I have been neglecting to post any pics of my stuff so here are my testers. I have found that I do not like subtle, and I believe that there is enough of a clientelle that will agree with me. My soaps are strong, in your face , no apologies, and you can save them and still smell them a year from now, if you so choose (which would suck, because repeat sales would blow and I would have to get another job and my art would suffer and , well, you know, I'd have to get another real job and *sigh*, go to work)
Here's my pride and joy. Everybody has been raving about it. It's a hard single purpose bar, nice scent, hard,and long lasting. It is meant to scrub the crap out of your hands after a day of gardening, and it does the trick.
This here's the ultimate Lavender Bar, is infused oil, water and ground lavender, as well as used a small amount of Lavender 40/42 EO to round it out, the colour is natural, no colour added. The scent is amazing, kind of a wow deal. And I have placed little lavender turds on top, they are gone in the final product.
This one was fun. It's an FO from NDA that is Mint Chocolate. I coloroured it with cocoa, way too much cocoa....everytime we use it we bleed chocolate, I am never again getting mad at the colour of my chocolate soap and just throwing in colour...I have learned, but boy, what a lovely smell.
Okay, now one of my also favourites. It's my Orange Infusion Bar. I laid on the orange in this one. It has, Orange peel ground, ornage five fold, tangerine, pink grapefruit, ginger, that orange colour thingy I can't remember right now, annato maybe???? Blood orange, and the green is , crap I dunno...but it was an attempt at a swirl...yes, I suck.....But it smelled a little off the first month but at month two it smells of divine orange and I believe it will hold it's scent long into the next year. And the orange peel adds a very nice gentle scrub factor.
If you aren't presently doing it, do not make bath bombs, they make way too much money and people just love them, please, please do not make these. This is simply tangerine, and a little colour and an ice cream scoop. They are friggin great, cheap, money making machines....NOTE: Do not make these as they will keep you in the game,,,baddddd idea.
And strangley here is another one of my favourites. It is a 2% cow's milk product. This was one of my firsts but the soap as basic as it is is one of the most responsive soaps I have made to date. It's creamy, smooth, maybe lacking in sudsing a little, but as I said it is one of my earlier soaps before I understood the chemistry involved, but it sure feels good on the skin. It is french Vanilla based, and smelled like crap for about 4 months...yeah, weird I know....but now the vanilla smell is evident and I'm thinking if it stays fresh I will make a smackload of this to sell this fall when vanilla gets relevant again. And I hated the caramel colour first off but it is growing on me, uh, who knows.
