking forward to seeing her next creation... It makes it very exciting to have her as our "Featured Artist" this December... And, being that this is December, & Christmas is right around the corner, this is our monthly gift to you...

Super Soapers: Tell us a little about yourself.

NaYeon Kim: My name is NaYeon as you already can see. I’m originally from South Korea and moved here to America about 3 years ago. I live with my wonderful husband and 2 lovely cats. Even though I sometimes miss my country and family, I really enjoy living in Washington state.

 SS: How did you get started in soapmaking?

NK: I had always been interested in homemade soaps but didn’t start actually creating my own until 2010. I had come across some YouTube soap making videos one day on the internet and decided to give it a try. I watched many videos from variety soapmakers and bought some books to get me started. The first batch I made was a plain cold process soap without any colorant and scent. I was very excited with my first creation even though they were just plain bars.

 

SS: Do you CP or MP, & why?

NK: I do both CP and MP, simply because, I love to do them both.  They have their own unique characteristics that allow me to do many different things.

SS: What inspires you most?

NK: I can’t pick just one or two. Whenever I see something cool and unique, I try to recreate it in my own way.

 

SS: Do you consider yourself an artist?

NK: I definitely consider myself an artist when it comes to soap creation.  I try very hard to challenge myself with new designs, and techniques.  I do take a lot of inspiration from other art work and even enjoy finding ways to recreate them into my soap.

 

SS: How has soapmaking changed your life?

NK: The community that has been introduced to me, through my soap hobby, has been amazing.  I have made many friends through online social networks, where we share our creations and stories.

 

SS: How would you describe your creative process?

NK: Well, in many cases, I really try to create complex soap designs, once just for the challenge, and may not do more of that particular design. After that I move on to my next inspiration, and find the real fun lies in figuring out the technique for each unique soap creation. But saying this, I really love rustic or plain looking soaps.

 

SS: What do you benefit the most from other artists in your craft?

NK: I love to see other crafter’s creations and finding new, & evermore challenging designs, techniques and information to learn, like piping flowers, or blending solutions to create that interesting and eye popping look. I also watch many soapper’s YouTube channels where I can follow their stories and learn more about the craft, from other experienced crafters, which helps me to continue to become more knowledgeable in the process. 






Merry Christmas, Happy Chanukah, Happy Kwanzaa, & Happy Holidays, to ALL of our Followers.... -From the Super Soapers Group...

Super Soapers November "Featured Artist"!!

 

 Featured Artist:

Suzanne Alexander

 

 

This Month's "Featured Artist", Suzanne Alexander, comes to us from Ohio. She shares with us the moves around the country that her husband's work has taken her, her career, & her passion & creativity for MP soap making.



Super Soapers: Tell us a little about yourself.

Suzanne Alexander:

Along with crafting soaps and more under the name of Suzy's Soaps, Etc., I also am a third grade outreach teacher for the Huntington Museum of Art in West Virginia, across the Ohio River from me in South Point, Ohio. Over the years, I have been an elementary school teacher and librarian as well as a freelance writer. For eight years, I wrote a weekly book column for the “Kokomo Tribune” in Kokomo, Indiana. Due to my husband's job, I have lived in five states since we were married 38 years ago and have had a variety of positions in the education field. Now I am pursuing my creative side with my work for the museum, some freelance writing and photography as well as my soap making.

SS: How did you get started in soapmaking?

SA: I always have loved creating with my hands, from cooking to crafting to gardening. Over the past few years, I began to see some beautiful and unique soap molds in craft stores and thought that I would like to try soap making someday. Then I met Linda Mays through a local writing group and discovered that she also had an interest in soap making. We both decided to pursue this interest and do some research. Linda found cold process soap making was for her and I determined that I loved melt and pour soap making. However, we still get together occasionally to do some related soap projects. We are good cheerleaders for each other.

SS: Do you CP or MP, & why?

SA: I prefer MP soap making for a couple of reasons. First, I love all the soap molds available for MP soaps. I find them hard to resist and have quite a collection of soap molds now. I almost feel I could start a “soap mold museum!”

Second, I like MP soap making because I can custom make soaps for people. They can choose any one of my molds as well as the color and fragrance or essential oil that they would like. (As with most soapers, I have quite a collection of fragrance and essential oils, too.)

SS: What inspires you most?

