Recent soaps!

[AshleyR]

Here are some of my most recent soaps!

After being in business for a little over a month, I've made some changes to the way I cut my bars, etc. after receiving feedback from customers. I've decided to cut them slightly smaller (they're 1 1/4" now instead of 1 1/2" like before), and I line my molds with Wilton silicone baking mats to get the rounded edges on the bottom. I've also found that customers seem to gravitate towards the swirly tops, so I've started doing them like this now rather than cutting the tops off (I used to do that because I hated the ash! Turns out customers don't really mind, they just like how the swirly tops look!)

So, here they are!

New generation of "Citrus Carnival".

New generation of "Lavender & Oats".

"Lily of the Valley" coloured with french pink clay and dried rose petals on top.

"Northern Pines".

"Plain Ole Goatsmilk" (bastille).

All of them together:

I suck at names, so if anyone has any creative ones for me, let me know! Thanks!

Thank you! Yep, I do sell online (http://www.willowridgesoapco.com), but am not getting many orders due to the high shipping costs (I'm in Canada and shipping is really expensive here!)

I have been doing well locally though. I have 3 fairs coming up and 3 spa parties in the next 3 months.

These soaps aren't on my site yet as I just made them about 2 weeks ago.

Those are absolutely gorgeous! They look so smooth and creamy! Do you think it's your recipe or do you use GM or yogurt or something? Or do you buff them up to get them to look that way? Whatever you do, they look divine. And the bottoms do have a great look from the mats. The tops are excellent, too! Great job!!!!

Wow! These are so beautiful and creamy! They all look like custard. What did you use to create such beautiful shades? and what is spinkled on the green bar? I love all of them but my favorite is the pink and white.

Ashley,
These are awesome!

How do you get the bottom of the soap rounded?

Is that part of your mold?
