I was away from SMF for a while.. lots going on around here, including a 2 year old son with a broken arm (which is thankfully finished and healed and cast-free now!)..
I finally got to do some soaping, and I took some of my latest creations to the studio this week.
First, this is part of my Local Soaps Project - I promised pics of this one, it's my Cabernet Wine Soap with an intense wine reduction for the swirl.
Next is a Black Raspberry Vanilla scented "Woolie Bar" - which is basically a bastille with a very high lanolin content added, intended for washing wool (diaper covers and soakers, mainly).
This one is a rebatch of sorts.. all the shreds and trimmings and bevelings, plus grated up "ugly bars" in a basic soap batter.. this one is Medina Orchard Apple (Local Soaps). Used unfiltered cider for the solution, which caused the dark rusty red color.
Another rebatch of shreds.. mostly the same shreds but a different base (no fruit juice).. This one is Cashmere-Pepperberry.
This one was a custom order for a customer - an extra superfatted castille in Monkey Farts scent, no color or additives (sensitive skin).
And finally, one of my recent favorites - a beer soap (Bud Light) scented with Leather and Kudzu. The berry-ish Kudzu really tames down that "saddle shop" scent of the Leather. Love it, can't wait until it hardens up enough to use!
Thanks for looking!!