SA: It is hard to choose what inspires me the most. However, I would have to say that I am inspired by the soaping blogs I read (am an avid follower of the Soap Queen blogs and this blog) and books (especially “Soapy Love” by Debbie Chialtas.)

Also, I find inspiration in the molds I discover. For example, I came across a mold in the shape of a foot and knew immediately that it would be perfect for a foot scrub soap with shredded loofah in it. It has become a popular soap of mine.

 

SS: Do you consider yourself an artist?

SA: Yes, I definitely consider myself and all other soap makers artists. We all use the elements of art in our soaps from color to texture as well as many of the design principles. I enjoy looking at all the artistic soap creations from the Super Soapers group members.


SS: How has soapmaking changed your life?

SA: I must admit I am watching a lot less television which I think is a good thing. I am just too busy making soaps.

Plus soap making has allowed me to explore more of my creative side.


SS: How would you describe your creative process?

SA: My creative process usually begins with a mold I see as well as the colors of the season. When I discovered a guest soap mold in the shape of leaves, I knew it would be perfect for autumn wedding soap favors or even Thanksgiving dinner favors. I then thought about the autumn colors and wanted to combine a couple of them, such as burgundy and gold, in each of the leaves by doing a double color pour. I also experimented with fragrances that represented the spicy, crisps scents of the season. I was very pleased as to how my autumn guest leaf soaps turned out.


SS: What do you benefit the most from other artists in your craft?

SA: I think I benefit the most from the support of other soap artists. The Super Soapers group facebook page is great and so is the Melt and Pour Soap Crafters group on facebook. You can present a problem you are having to the groups and other soap artists quickly try and provide some solutions. We are all wonderful cheerleaders for each other as well.

SS: Now for a little bit of fun.

Most soap artists seem to be all about their FO's & EO's, which of course are an important part of soapmaking, & everyone knows that scent is the major sensory trigger known for people. If you could explain which, FO or EO, has triggered the biggest memory from childhood, or the most important time in your life, which would it be & why? (this is optional of course).

SA: When I was 7 years old, I lived with my family in Santa Barbara, California for a couple of years. There was a lemon tree and a grapefruit tree in our backyard. I loved picking the lemons and grapefruits and smelling their refreshing tart aroma. I have loved citrus-y scents ever since.

Super Soapers October "Featured Artist"!!

                                                     Featured Artist:
                                     Andanily Piggott

We want to introduce you to, this month's "Featured Artist", Andanily Piggott. She is the Soap Artist behind SoapMuchLove, LLC, where many of her soaps seem like a "sweet treat" for your skin. We are very lucky to have her as this month's "Featured Artist", and hope everyone enjoys what she has to share with us, as a mom, a Soap Artist, & business woman.
 


Super Soapers: Tell us a little about yourself.

SoapMuchLove: My name is Ada Piggott, I am the crafter behind SoapMuchLove, LLC. All of my products are handmade out of my kitchen in Windermere, Florida USA. I  grew up in Venezuela and moved to The States in 2005 because I enrolled at FAU to do an Intensive English course. I am currently living in the Orlando area with my husband Kurt, and our two little girls, Hannah (4), and Ella (2). I am very friendly, passionate and a perfectionist. My biggest competitor is myself.  I am always experimenting with new techniques, trying to improve the soaps I have made or to make new designs. I am attracted to bright colors, so I love to make modern and unique soap designs.

 

SS: How did you get started in soapmaking?

SML: As a CPA (Certified Public Accountant) I was used to working crazy hours, but it wasn't until the birth of our first daughter, Hannah, that I realized I couldn't take being away from her for a minute, & I didn't want to work anymore. In August 2010, I reconnected with my creative side and developed this passion for handmade soaps. I researched and got more involved into the soapy world every night. My play date moms were my testers, and first clients. In July 2011, with the support of my family, and my husband I decided to take my handmade soap hobby a step further, and created SoapMuchLove, LLC.  

 

SS: Do you CP or MP, & why?

SML: I developed a passion for MP soaps, and initially decided to make MP soaps because I did not want to have Lye around the house with two little ones around.  However, I  fell in love with it  soon after I started.  I love that there is no limits to your creativity when designing a MP soap.  I also like the fact that I am able to participate at any craft fair without having to plan too far in advance.

 

SS: What inspires you most?

