Poppy & James Soaps

Black rose restock 30 new bars 🌹

It's not terrible, but definitely not the swirl I was going for. Upside....it's blue not green!

Next time lighter oils, so I can use less blue to achieve the powder blue I was going for. Soap quicker. I should have committed to a different swirl, I knew the butterfly wasn't going to work, I should have moved it more. You live and learn! 😬

I love them!!

They're exactly as I wanted them. 💜

The first 2 of 4 done.

Not convinced with the swirl or colour in the blue. I was trying to go pastilles. The blue looked more green. My own fault they're 40% tallow. Yellow oils 😳 but I just rolled with it. So maybe more green than blue. The scent accelerated slightly, I was hoping for a butterfly swirl, but I may end up with a blob swirl 🤣 all good you live and learn. I love, love love the tops though. Everything I was going for.

Lilac & lavender (purple)

Friseeia, peony, and rose. 😋 (blue, maybe green 🤣) 🤞

It's a busy soapy day. I'll be making a new range. 🤞 "pastilles" soft powder blues, pink, mint, silver and lilac. 🩵🩷💚💜 and a sprinkle of fairy dust.

Think whimsical, think ethereal, fairies in the forest. I'll be using earthy, floral scents.

With combinations of - Lilac, wood sage, sea salt, Bulgarian rose, sandlewood, freesia and sweet pea. Keep an eye out today 👀 for some pretty new soaps. I'm just a tad excited. I usually use bold contrasting colour's... this will be new and a challenge for me.

This smells so good.

Not what I was hoping for. But I knew that I think. The colour's were too similar to make a contrasting impact. So I think I'm going to try again. It's there but not. If you no what i mean. I know what I did wrong. The batter wasn't thick enough. Causes it to mud into the base colour. That's OK. I love the lilac colour, I love the concept of the design. It's just not quite there. 💜

"Lulu"

I really enjoyed making confetti topped soap yesterday I had to slip another in. Scented with black raspberry & vanilla. Smells delishhhhh

Not so confident on the swirl though. I feel like it maybe a muddy mess hopefully not! 🤞 I used a different brand of oil, and I didn't like it. Topped with curls , shavings and pearl mica. For a little bling.

I love that this looks almost jigsaw puzzlish....maybe. I like the rough lines.
Scented with wild frangipani. I'm unsure as what to call this one. 🤔

It's so pretty. I've been wanting to do an all rose scented soap for a while. This turned out just as I wanted it too. It smells devine. 🌹

"Victorian Rose"

I haven't made confetti topped soap for a while. So that was the plan for today.

The left scented with Victorian Rose & the right with wild frangipani. I'm not sure which one I love the scent of the most.
