Appologies!

[LomondSoap]

Sorry, I've not been around. I've been playing with packaging, my very favorite thing! I love it almost as much as making things


So, here's some of my new products, dispersing bath oil, liquid soap, butter and bath teas.

Another pic of the bath teas, this is just an A4 card printed and folded with 3 T bags inside.

Some of my first felting efforts...many more to come! I got the bug now...

My custom boxes, I wrap a clear sticker round the open edge of these with the name of the soap on top and the ingredients on the shorter side.
Packaging for my Saltire soap.


And finally, a pic from a recent fair at Loch Fyne, I need to learn that less is more! That table is too full
Oh and I started making cream & lotions....another chapter starts!

Your stuff is always so beautiful. It always catches my eye. I covet your stamps on the boxes. lol. I wanted to do that with my boxes as well, and get rid of the ribbon, but I have glossy white boxes and figured the ink wouldn't adhere.
Great job on all of it.

Thanks a lot ladies, I'm sorry I was away so long..

Felting is fun, but time consuming! Each bar takes around 30mins to do but it's a great way to hide ugly soap
You need wool tops which is wool before it is spun. You wrap it round the soap then wet it to form a loose skin, after moving it in your hands for a while it begins to tighten. Plunging into near boiling water then into cold also helps to shrink the wool. The final stage is to rub it fairly vigorously on a sushi mat which helps to "knit" the felt together.
Maybe I'll do a tutorial sometime.....

The cream making is sooo addictive and unlike soap it's instant and useable straight away and you don't have to make gallons and there's so many different kinds and combinations, I'm hooked :wink:

wow, all of your goodies looks so inviting.....love it & love your display.

Did you do the Silver/Clear labels yourself (foil?) or did you have them done, they are truly lovely!