SML: Anything! My girls, any pattern, any color combination, magazines, bakery treats…. I could get inspired at any moment by anything.  I will never leave the house without my iphone.  My phone carries  "my inspiration board".  I have pictures of all the things that inspire me each and every day, so every time I go to  my soap room, and look at them, a new soap is created. I will say I am more aware of what surrounds me, and I love that!

 

SS: Do you consider yourself an artist?

SML: I will say that anyone able to create beautiful things with their hands is an artist. I believe that each piece that an artist creates has his/her personality, energy, and passion behind it. Each piece is unique!

 

SS: How has soapmaking changed your life?

SML: Becoming a soap maker has helped me reconnect with my creative side and find inner peace!. It is something I could totally say that I feel passion for, and I love to do.  I am grateful to be able to bring  smiles at someone's special occassion with one of my soap designs.

 

SS: How would you describe your creative process?

SML: It starts with the vision in my mind (color and design), and I draw it in my notebook. If I am making a soap bar or scrub, instead of a yummy or fun soap design, I research about which additive I want to add to it. Last but not least is choosing the fragrance or essential oil. 

 

SS: What do you benefit the most from other artists in your craft?

SML: Each artist is unique, and the beauty of that is being able to identify which soap maker makes that soap. As I mentioned before, when you make a handmade piece you leave personality in each soap. I am grateful to say I have gotten closer to many of the soap makers I admire.  Facebook and the group within are a great way to bond. It was a pleasure to meet some of them at the soap conference.  I not only learned more about helping my business grow, but it also helped me meet fabulous people. I don't feel competition, it is more about you and how you make your soaps. I feel that you could enrich your knowledge every day by interacting with other soap makers by sharing ideas, techniques,  and experiences.

 

SS: Now for a little bit of fun. Most soap artists seem to be all about their FO's & EO's, which of course are an important part of soapmaking, & everyone knows that scent is the major trigger sensory known for people. If you could explain which, FO or EO, has triggered the biggest memory from childhood, or the most important time in your life, which would it be & why? (this is optional of course).

SML: I will say spice scents.. it reminds me of Christmas time!

Super Soapers, September, Featured Soap Artist!

Featured Artist:

Silvia Victory

 

 

 

This Month's 'Featured Artist' recognizes Silvia from Indulgence by SV.Soaps, a mother of two boys, & a Soap Artist, who has been making soap since her teen days. Silvia was chosen to be this month's 'Featured Artist' by last month's 'Featured Artist' Linda Mays. Although the questions are the same, the answers are far from it. Each 'Featured Artist' is unique in their own way, regardless of the questions, & Silvia proves that in our interview. Here is what she had to share with us.

Super Soapers: Tell us a little about yourself.

Sv Soaps: My name is Silvia. I am the owner of Indulgence by SV.Soaps and the mom of two, very busy boys, Joshua 7 and Nicholas 3 ½. Soap making is my obsession, and my passion. I love to put a lot of creativity into each batch I make. I am always striving to learn new techniques, to take my products to the next level.

SS: How did you get started in soapmaking?

Sv: I started making soap with my mom, when I was in high school. We bought every soap making book we could find, and back then there weren’t as many as there are today. We started experimenting and from that point I was hooked. Soap making is definitely my passion. It is so satisfying for me to make something that leaves my skin feeling great, and has a bit of artistic flair.

SS: Do you CP or MP, & why?

Sv: I love making CP soap. That is truly my favorite medium. I find I can do so many different things with CP as far as color and design. Although, I do like to sometime add MP to my soap embeds for a fun effect. I find combining the two sometimes can make a very pretty effect I cannot, just, get with CP alone. But that is just my personal choice.

SS: What inspires you most?

Sv: That is a hard question. I really get inspired by so many things. I find new soap ideas just by going to the grocery store, or being out in nature. I also love to bake, and I get so many great ideas for my soaps from deserts. I love making my soaps look good enough to eat, but still leave your skin soft and feeling wonderful. I believe soap can be great for your skin, as well as beautiful to look at.

SS: Do you consider yourself an artist?

Sv: Yes, I guess so. I have always had a love of painting, cake decorating, and crafts in general. I love being crafty in any way I can. It truly relaxes me.

SS: How has soapmaking changed your life?

Sv: Soap making changed my life by helping me find my creativity and a sense of peace. It is truly a part of who I am. I started making soap when I was 17 years old. It gives me a sense of balance in this crazy life. There are not many days that go by that I do not make soap. It is truly my passion.

