I was shocked by the early morning snowfall we had the other day. I still haven't gotten over the fact that we're into Autumn. Anyway, seeing the snow inspired me to make this soap. Summer's End with lavender, lemongrass and sage. I'm low on essential oils so I decided to use FOs this time. Also, I realized I should have cleaned the soap up a bit before taking a picture. The camera magnifies every rough spot. I also don't know why it's so large. I resized it so it would be the same size as the rest but for some reason it won't go any smaller.
After several hints from a nephew about being low on soap, I finally got around to making his favorite Dragon's Blood. It took me awhile because I kept forgetting to buy hemp oil. I decided to have some fun with this one and made it with HP so I could use plastic molds.
Dragon's Blood, Beer and Hemp Soap (plus pumpkin which is explained below)
I doubled the beer soap batch because I also wanted to try out a new FO called Pumpkin Lager. I wanted to add pumpkin in since I was using this scent which is why the Dragon's Blood has the extra additive of pumpkin in it. I told my nephew I was doing it and he just shrugged. He didn't care as long as he got his soap. I also have say thanks to Fyrja for posting a pic of her Celtic soap. I looked at her pic and thought "That's really nice. I wonder what happened to my Celtic mold..."
Have a safe and happy Halloween to everyone. Pumpkin Lager and Dragon's Blood Skulls.
