My seventh attempt at a Snowflake Soap

Sometimes I wonder if I am determined or simply stubborn when it comes to certain projects. I do value time, so I usually give up when I feel I am wasting it and nothing seems to be working out. After all, I did abandon a Christmas tree pull screen idea after three or four failed… Continue reading My seventh attempt at a Snowflake Soap

Gingerbread House Soap

This could be the most impractical soap I have done, but I had to do it. After doing this gingerbread house soap and this other one, I finally had to tackle this idea at last. I currently have one of these bars on the sink counter as an aromatic Christmas decoration. My husband has told… Continue reading Gingerbread House Soap

Embellishing Soap

When a soap does not turn out as expected, I usually end up embellishing it. Lately I have had a lot of soap design fails, especially when experimenting with pull screen discs. So I have gotten to practice my post decorating skills a lot. It is actually very easy. Especially if you have soap dough… Continue reading Embellishing Soap

Gingerbread man soap

The place was a palace in England. The year? anywhere between 1543 and 1603. The request? "You shall make biscuits that look like my guests, so that they shall eat their own likeness at the party". At least this is what I imagine Queen Elizabeth I told her head chef. I can also picture the… Continue reading Gingerbread man soap

Memories Soap Collaboration

This has probably been the most difficult soap for me to make. Not because of the technique (though it was time consuming) or the amount of colors I used (Seven!), but because it forced me to revisit a memory that causes deep pain still, and that is the loss of our dog Queenie, she was… Continue reading Memories Soap Collaboration

Koala Soaps

In last week video (the design fail) I sneaked a koala embed with a Santa hat. He was originally part of this Koala soap loaf but there was not room for him there. (I like to make extras just in case). So here is the rest of the gang. This soap is scented with a… Continue reading Koala Soaps

Snowflake and Snowmen Soap

If you are thinking that orange is not a traditional Christmas color, you would be absolutely right! These soaps were supposed to be penguin theme soaps (and the orange was for their beak and feet). However, things did not go as planned and I ended up making a snowfake soap and some snowmen soap instead.… Continue reading Snowflake and Snowmen Soap

Pine Tree TP Divider Swirl Soap

I am really happy about how this soap turned out! Especially after a failed attempt at this idea. When I participated in the ghost swirl challenge last month, I decided to make a second soap for the bonus category (in it, colorants could be used). Because I thought I could try this pine tree swirl… Continue reading Pine Tree TP Divider Swirl Soap

Pumpkin Coffee Soap

I am not a coffee drinker (I have tried to become one, but to no avail). However, I like making coffee soap. And this is the first time I am blending the Coffee Beans fragrance with Vanilla and Spice, to make it a sort of fall theme soap. I usually do not make fall themed… Continue reading Pumpkin Coffee Soap
