Soap for a bridal shower

Version 1 was the peacock themed soap posted down a few.  This is the final version that is more Aloha style which is the theme for the bridal shower today.  The scent is Love Spell type and it has a custom label.  The bride doesn't know one of her engagement pictures is on the label(surprise from her mom).  I think they came out pretty cute. 

 Below pictures are of the bars before they were cut into half bars.

Rainbow Sherbet didn't come out too great

So I totally forgot to put the stabilizer in this soap so it wouldn't turn brown.  This one should be all about the pretty rainbow colors but you can't see them as good as I would have liked due to the brown.  Oh well still smells great and you better believe I won't make that mistake again!

I have a custom order in for a bridal shower and they were looking for peacock themed soap because that is theme for the wedding.  I was pretty pleased with how this test batch came out.  They ended up deciding to do a aloha themed shower instead and I have the final batches with a different set of colors that I will post in a few more days.

So the good news is I will get to sell these ones!!  They are scented in Lovespell type.

Slacking on the posting

I know I am slacking on the posts again.  I have been busy trying to get everything ready for the craft show this weekend.  I haven't gotten a chance to get the photo area set back up for taking soap pictures but should be able to get some time to work on those next week. 

My cat also had a stroke last weekend so I have been trying to take care of him.  He is doing better now but still has a long way to go.

I did get a new craft show banner to go with my photography which I will also be selling in my booth this weekend.  Matt at http://signshopltd.com did a really nice job on it.

Rainbow Sherbet soap

In the mold

Summer Medley soap is taking a slight change. It will look the same but now be scented with Rainbow Sherbet. Everyone always thought Summer Medley smelled like Rainbow Sherbet so I am just making it official now.

I am feeling the push for the start of craft show season. First show is May 5-6 which is just around the corner. I have to get stocked up on bath bombs and cupcake soaps. Also need to work on making new signs for the year.

I am going to start selling my photography for the first time at this craft show so I also have a million things to work on for that. I am starting small and just doing a display rack to sit in front of the booth. Been spending my evenings putting photographs in mats and I do have to say it is nice to see everything all put together.

I will be working on a big custom soap order for a bridal shower in the next few days. Going to attempt to get peacock colors so stay tuned for how those come out.
