We finally had a bright day today so I took the opportunity to take some photographs outside – I’ve tried and tried to get decent pictures using my lightbox and artificial lighting but each time I fail miserably so it’s natural light all the way for me from now on! (This could prove problematic in a North of England winter but I’m nothing if not an optimist 🙂 )
I recently tried something a little different – I’ve seen some beautiful drop swirl soaps on Pinterest, most notably by Tree Frog Soaps and Celine at I Am Handmade, and decided to give it a go. Celine very generously shares her methods on YouTube here so I spent a few happy hours watching soaping videos before I felt ready to make my attempts. Here are the first two:
I’ve also been experimenting with creating my own essential oil fragrance blends. Neither of these soaps have names yet, but the first one is fragranced with a lovely blend of Rose Geranium, Clary Sage and Lemon essential oils, and the second is fragranced with a totally delicious blend of Aniseed and Orange essential oils.
Both soaps look gorgeous!!!
Thanks Silvia – I think I’ll be making more of these 😀
Love them both, but the 1st one is gorgeous, Vicki!
Thanks Natalia – I thought I might have poured too much of the coloured portion but I’m actually really happy with the result :0)
Those are gorgeous drop swirls, and I love the sound of your EO blends…heavenly!
Thanks Cee – I’m loving experimenting with EOs as well as using tried and tested blends…
Lovely swirls! My personal fave is the green one. Perfect amount of swirls, perfect placement.. just puuuuurrrrrr-feeeecccttttt
Thanks – I think the green one is my favourite so far too!
