I had so much fun making these new products I had to share them with you. I love it when I get to be creative with my soaps. It takes a lot more time but it is so much fun that it's worth the extra effort. Check it out.
This is a batch of watermelon soap that smells just like a juicy, ripe watermelon. My kids say that it smells like a jolly rancher candy. I had to make 3 separate batches of soap to achieve the look of the rind and seeds but it was well worth it. On some of the bars my "rind" wasn't set up as well as I thought so it moved a bit on me but the over-all effect is still great.
While this Lavender & Mint soap isn't a new fragrance for me it is one of my favorites and it turned out perfect this time.
This is a new fragrance for my line, Grapefruit. I swear it smells so good I wanted to drink the fragrance right out of the bottle. This was 3 separate batches to achive this effect but I think it looks really cool.
I am calling this one Girly Girl Soap to go along with my Manly Man Soap. It is a fragrance "type" of Philosophy's Amazing Grace. What a scent! I am in love with it! I colored it with a pink and purple swirl effect that makes it look as ultra feminine as it smells.
Last but not least, Lavender & Mint Lip Balm. We have Lavender Festival coming up really soon in Sequim. It is pretty big festival with farm tours and a big street fair. Our farmers market is open during it and we get a lot of the overflow foot traffic. I was brainstorming on something new I could make when I thought about Lavender Lip balm. Believe me, at the festival you find a lot stranger things that this. Lavender is actually a very nice tasting flavor but I thought since I love my Lavender & Mint Soap so much, why not a Lavender & Mint Lip Balm. I tried it, I liked it!

Beautiful soaps! They look like they came out of a wonderful soap store called Lush.
Nice job! I agree, it was worth the effort :D
They look wonderful. I'm about to the point of trying to make my first goat milk soap, and I'm nervous about trying just a plain soap. You're definitely a soap artist!
Thank you both for the wonderful compliments. I have heard of Lush but have not ever been there. Teressa, don't be nervous, just make sure you weigh everything carefully. I researched for a year before I made my first batch and as soon as I made it I thought how silly I was for being so nervous.
Girl ya are the Van Gogh of creative soaps. Those watermelon bars have got to be the cutest. I can tell your havin' a blast.
I've been sick and out of the loop since Memorial Day and am tryin' to catch up.
Have a fantastic day and a weekend filled with blessings!!! :o)
Thanks Nezzy! I hope you are feeling 100% now.
I visited your soap store....love some of the clever names for the soaps!! We made soap a couple of years ago for a school lesson.....to do it full time would absolutely be a labor of love. I am tempted to place an order, but need to decide which ones sound the best, otherwise the spousal unit would flip finding a mail delivery of enough soap to last a lifetime. lol
Thanks Blondee! Place an order and I'll throw in an extra surprise. That goes for all of my blog followers-In the comments or notes section of the order write "Blog Follower"
Your soaps look so pretty! I like the watermelon and grapefruit.
Galloping Goats, I finally made up my mind. I ordered the Girly, Girly, Fell in Love, and the Lilac soaps. Can't wait to get them! :)
Have a wonderful day!
Thanks, for your order. Let me know how you like your surprise when you get it. Shannon
Shannon- The soaps are divine! I just opened the package...thank you for the little 'surprise'....can't WAIT to try these. They all smell amazing! I WILL be ordering more for x-mas....these were supposed to be gifts, but they won't make it to anyone's stocking. lol
Thank you!!
