Crafty1_AJ Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 Since it's been far too long since I've tortured you all with my horrible photography, here are some recent soaps. Thank you for not gagging. This one is Hawaiian Lei Flowers. Someone told me it didn't accelerate on her, so I figured I'd have time for a nice, fluid double swirl in pink and yellow. Wrong. Would you believe ... a nice thick ropy swirl? (Said in my best Maxwell Smart voice. )These are some fall soaps I make every year. Because I like to use a warm, rich fall color palette, I make most of them solid colors and just give the tops some texture. Left is Orange-Patchouli eo soap. Back is Pumpkin Spice with some mica sprinkled on top for the "spice" effect. Right is Spiced Apples & Peaches, which actually is mostly a peachy color, but with some darker rusty-red marbling (although you can't tell from this pic). In the front is Apple Jack, which I make a deep wine / burgundy color. I use mostly oxides for my fall soaps since the rustic warm colors are perfect to achieve the rich autumn colors I want.Lastly, these are just some restocks I needed to make. In my ongoing campaign to Embrace the Ash (also known as the "I Don't Give a Rat's Ash About ASH!" promotion), you'll see I've let it do its thing. I think it gives an interesting texture / look. Then again, I could be delirious. Left to right: Blackberry Sage; Dusty Lilac (sprinkled w/ mica); Love Spell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swamp_deb Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 Love your Fall colors AJ. I have a few ropy swirls too, yours turned out great.Ash happens, if you don't explain it to customers, they just think it is some kind of weird top you put on there.

Scented Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 Heck of a load there! BTW the ASH on the Love Spell makes it just that much more magical. Now I've learned to just cut off mine lol. I haven't bonded with the ash And I'm crying over here because I LOVE PATCH AND ORANGE, especially in EOs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
