I set out my soapy ny res to start playing with colour and patterns. I’m now at the end of my soapy year, my cupboard is full so i have no room to cure any more til after Christmas - and darned if my OH didn’t buy me the most delicious aloe Vera and coconut water fragrance oil grr
anyway here’s my pics. They need refining of course, I’m a little rough around the edges but that will happen in due course. My big take away is I’ve had fun, and my house smells lovely and I have lots of lovely soap to use. All soap is for personal use, I don’t sell. Perhaps in a few years time but I just love my hobby.
lemongrass/grapefruit and tea tree
lemongrass/grapefruit and tea tree - redone as I thought the first was ruined due a really fast thickening batter
spearmint and eucalyptus
the multi pic - top - lemongrass - an attempt at layering and creating a hanger swirl
Rose geranium and ylang ylang - pink clay used to colour
Second - lavender and mint - swirled in the mould
Cedarwood and bergamot with calendula petals
Third row - sweet pea - in the pot swirl
bluebell - swirled in the mould
finally there is Cedarwood and bergamot made in a rectangle mould and spun on a lazy Susan, and Rose geranium, lavender and ylang ylang - rose clay with black mica lines ( thinking I might try activated charcoal but wanted to test with a cheaper option first!)
thank you everyone who has helped and encouraged my soapy adventures this year!
