Maker Faire through Kai’s Eyes

Kai Maker Faire SFMy friend Kai from Austin flew up to San Francisco to be my assistant for Maker Faire and he blogged about his experience here.

I have been working on orders pretty much non-stop since I got back from San Francisco and the happy little packages will be making their way towards you now! Perhaps I will write about Maker Faire this Sunday.

If you have any questions about the status of your order, please do not hesitate to contact us!

In the meantime, hope to see you at the Midtown Farmers Market tomorrow where all items at my booth will be $5.00!

Maker Faire



Maker Faire, originally uploaded by fetosoap.

We’ve just come back from both the Handcrafted Soapmakers Guild Conference and Maker Faire. Here are some of the soaps people made at my booth at Maker Faire!

Our Baked Bread Candles are going to be in a stage production!

Baked Bread CandleA customer just called me to re-order some Baked Bread Candles for a stage production that his school is putting on that includes a bakery. He is trying to make the scene seem as realistic as possible – including making the audience salivate – so he’s going to be burning Feto Soap’s candles during the performance. He said he purchased from a couple of different retailers that were offering the same Baked Bread scent, but ours were the only ones that were spot-on.

Mooolds.

At Maker Faire I will have oval, round, rectangle, floral patterned and bees & honeycomb molds for people to use to create their own soap. I will also be bringing a box of toys, glitter and fragrances so you can make your soap look and have whatever you desire in it!

Here’s a fun cow soap I made with blue colorant, gold glitter and fresh rain fragrance in an oval mold.

Liquid Soap Colorants

I’ve made the decision on what 10 colors to bring with me at Maker Faire. The soap you create can be yellow, pink, red, orange, green, sea foam green, neon lime, blue, tan, or purple! soap colorants

Red Palm Oil Experiment

Shea Butter Red Palm Oil Soap

At Feto Soap, we are always trying out different ingredients to bring you the best and beautiful soaps possible. This Shea Butter Soap is made with Red Palm Oil – no colorant was added to this soap, yet it has a beautiful golden hue. It is a cold process soap and still in curing mode, so not yet available for purchase.

Stay tuned for more soap experiments to come!
