Sashiko Tutorial Style Cold Process Soap Making Infographic

Craft / DIY infographic titled "Cold Process Soap Making for Beginners". Archetype: SEWING TECHNIQUE STEP-BY-STEP. Craft-magazine instructional illustration in a technical schematic style with a vintage pattern book palette, clean panel layout, precise linework, subtle aged paper tones, beginner-friendly visual teaching. Create 6 numbered visual steps for cold process soap making, each with a clear technique diagram, short heading IN English, one-line caption IN English, and small tool icons. Show anatomically correct hand positions, no tool brand logos. Include safety callouts where relevant for sharp implements and caustic materials. Steps: 1) "Prepare Tools" — diagram of gloves, goggles, scale, thermometer, stick blender, heat-safe pitchers, silicone mold, spatula; caption: "Gather and measure all tools before starting." 2) "Mix Lye Solution" — diagram of carefully adding lye to water in a heat-safe container, with protective gloves and goggles; caption: "Add lye to water slowly and stir in a ventilated area." 3) "Warm Oils" — diagram of oils melting and being checked with a thermometer; caption: "Heat and combine oils until fully melted and near target temperature." 4) "Combine Mixtures" — diagram of pouring lye solution into oils with steady hand position; caption: "When temperatures match, pour carefully and begin mixing." 5) "Blend to Trace" — diagram of stick blender used in short pulses until light trace is reached; caption: "Blend until the batter thickens to a light custard texture." 6) "Pour and Cure" — diagram of soap batter being poured into mold, leveled with spatula, loaf cut after setting, bars curing on rack; caption: "Pour into mold, let set, then cut and cure the bars fully." Add a small safety legend panel with icons for gloves, goggles, ventilation, and careful knife use during cutting. Include simple measurement arrows, schematic material flow, and tool silhouettes. Visual content may subtly resemble the composition of a stitched tutorial layout, but all subject matter must remain soap making. All text MUST be written in English (array). Every heading, label, caption, legend and metric name in the image must be in English — not English. Spell each English word correctly using English characters and diacritics. Numbers stay as digits, no watermarks Anatomically correct hand positions. No tool brand logos. Safety tip for power tools / sharp implements where relevant.
