Question of the Week - Soaps and Candles

There are many of the same techniques that can be used in both soaps and in candles - layering, embedding, making scenes in gel candles, etc. Additionally, candles are often associated with relaxing in the tub. Since there is a clear connection between these two crafts (or artforms if you prefer), here is this week's question...

Do you make soaps, candles or both? Please tell us what type of soap (CP, MP...) and what type of candles you make (votives, soy tins, gel...). If you only make one, have you ever been intersted in trying out the other?
