Did a little photoshoot this morning :)

[AshleyR]

I recently got a new camera (Nikon D80) so this morning I decided to do a little photoshoot of some of my soaps!

Here they are!

This is the one I added the lemongrass curls to (and was wondering what scent went good with lemongrass FO, a few weeks ago!) I ended up adding blood orange FO, a tiny bit of eucalyptus (can't smell it though), and some calendula petals. The curls don't really show up that great, they're more like little pieces here and there...

This is a mango soap (that you already saw a few days ago. Just took a different pic!) I did buy a huge $4 mango to put in this pic, but I had no idea they had such a big pit in the middle (never eaten a mango before!) I hacked it up, so no mango in the pic!

Pink Grapefruit. You saw this one the other day too....

My first salt bar! It is unscented and is made with sea salt and lots of shea butter!

Here's a huge basket of a bunch of 'em. I love this basket!

Off to make cucumber soap!

lovely

Artistic genius. Take a bow.

 

[Rosey]

Those are beautiful!!

Ashely, for the mango, you can cut it right before the pit (length wize) and then seperate it and you'll have 2 halves - no pit. You can then take your knife and slice it to make squares and then you can pop it inside out.

I'm not sure that makes sense but i found a picture:

Isn't the Nikon D80 a wonderful camera?!?

It was that or the Canon Rebel xsi (aka Canon 450D) when I did my camera shopping and it all came down to cost, so I went with the Canon (bought it at a store that was closing so I got one heck of a good deal!)

Your pictures and your soaps are beautiful! Excellent job!
