I have just completed my Level 2 Pastel Painting Workshop with David Wells-magnificent as usual and awesome to meet the lovely Karen Foster. I now have a few WIPs and I can definitely see a difference from the first workshop. Thanks for a fantastic weekend!!

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.
