2 New Goat's Milk Soaps!

I got this great fuschia mica from The Conservatorie, so I wound up using it in 2 batches in a row!

 

 

This is a rosemary-mint goat's milk soap with tussah silk and colloidal oatmeal added for exfoliation (that's the brown specks).

 

 

I'm calling this one "Hippy Dippy" - it's a straight patchouli soap.  I love the little hearts that appeared to either side - I wish each bar was like that!  Only these 2 have the hearts, though.

 

 

How Commercial Soap is Made

Someone on a forum that I frequent posted this video.  I thought folks might find it interesting.

Perfume!

My darling husband bought me a perfumer's kit for my birthday!  What a great guy :)  I've made 4 beautiful scents to try out in the NewBo Market this weekend, and they're also for sale at my shop online.

 

 

Aerafel ~ A 1-dram roll-on perfume oil made with 100% pure essential oils. Violet, ginger, coconut and allspice - alluring and exotic!

 

Deruyael ~ A 1-dram roll-on perfume made with 100% pure essential oils. Tonka bean, fig, black pepper, and mandarin! A spicy yet sweet blend!
(yes, I know it's the same pic - when they're boxed, you can't tell the difference in pic!)

 

 

Caluveh ~ A 1-dram atomizer (spray) perfume made with 100% pure essential oils. Sandalwood, rose, lemon and coriander. Subtle and alluring!

 

Zoraias ~ A 1-dram atomized (spray) perfume made with 100% pure essential oils. Grapefruit, clary sage, and geranium. Young and lively!

Each of these new scents is only $8 each.  I'll have them available to sniff at my booth this Sunday at the NewBo Market, from 10 am to 6 pm!

 

 

Great Video ~ Butterfly Swirl

This is a video tutorial from Youtube for doing a butterfly swirl in CP soap.  The soapmaker is Roberta, who is on one of the mailing lists that I'm on.  Very cool idea!

Goat's Milk Soap - CPOP

This is my 2nd attempt at a CPOP. It' a new batch of my pina colada, which was the 2nd batch I ever did, and one of my testers loved it so much that she specifically requested it again. This is a goat's milk soap with tussah silk. Turned out beautiful!
