Soaps for summer

He sells seashells by the seashore....sold out last time we made them.

We are almost into summer again & we decided to make lots of our "From the Shore"-seashell soaps and soap balls ( both on & off the rope ) Its been awhile since we created any and I have a bit of time before ball really gets going again.

first snow

I took a couple of pics of the lumberjack loofah soap outside yesterday. Then we got snow last night & this morning...it won't last but was cool to see. I decorated my blog just in time...lol.

Treasures from the shore

Yesterday I was home & helped mom unmold a few soaps we had made. I really like the colors in them, they seem fall but still like the shore too. 

 I really like the tones in these...

Down by the Sea & Frost on the Pumpkin- Soaps

One lb soap slabs in 'under the sea' and 'starfish frenzy'. Each one makes four 4-ounce bars.

We bought this mold in the summer and just poured it last week. The soap is 'frosted' with gold & silver micas. The whole half pumpkin weights 2 lbs !!

A mix mash of pieces...

Mullberry rolled in cinnamon

Lavender

New Spa Soap

Thinking of calling it 'Zebra Spa'....its scented with sweet orange & bladderwrack & seaweed with dead sea mud added to a bit at trace before pouring. What do you think?

Lavender SWB

Grabbed a few quick pics of the spicey bay rum on a rope , one of my fav scents as it smells great on men & women. Spicy & earthy.

Scratch N' Dent bars

They may not make it to my Etsy page....will have to see.

These bars are cold process then 'cooked' in the oven. The pics are of them dry & wet. 

This bar is sort of a combination of a Mocha Latte Cappucino ...LOL. 

It has choc , cinnamon, almond coffee, and vanilla buttercream. It would be a great kitchen bar, but I think it will have to be a scratch n' dent bar as the cinnamon seems to be leaving a slight brownish tinge on things when its wet. This may lessen as it dries out.

The next one is a spa blend of PEP. Pepper, Eucalyptus, Peppermint. I also added sea salt to the lye water & to the bar itself. This made it a bit hard however & it broke off when cutting.

New lilac soap

Here area couple of pics of a lilac soap.

Fresh soap log
