I was pretty bummed about the July challenge being NOT seascape since I just made 96 of them!
My beautiful, smart, talented and very giving sister, Valerie, is getting married after almost 20 yrs being single! The wedding is at the end of July and is a beach theme. All guests are encouraged (basically required) to wear swim trunks, island print dresses, and flip flops. They're going to have a contest to see who arrives in the best foot wear so I'm planning to bling up cheapo rubber beach sandals.
She asked me to make some beachy soap and lotions/potions to give as prizes for the shoe contest and other fun games so I sorta went mad with it, lol. I ended up making 4 different scents and cut most in half so they're guest sized bars.
The first is Maui Moon-Rise. It's my take on Soap Queen's Sahara Sunset, just changed from desert to beach. It's scented with NG's Sweet Orange Chili Pepper with a touch of patch. The moon is white M&P colored with Mad Mica's Bright Yellow Raincoat.
The 2nd is Bali Beach Bum scented with FB's Celestial Sea. I used ground oats in the brown portion to mimic sand particles. I LOVE this scent. It really plays nicely in CP so I had time to design.
3rd is Caribbean Surf scented with BB's Lemongrass Mojito.
4th is Jamaica Me Crazy with scent of the same name by NG. This one morphed into something unrecognizable from the OOB scent. It's horrible to me! Probably because I was expecting the tropical notes and can detect none in the cured soap. My sis and her guy like it so that's all that matters!
Finally, a pic of the 4 different soaps together. She'll use them as table decor along with sea shells, little lanterns, coral, etc, then have everyone take one with them.
