No more soap sales + being copied

I have discontinued soap sales, at least temporarily. I have had a lot of fun over 18 years making soap and meeting so many other interesting people. Thank you everyone .
Maybe I will get back to it again later, but meanwhile I will be making only for personal use and gifting..




Soaps old and new



this is a combo of coconut, lemon and lime.
i have done something different with it in that i added titanium dioxide ...
which i deliberately didnt mix it properley.
the aimed for effect was for streaks of white that might look like falling stars.
i should have had less falling stars i think!!!!!.... but it sure smells good.
next time i will do it differently and with somewhat less mad abandon.
it might well be the sort of soap that qualifies for what i am sometimes asked for.......whitening soap!! .
the inevitable sago is there.......again because i can and because i ran out of ideas at the last minute!!

OK.....so this is actually a combo of lavander and some flowery fragrances .
i added the camomile because it was lonely out in the garage and needed some company.
i have too much camomile !! I coloured it green
because i failed to come up with any other idea fast enough :-)
It is called "Lavender Flowers"




this is a fresh clean feminine fragrance to which i have added a tiny touch of patchouli.
the idea of adding the patchouli to this fragrance i can gratefully attribute to another soapmaker .
it is called " A Cleaned up Patch" because i usually associate Patchouli with dark colours for some reason and decided this time to add all my tiny fragments of soap to the mix and keep it pale and pretty ....with blobs





========================







mango mango







Man vanilla is made with vanilla, orange and a secret ingredient.
It is coloured with blue in one part and the other part is left to go to a
deepening warm chocolate colour  from the vanilla fragrance oil

Rose and Lavender.......a classic in pink an
 violet



yuzu
==================================


i did a bit of soap yesterday.....Magic Hour is the blue one 
Strawberry and Vanilla is the pink one.
Both smell fabulous







===========================================


This is a duplicate of a popular mens fragrance that I have added some secret ingredients
 to so as to make it more deep and mysterious.
 It has a LOT of gold mica in that yellow /gold colour so I am
calling it "golden man". ....but women will like it too


What can i say.......it smells like Mango and has
some coloured sago on top so it is not totally plain




This too is a duplicate.......this time it is of Crabtree and Evelyns
beautiful "Summer Hill" 
I went feral and added poppy seeds to some of the bars for no good reason ....
except that i could !!

===================================





this is more of Scentworks wonderfully fresh  "Yuzu"



my first time to use Scentworks "Pink Sugar"
I like it and can think it will be popular.
it is actually much more yellow than it appears here
AND...a couple of weeks later it is very dark brown and smells mainly of vanilla.
i loooooove it


This is the ever popular "Provence" .
except that this time it is night in Provence and some small stars are out.
well you get the drift !!!!!!  i love to use sago as part of soapmaking.
it is revenge for all those years of being forced to eat it as a child :-)

===========================================

there are only a couple of the vanilla ones left
and this is the last of my supply of that particular fragrance 

this first soap is Provence, a favourite of mine from Scent-works.
clean and fresh as always
done this time with a insert of blue with gold mica dusting


this a special soap for those who like pale and pretty with no fragrance.
people like me for example :-)



the next on is the one that sends me totally wild ..........
Vanigilia de madagascar.it reminds me of
a spiced up version of vanilla and chocolate. it  comes out
a dark glossy choc colour. Scary how tempting it is .:-)

 

.this  is of a  soap that  is a mix of a couple of Scent-works floraly fragrances
and made pretty pale with chunks



and just for perspective here is a pic of a plain all olive oil soap being blended
by the trusty stick blender. it has no colour or fragrance and will,
when finished, be virtually all white in colour
this pic is a bit dark but the oil is more off white than anything else at this stage
