I haven't shared pictures for awhile, so I thought I'd post a few new soaps.
First is the soap I made with oil infused with calendula I grew. The calendula didn't really give me any color to speak of. The colors are from sea buckthorn oil and annatto infused olive oil. This soap is scented with a blend of rosewood, lavender and patchouli essential oils.
Next is this year's version of Frosted Birch and Juniper (WSP). I have made this for the last couple of years to give to the guys at Christmas. I actually made two batches - one was a column pour and one was a faux funnel pour. Same colors were used in both batches - black, white, celadon green and a custom periwinkle-ish blend.
Also for the guys, my first attempt at a woodgrain pour. I learned some things and will definitely do this again - it was fun! This is scented with a blend of Bramble Berry's Tobacco and Bay Leaf and cedarwood essential oil.
Another first is this beach themed soap made using soap scrapers from a set I was fortunate enough to win when Creamy Obsession sponsored a soap challenge. This technique has intimidated me for some reason (probably math related LOL), but it was not as difficult as I expected it to be. It is a time commitment though! Scented with a blend of Bramble Berry's Sea Salt (which I have decided I don't like) and Fragrance Buddy's Celestial Sea (which I love). I want to remake this and adjust my colors, but I'm pretty happy with my first attempt.
And last, the lavender lover's soaps. This scent is a blend of Sweet Cakes Lavender Fields and Lavender Sage from Fragrance Buddy.

Got it. First attempt. ( 
And just to confirm, I am on your Christmas list, right? Because I'm a guy, and Christmas is coming, so just sayin'....)
