soap making class @ceres!

pouring the lye solution into the melted fats/oil

went to a fantastic workshop today at ceres environment park in brunswick: soap making! the instructor was great; knowledgeable and enthusiastic. it was also really exciting to meet so many lovely and like-minded people in the group!

we were sitting under the grape vines in the market area near the chickens, and had a few of the girls *brrt*bgrkbk-brrr-b-grk*ing around under our feet while we grated, melted and stirred the soap. i even had a chookie fall asleep in my lap at one point!

it was a really beautiful spring day; cool enough to be pleasant, plenty of sun to create plenty of shade. i even heard frogs in the pond!
