Happy New Year everyone!
I have been on hiatus since December 10th. Off to the Big Island in the Blue Pacific for some sun!
So I've been organizing this and that and dreaming up my next soap! Oh I need do stock for the etsy store and for the summer markets that begin in May. Yes a house warming gift that's what I'll get in the mood with!
Off to the breakfast nook to stir up some trouble. January 1 I did fragrance testing on 18 fragrances. This is part of my new credo "BUY NO OTHER Fragrance "' until these are used up! A good resolution even if it takes one two years to program it into the noggin! No photos of the fo test maybe tomorrow.
Today I did 4 pounds of luxury soap heavy avocado and mango butter. I used a 4lb wooden mold and divided it into two with a homemade dam. Well damn the dam leaked and some of one soap became part of the other. I'll cut it tomorrow PM and see what damage was done. Some of the cucumber leaked into the lavender.
So here are the soaps before I put them to bed!
Cucumber Melon
The next batch is Camomile and Lavender and I hope the leak wasn't to bad into this side. I love the colors!
