New soaps

[deirdreanne]

I've had a lot of fun playing with scents and designs this past week and thought I'd share! Started using tussah silk as well and I love the soft, smooth feel of the bars so far. Enjoy!

1) Limoncello - scented with citrus EOs, including a lovely lemon EO that my dad brought back from the Amalfi coast. Anchored the scent with white clay and litsea

2) Dark & Stormy - scented with cinnamon and lime EOs and benzoin, and with ginger beer instead of water

3) Lavender Sunshine - scented with lavender and citrus EOs

Yes, the Italian lemon EO was a nice surprise, and more aromatic than the lemon EO that I usually use

Yes it is! When I made it, I was imagining black on the bottom (chocolate), brown in the middle (mineral mud) and white on top (TD). But I think that the sugars in the ginger beer had other plans, because the top went a sort of shocking orangey-brown. One of those things that you can pretend you meant to do because it worked out anyway
