testing new picture set ups

I have the new digital camera that plugs into my lights so I am trying to figure out how I want my pictures to look then I am retaking them all. Testing just a few ideas right now, I have a few more set ups I haven't taken pictures of and I may redo these with a black background just to see that that looks like. Just thought I would let you see what I am working on at the moment....

Anyone have some favs so far?

My soap order from Bramble Berry arrived today so I am back in business on making melt and pour soaps. First up will be to fix that messed up batch that I cut tooooo early.

Coconut Lime Swirl

Sorry for no posts this week had a ton of stuff going on in my life this week and just didn't get around to soap making or blogging. Back on track today! I made the Basil Nectarine soap that won the poll, my colors were meh. I will try to post a picture of them on sunday. I had tossed back and forth on what colors to make it and I am not sure I hit on a good combo.

So batch 2 for the day was one I was really looking forward to trying out after watching The Soap Queen how to swirl video . So here is my attempt at the swirl she showed, still needs some tweaking but I was pretty pleased on how it came out. This is scented with Coconut and Lime with green and white mica's.

By the way is my new blog layout ok? or should I go back to the old one? get another new one?