SS: How would you describe your creative process?

Sv: When I am working on a new soap design I think about the fragrance or essential oil I am working with. For example, if I am working on a Citrus soap I think about the citrusy colors I could use. An orange alone has so many colors, deep orange peel, light orange pulp, white pith, and green stem and leaves. I work from there and start doodling soap designs I think would work for a citrus soap. I absolutely love looking at color palettes online, I get a lot of ideas from them.

SS: What do you benefit the most from other artists in your craft?

Sv: There are so many amazing soap artists today. You can learn so many things from other soap makers, that could be as simple as changing up, one ingredient, that will make a world of difference. I find I benefit the most by chatting with other soap makers. I have found Facebook to be an amazing tool to get to know other soap makers and just chat with them. We all share our ideas and knowledge to help one another and I love it.


SS: Now for a little bit of fun. Most soap artists seem to be all about their FO's & EO's, which of course are an important part of soapmaking, & everyone knows that scent is the major trigger sensory known for people. If you could explain which FO or EO, has triggered the biggest memory from childhood, or the most important time in your life, which would it be & why? (this is optional of course).

Sv: For me, my major scent trigger would be a Citrus scent. I always remember smelling a lot of Citrus as a child, and it makes me happy and calm. I can’t get enough of it.

Super Soapers, August, Featured Soap Artist!

　

Featured Artist:

Linda Mays

When Super Soapers asked Linda Mays, an Administrative Assistant, who lives with her Persian cat, Peekaboo, just outside of Huntington, West Virginia to be our "FIRST" Featured Soap Artist for our blog, she said she would be honored.

Little did Linda know, that when finding some handmade soap, while on vacation, that it would turn into a passion and eventually bloom into a part-time, side business, that would not only be a means of financial stability, but also open her up to a whole new, & exciting world of soap making.

We asked Linda if she could share with us some of her experiences with soap making and of her process, as well as some insight into herself as a person, & this is what she had to say:

Super Soapers: Tell us a little bit about yourself.
Linda Mays: I am 51 years old and I’ve been making soap for just under two years. I am divorced and I have no children. I live right outside the city limits of Huntington, West Virginia, USA, with my Persian cat, Peekaboo. I have a few neighbors on one side of me, but two sides of my house border on a wooded hillside, so it’s nice and peaceful where I live. There are deer, foxes, owls, and other critter nearby.

I have lived in a lot of different places when I was younger, but those places were crowded cities and towns and I prefer more rural areas, so I eventually moved back to my old home town and built a small home – the one I’m in now.

I work as an administrative assistant at a medical center. I love cooking, reading, writing, gardening and, of course, soapmaking.

SS: How did you get started in soapmaking?
LM: I was on vacation in the Carolinas and bought some really nice soap at an exclusive gift shop. I loved the fragrance and when I ran out of the soap, I got on the internet to try to find more. I discovered this particular soap had been made by a wholesale company in Raleigh, North Carolina and they sold only to gift shops – not directly to the public. So I was unable to buy more online.

While I was searching the internet for that soap, I started seeing photos and descriptions of handmade soaps. I clicked on some of these links and saw that people were making soap right in their own kitchens. It had just never occurred to me that people were still making handmade soap in this day and age. I knew people used to do that kind of thing and the results didn’t seem to be so great (like granny’s old-fashioned lye soap). But the soap I was seeing online looked beautiful and I was fascinated with it. I started reading those web sites, then I ordered some books on soapmaking, and I eventually found the courage to try my first batch of cold process soap. It took me quite a while to make that first attempt at cold process because I was deathly afraid of lye after reading all the cautions and warnings about working with it.




SS: Do you CP or MP, & why?

LM: Nearly all of my soapmaking is CP, although I do a little MP now and then. I have asked myself why I like making CP soap so much better than I like making MP, and I really don’t know the answer. It’s a mystery why I would have such a definite and pronounced preference for CP, and yet not know the reason for that preference. I thought very hard about it again (because of your question), and the closest I can come to a possible reason that I seem to be drawn more to CP, is that I find CP to be more earthy and rustic.


SS: What inspires you most?

LM: Seeing a really cool bar of soap or seeing a video of someone making awesome soap cupcakes or cakes. I just start itching to go into the kitchen and try it myself.

SS: Do you consider yourself an artist?

