Today's Soaping Effort

These are today's soaping efforts-peacock tiger stripe and my attempt at a swirl- both fragranced with black raspberry.

Pastel Drawings

Here are a couple of pastel drawings- I think I'm just about finished...

Trying New Techniques

I am just loving trying new techniques with making soap and there are so many videos out there, which are so inspiring. At the moment I'm sticking to one recipe, which I know works and I'm experimenting with fragrances and colours. 

 

This first soap is a variation on the tiger stripe. The fragrange is Oatmeal, Milk and Honey- it's smells lovely!

The second soap also has the same fragrance but a tighter tiger stripe. 

The

third soap has layers of colours that are quite pastel and the fragrance is White Tea and Ginger. 

More Soap!

I have been experimenting with the process of soapmaking and properties of oils and fragrances (and glitter)-while trying not to burn myself!

Here are some of the pieces I've made-they smell great-but they don't look perfect at all! The fragrances are variations of Patchouli, Rose, Orange, Arabian, and Sandlewood. These need a little clean up.  

Tardis and Dalek Soaps

I had a go at creating some Dr Who soaps:)

More candles!

I made an assortment of candles using a variety of aromas such as chocolate, coconut lime, Angel, Beautiful and Persian. 

First Candle!

I had a go at making my first candle today! I was going through so many candles so I thought I would try making my own. I'm so glad I did-it's so much fun! It's a soy candle scented with Chanel No.5:)

Soap!

I went to a soapmaking workshop on Saturday and I made my first batch of patchoulli and rose scented soap.

I also got an opportunity to make some lovely transluscent soap which is a deep rose colour with a gold shimmer  and peach scented.
