Cherub

I finally got to use my new big mould. I made an unscented batch because I've never worked with such a large amount of soap before. Even though there's no fragrance I really enjoyed making this. It was going to be plain white/cream coloured but I added some pink and silver glitter at the last minute. I cut it as soon as I woke up this morning so no cutting video today but I took lots of pictures ^_^ I thought I'd name this Cherub and use this design in the future not sure which fragrance I'd use for this though. Any suggestions? :)

Custom Moulds!

Here they are, my new custom made moulds! Wow I am so happy hehe :D They took a long time to make, almost a whole day, the daylight was almost gone by the time they were finished. Although I think most of the time it was just us planning, calculating and perfecting them ^_^ A family friend made them for me and made them to my exact requirements, I feel so lucky to have someone so talented to do this for me. The large one holds a little over 6lbs and the small one holds a little over 2lbs. I asked for them to be a little over so that I'd have the exact amount of bars I wanted with the two end bars as extras. I'm planning on painting these moulds to really make them my own and have been working on some designs this evening. These are sort of prototypes if these work well I'll get 2 more made exactly the same, if not we'll tweak the design a little bit and have 2 different ones. I'm planning on making my first large batch of CP soap in the big mould tomorrow if I get the time. It will also be my first try at a beer soap ^_^


I know I promised liquid soap but I made my 3rd batch of it today and it has still turned out cloudy. I'm at the end of my tether with perfecting this liquid soap hehe. It soaps beautifully I just wish I could get the aesthetics right. I also promised body butters but I had some very unexpected news (good news) on Wednesday so things are quite far behind as priorities have all jumped places.

So hopefully beer soap and body butters tomorrow, liquid soap if I am uber efficient with my time hehe :-P

Ickle Update

I've been real quiet while I've been experimenting with my liquid soap mainly because there hasn't been much success hehe. Tomorrow I will be making another batch of liquid soap and a batch of body butters and hopefully posting with some photos.

My good friend came to see me and I gave her a bag with a selection of my products and she seems to be really pleased, yay! ^_^ Also someone who I had given some soaps to before has asked to buy my soaps which was totally out of the blue. I won't take any money but will give them the soaps they asked for as a gift. It was totally out of the blue and I'm so happy to know that someone thinks my soaps are worth paying for. I want to thank them and my friend for being so supportive on my soaping venture!

One last piece of news, this Saturday I will be having some custom soap molds made for me and I am so excited and can't wait. So hopefully quite a few updates over the next weeks, hope you're doing well too fellow soap lovers.
