Hi all..

The cold process soapy adventures continue...

Torsten is madly making soap moulds as we speak!! He's such a good boy... love him to bits!!!!!
This morning I unveiled my 1st 100% pure castile soap... its uncoloured, unscented and 100% olive oil... the only ingredient. My son has grown up with severe exma so I have spent a life time looking for completely natural soaps etc... so, Ive decided to make my own. I know heaps of people who are on the same quest for the all natural alternative... stay tuned as all my soaps will be for sale once cured...

As for the coloured alternative... these are all my latest.... once again, all natural ingredients and skin safe fragrances and colours... the hard bit is 'no peaking' for at least 24 hours after the soaps are poured.... and waiting 4 - 6 weeks for the soap to cure...

The 1st one is CK1 'Type'... one for the boys with tiny clay beads for a bit of exfoliating...
The next one is Kumquat fragrance... this one smells great...
The next one is Lime Cooler... with some blue clay beads added in the top layer..
Last but not least is Monkey Farts... love, love, love this fragrance...






I am eventually hoping to have some cool gift packs using soap & candles in the same fragrances in time for Xmas... or have them to purchase separate if needed for stocking fillers... stay tuned...

Well, time to check on the 'mould maker'... see if he needs a cuppa...

Chat soon...

Hi Fellow Crafties..

Well, its been a while since my last blog... between work and play, there has simply been no free time.. my paper addiction has had to take a back seat for a while to make way for a few soapy creations. I am testing a few melt and pour bases for quick and easy soaps to put into pamper packs ready for the 'silly season'  (stay tuned... coming soon!)

The latest ones I have tried are Honey (the transparent one) and Mango Butter.. Yummmmm!!!!!
I fragranced the Mango with Sweetpea & Vanilla... can't wait to try that one. The Honey soap was fragranced with Twilight Woods Fragrance... a nice unisex fragrance. Love this one!!



These look a bit ordinary... just testing still at this stage, finding the yummiest bases out there!  I'm looking at using log moulds and making swirls etc... nice...

Well, I have a bit more to share so I had betta get a move on...

Hi all..

just wanted to keep you filled in on the latest instalment of 'My Soapy Adventures'...

well... I just had a lovely delivery yesterday of some new fragrant oils... yayyyy... as usual when I get new oils, I couldn't sniff quick enough... they were YUMMM!!! I am trying oils from Sweetcakes (nice name) & Leispa. The 1st one I soaped with the new oils was Juicy Pear... I simply had to try them straight away! This one smelt great but accelerated the 'trace' of the soap...  for those non-soapers at home... this meant the soap went thick extremely fast!! So much for lovely swirls.... just had to 'glob' it into the mould! It still looked pretty cool considering. Gotta love a 'rustic' soap! Can't wait to unmould this one...
The waiting game is the hardest. I can't look for at least 24 hours... 'NO PEEKING!'

The soap above is 'Lime Cooler'.. the little speckles are tea leaves for a slightly 'scrubby' soap...
& the one below is 'Green Tea & Lemongrass'... I know.. the tea leaves probably should have been in this one but I was wanting to add the Bentonite Clay Beads... these are awesome tiny little clay beads that exfoliate...


Waiting, waiting, waiting...

once a week these little babies are being flipped to even out the drying... mmm... should have taken the photo with their pretty little heads facing up.... oh well... you get to see the sides...
This lot will be ready in 2 more weeks and will be available for sale... I will post all the soaps as they are cured on my Wild Wicks Blogspot...

....waiting.... (I'm not very patient!!!)
Still, I'm having fun... Isn't that what life is all about??? Try something new...

Till next time,

Luv Deb x
