Another teaser of soaps that will soon be listed on at my
store. This first one is a chamomile soap. It is made with some chamomile infused oils, chamomile EO, and a bit of ground chamomile for texture.
This soap is called chocolate espresso. I colored the bottom with cocoa powder and the top with titanium dioxide. I love this photo...part of my payment to Dylan for his photo skills was that delicious espresso I made for the picture. We got a nice espresso machine about a year ago and have since turned into coffee snobs.
On the theme of taste hot drinks...this soap is scented with green tea and cucumber. (Okay okay...I would probably never drink a cucumber tea, but it smells amazing with green tea!) The green swirls are made with my favorite colorant, french green clay. I also sprinkled the top with some clay, spirulina powder, and sparkles for a little pizazz.
This beautify soap looks a lot like the chocolate espresso, but it is lavender vanilla. The color is not quite what I was going for, but I think it looks nice anyways. I had been hoping for more of a lavender color instead of the brownish purple I got. Ah well...it smells great.

Those are very lovely! There's something comforting about soaps that have at least some white in it.
ReplyDeleteWe got an espresso maker a couple of years ago, and now it's sitting in a cupboard collecting dust. ;}
Mmmmm! Those all look so yummy! You make the prettiest soaps! :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Fall!
Ohh. So pretty! He dose have some mad camera skills! Lol. Can I borrow him? Haha
ReplyDeleteHow do you do those straight layers?! I need to work on that
Thanks for all the lovely comments.
ReplyDeleteTo get the straight lines I simply make the soap in two batches. Usually, I make a full batch and will split it to get the base for two types of soap. Then about 30 min to 1 hour later, I make up another batch and just pour it on top of the base layer.
For someone who goes to school full time (and studies in her free time), where do you find the time to soap, make them look good and do photo shoots? Another wonder woman~!
ReplyDeletehaha thanks for the complement Joanna. Wonder women I am not though. ;)
ReplyDeleteI make my soap only on the weekends and I am lucky to have an amateur photographer for a boyfriend. So he takes the photos for me once a month. I often make up a bunch of lye on Friday and just make 3-5 batches of soap on Saturdays. I like that I don't have to wait for the lye to cool that way and I can soap a room temp.
