New Soap Design

New striped soap design on the curing rack!

Here is a sample of my newest soap design.  Angled stripes of blue, pink, yellow, green, purple and burgundy in in ivory base with a coordinating swirled top.  Scented with a beautiful Hawaiian Hibiscus fragrance that also has notes of lavender, sweet violet and citrus.  Light and fresh and oh so nice.  This soap is now curing and will be ready for sale and use in about 4 - 6 weeks - just in time for spring!

Tutorial - Grated Soap Embeds for Cold Process

Recently, I had a few extra bars of soap lying around that I really did not know what to do with.  I came across this tutorial from the Otion blog and loved the look of the shredded soap embeds.   This tutorial used melt and pour as the base but I did not want to combine my bars of cold process into melt and pour so I decided to use part of that tutorial to create the soaps below - all in cold process.  This was a great place to start, but I made several modifications along the way that I will share here.  Please note that this is not a beginner tutorial.
