These were made on Friday, cut on Saturday and stamped and trimmed today.



Mandarin/Anise



Sweet Orange/Clove/Cinnamon



Rose Geranium/Palma Rosa

This was the first time I have used activated charcoal (Mandarin/Anise) and I am delighted with the result. The lather is snowy white.

Thanks to all who have posted advice about the use of charcoal.

Dagmar, Lyn and Fweda, thank you for the lovely comments.

This is whipped soap, but since it is still very hot here it was quite soft when I poured/plopped it into the molds. I used large PVC pipes with endcaps, then cut into 3 cm circles once set and cooled and then halved the circles. The idea for this shape came from a soaper friend (you know who you are)

I love the unique shape and the stamp... does the symbol have a meaning?

The symbol is a sigil made from 3 different runes. Ansuz, Laguz and Uruz. My daughter made the stamp for me.

It symbolises Health and Vitality.

I thought they were runes.

Hi there:

I am already a fan of your runic soaps. I love charcoal soap also and yours is a nice black velvet colour, beautiful.

Congratulations to you.

Warm regards,

April

Thank you Deda and April.

This batch is for my May markets. Their earlier versions which are for the big show in April look almost identical, except for the Mandarin/Anise in which I used the last of my black oxide (lathers greyish) and more of a dark Pewter colour. The charcoal is a keeper. I have always used it medicinally but now it will be stocked for soaping too