LM: I totally don’t! I love creative writing and creative soapmaking, but somehow I always think of artists as people who have talents that I don’t – like singing and painting. I can’t do either of those things and I’m always so impressed with people who can.



 SS: How has soapmaking changed your life?

LM: Soapmaking has changed my life in several ways, but these are the two biggest ways:
· Soapmaking has brought me some much-needed extra money that has allowed me to stay in my home. There was a time when I thought I was going to have to sell my home and move back into an apartment, especially since I live alone and don’t have anyone else’s income to rely on. I work as an administrative assistant so I have a very modest income. I thought of advertising for a roommate, but I couldn’t bring myself to do it. I am a private person and I enjoy my quiet time. Taking on a roommate at age 51 would be very different than taking on a roommate at age 21. So soapmaking has allowed me to keep my head above water financially.

· Another way soapmaking has changed my life is that it has turned me into a small business owner. I have NEVER in my life aspired to be a business owner. I never even aspired to be a supervisor at any of the jobs I’ve had over the years. One of my family members thinks it’s because I have no ambition, but that’s not true - I just don’t have the right kind of personality. I like working quietly at my desk on the computer, minding my own business. I don’t like bossing people around, going to meetings, or speaking in public. That’s why I’m still a secretary and not a boss, LOL! I’m not a risk-taker either, so starting my own business has never appealed to me. But making and selling soap started slowly. It happened so gradually, and without me even thinking about it, and then it somehow turned into a business. There was never any time to be afraid or get nervous. It just kind of snuck up on me. It still seems very surreal to me that I am actually selling soap to people I’ve never met, and they are sending me money that I can use to buy groceries, to buy more soap supplies and to pay my mortgage. It seems like a miracle. A much-needed miracle.




SS: How would you describe your creative process?

LM: When I decide to create a new soap, I start by looking at pictures on the internet of beautiful soap from all over the world. Some of these soapmakers have been creating soap for decades. I’ve been making soap less than two years, so I like to get an idea of what has been done before by other people, in other places, during other times. Some pictures show styles that don’t appeal to me at all. Other pictures show techniques and styles and colors that seem beautiful to me. Since I think there are very few new things under the sun, I see nothing wrong with trying to imitate a style or technique that I particularly admire. I find it to be a great way to learn. Other times I may be looking at a picture of a bar of soap that someone else has done and it sets off a new, original idea in my head that is totally different than what I’m looking at. But some small detail about the soap photo I’m looking at can sometimes cause an idea to jump out of my own brain.


SS: What do you benefit the most from other artists in your craft?

LM: I probably benefit the most from other artists by seeing the colors and color combinations they choose for their soap and soap products. I am color-challenged! I don’t seem to have a natural knack for choosing nice shades of color, or for combining various shades in the same product.


SS: Now for a little bit of fun.
Most soap artists seem to be all about their FO's & EO's, which of course are an important part of soapmaking, and everyone knows that scent is the major trigger sensory known for people. If you could explain which, FO or EO, has triggered the biggest memory from childhood, or the most important time in your life, which would it be & why? (this is optional of course).

LM: This one is easy. I have two things that immediately jump to mind. Although I know I could think of many more, these are the first two that came to me.
· The smell of any honeysuckle fragrance oil transports me immediately back to childhood when I used to roam the woods and hills around our family house in West Virginia. The hillsides were covered in honeysuckle. I had five younger siblings and we used to build forts out of fallen wood, fieldstone and grapevines. We would ‘stock’ our fort with crackers, water, and honeysuckle flowers so we’d have something to eat while we fought off wild Indians, robbers or grizzly bears. We’d pinch the bottom end of the bud off, hold the bottom of the flower over our tongues, pull out the stamen slowly, and let one perfect sweet drop of ‘honey’ fall onto our tongues.

· The other fragrance I immediately thought of for this question also reminds me of childhood. It is the smell of coconut and other tropical oils. My family did not have a lot of money when I was growing up, so it was a rare thing to go to a public pool or a beach. On the few occasions we did get to go, it was such a rare treat that I was ecstatic. I remember walking past people who were lying on their towels and slathered with suntan oil. That smell was so strong because everyone had it on. So those happy feelings must have gotten mixed up with the smell of all that Hawaiian Tropic tanning oil that people used so much of in the 60s and early 70s. To this day, if I open up a bottle of certain tanning lotions and take a big sniff, it makes me feel really happy!
