No, bad idea...that abbreviates to PUS. *smirk*

Wow. A new year. And a great big urge to make more soaps. I need, SO need to get all my stuff from Malaysia.

By the way, how does this sound? Pretty Usable Soaps?

Making a new batch of soap, with REAL lemon juice. (:

Just made up a new batch of soap with Green Tea. (:

Not only does it have powdered Green Tea, I added in Green Tea leaves for good measure.

I unmolded and cut the White Praline Cream Soap today. The layers are slightly botched. Erm..slightly. Other than that, it smells heavenly!

This is one of my first soaps made. Doesn't it look absolutely delicious? The little glass ornament on it helps, too. (: It was supposed to be a Christmas soap, brightly coloured in red and green. But the green turned out to be yellow, and the red turned out pink.

Marble green swirled soap, I shall call this Peppermint Cream. A nice 20oz block.

A luscious orange coloured soap, I made this with extra glycerine, sweet almond oil and a good dollop of honey. Then I lightly scented it with peach. 20oz block. I will call this Honey Almond Surprise.

Made a whole bunch of test samples.

A green speckled Geranium scented soap, I added pretty coloured balls to the 20oz block. Let's call this Geranium Garden.

A white creamy soap with green beans scattered all around inside. How nice for a masage while bathing? Lightly scented with Bergamot, I call this elegant soap Earl Grey's Soap.

Lavender Loaf is white with a pink top layer, marbled lightly. A 20oz block, scented with Lavender.

New Soap!

Just made a batch of soap. I shall call it White Praline Cream Soap. Amongst other delicious things, this soap has coconut and cocoa butter in it. It smells like white chocolate!

I made a 20oz block. The bottom layer is white, and coloured the top in a pretty pink.

Ok, time to ignore all I've done/tried/experimented before.

I've been so wrong all this time! I shouldn't be doing Melt and Pour Glycerin soaps.. That's for home crafting with children! (:

The past few months (wow, my last post was in Aug 2002) I have been working on Cold Process Soaps.

And might I say, with a little blush, I think I got it!

This blog will be where I will post pics and details of each new soap I make. (Only the successful ones, of course.) *cough*
