Yes, I'm still making handmade soap, and it's time to share some more of my creations with the world. :-) So be warned, there are lots of clean pictures underneath the cut!
Macchiato
An unscented, layered coffee soap. The middle layer is uncolored, the bottom layer features coffee grounds.
Clean Cucumber
This one smells like cucumber. No, really. :-)
Gingko Zing
Features a fresh, lemony scent that's called "Gingko Lime". I don't actually know what gingko smells like, but this, I like.
Fall in Color
Fall-themed soap tartlets with flowery scents.
Pomegranate Stars
These gold and red stars are scented with a gothy pomegranate fragrance that really calls for a more dramatic presentation, preferably with eyeliner, and lots of black lace and velvet. Next time!
Magi
Now this one does look dramatic. It's scented with incense and myrrh; the black part is colored with coal and contains powdered incense and the merest hint of gold glitter.
Dropkick Lavender
I really love how this lavender soap turned out, so have another picture. :-)
Honey Honey
A honey soap, as the name implies. :-) Note the honeycomb pattern on the bottom!
Icebreaker
This soap is supposed to look like the arctic ocean, with ice floes breaking apart on top and little snowflakes and jagged shards of ice at the bottom.
Lily in Snow
A lily of the valley soap.
Stars of Zanzibar
Christmassy look and scent...
Autumn Leaves
Small leaf-shaped soaps.
Blue Rose
Because rose-scented soaps don't always have to be red.
Rose Red
They can be, though. ;-)
Citrus Deluxe
This looks a lot like one of my earlier soaps, but I love the shade of orange. So.
The last soap requires a bit of background. See, many, many years ago, a comedian named Otto made a bunch of skits. Some of them were genuinely funny; others were funny for the WTF?!? factor. In one of his most definitely WTF?!?-moments, Otto made a mock advertisement for the soap "Keili" (meaning, essentially, "wedgie").
And I, in one of my own WTF?!? moments, have made that soap.
Keili
If you want to check out the Otto skit that spawned this soap,
you can download it here... but be warned, it really is very WTF?!?ish. In the meantime, enjoy the full photoshopped glory:
As always, alternate soap names, soap inspiration, screams of horror, and pre-orders are welcome. ;-)
