Wedding Soaps

I've been asked to make soaps for an upcoming wedding.  The bridesmaids gifts,  I'm also creating a spa package to go along with the soap.  The brides colours are white and royal purple.  Love purple.  She asked me to do something plain white,  I had the perfect recipe. A hard bar or luxury soap.  I make these for a client which she sells I'm her hairdressing shop so it's been perfected. Olive, castor, coconut, palm, shea butter. coconut milk, sodium hydroxide, white TD,  unscented and iridescent glitter.  Here are the results

I halfed the recipe because we didn't need too many.  And this poured like thick heavy cream.  

Took me three times to perfect the top swirls.  

 Added some glitter 

Let it sit 24 hours and here's the loaf

It turned out perfect ! Here's the cut bars 

I'm very honoured to be asked to make these special gifts. I will be wrapping them in royal purple tulle and white and royal purple ribbon with pearls.  I'll post those when they're ready.  Thanks for looking.  

Birthday Soap Sampler

I received a request to make a birthday gift basket of a variety of soap samples.  My customer had just received some  samples from me to try as she is sensitive to scents and certain oils.  She called me and asked me if I could put something together for her mothers birthday in a gift basket and to keep budget low to 25$.   Putting my creative hat on, I made a basket instead of buying one.  Cost 2$ and time.  I picked out 8 if my favourite soaps.  And as soapers we always have end pieces so I cleaned them up and wrapped them in cellophane.   Making the basket (which by the way is a green hanging folder)  I made it grassy with ribbon around it so it looks summery.  The ribbon, Dollorama! Folders, free!  Full box from free curb day.  Great find! Hot glue and a bit of trimming the grass ends turned out I'd say pretty fab. Scrunched in some tissue paper, viola.  Nice assorted bunch of soaps for mom. 

Punched two holes on either side of basket, slipped in a ribbon for a holder, done.  I will place inside a list of what each soap is what's in it and benifits.  Love this idea,   What a great way to promote your soaps and "gift" something unique.  Thanks for looking.  Happy Soaping. 

Rodeo Soap

Stampede! 

Another KrazySoap.  A bit if everything.  Left over soap shavings, chunks of older soaps that I have left over.  In the-crock-pot.  I added distill water, castor oil and let it melt.  It was brown so I thought I'd add in some Dead Sea Mud and Wild West Leather fragrance.  Into a milk carton, these make life so easy with this type of soap.  Hardened up by the morning.  With being a Canadian, and having sister working in Ponoka, Alberta and daughter living in Calgary, both stampede towns, it just seemed fitting to name this soap Rodeo.  It even looks western.  Love the leathery scent, perfect for those rugged cowboys out there! Enjoy and happy soaping! 

In the crock  pot looks like stew! 

In the carton, you can see the chunky pieces in there. 

A soap full of fun and great for your skin.  Nice for the men. 

Thanks for looking.  

Secret Feather Swirl

I've been watching the YouTube again and saw a technique using a hanger tool for swirling soap.  It creates a secret feather inside so had to give it a go.  Finished pour looks like a peacock feather on the outside 

These are the left over soap I poured into my silicone ripple molds 

And here is the results 

Not exactly a feather.  I think I turned it once too many times but I like the result looks like a dream catcher or something a bit aboriginal.  

Here's the top of the ripple soap. And the back side 

I'm still trying to get my soap at light trace for doing intricate designs this recipe wasn't too bad.  Olive, coconut, avocado, grapeseed, castor, distill water, lye. Added bentonite clay, coconut milk powder, activated charcoal, oxides green and brown, pink clay. Scented in cool peppermint.  White TD. Thanks for looking! Retail 6$ each cdn happy soaping!
