Hey everyone.
It has been a long and I do mean loooonnnnngggg time since I have blogged. I promise beginning next month I will post at least monthly. I hope all is well with everyone. Get ready for the fall launch. I'm so excited. :) I am testing a few scents but have my Fall line together.
On another note.... I wanted to show pics for a lavender soap batch that I made for my mother's meet up with her friends. I also wanted to let you all know that you can take neat photos on your cell phones/other devices if you do not feel that you have a "photographer's" camera lol...check out the next post for more.
Happy soaping :)

PLEASE
and I do mean PLEASE do not copy/post these photos without my consent/permission.
I've "been away" for too long so I am uploading photos from beginning to the end.
I put color with the oil 1st then blended in case my fragrance blend causes my soap to trace quickly.
*do not try this if you do not know how to guage if/when your oil/lye solution is properly mixed.
Adding the lye solution
Mixing the lye/oil
*notice how the color changes from glossy glob to opaque
Lye & oil are almost combined notice the swirl
Adding fragrance oil (f/o)
Mixing f/o with soap base..no acceleration...yet
(I blended this one and of course it was a larger batch lol)...
No issues. Poured soap into 2 molds and added lavender to the top. Thought I'd keep this simple/rustic once cut.
Used flash on cell phone to highlight the soap loaf. It looks like this will be a nice/creamy soap batch.
The other loaf/another angle.
*Play with your phone/camera/gadget settings until you have the picture that works for you. I did not worry about lighting with this - just put the setting on flash.
See what I mean...Up close and personal :)
Cut bars of soap
Stamped bars
Stamped with tags
The end...Bagged and ready to go
Thanks for your patience if you have checked the site. I promise I will have more to come...by the way...I will have a lavender series on sale this Fall/Winter :)
Have a great week.
