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..

photos that son took that i rather like...all taken at 34,000 feet with a cheap digital

he has returned last week with a huge loss of hearing that is preventing him working.
hopefully that will resolve in a a couple of weeks. It is due to ear trauma from ascent and descant with a cold, on the last legs of the trip. He cant afford to have bad stuff happen to his damaged ears

he learned much, saw a lot of graves, was more touched by Gallipoli than France and Belgium despite the untold thousands of graves there (pics to follow later)
Home looks good to him right now.:-)

a soap with sunflower oil for a change, with a sweet honeyish fragrance

While I was shopping yesterday the sunflower oil called out to me.
It would be about 6 years since i have used it so I decided to have a go again and made up a receipe that i figured i would like

It has turned out pretty well ...even tho the photo is too dark.

I have much to learn about photograpy and need to get to a group/list that will deal with less experienced photographers. Seems hard to find

The embeds in the soap are the remainders of some soap i tried that is meant to float. ....well i think that was the purpose of it.!!! Very strange looking soap, but it came out in beautiful colours that i love... and so i have used it for embeds in a few batches now

Something with meaning for some

Today i remembered that i had this sitting right here where i nearly walk on it multiple times a day.

I post it for those I know for whom it has meaning...you know who you are!!

It was painted in a kids playgroup 2 years ago by my adult son... who was bored with helping me at the markets selling soap

thanks son!!
