Most beautiful soap mold

I found this most incredible Lavender soap mold about a month ago. I have a lot of people who come to the Tigard Farmers' Market booth asking for Lavender soap. While I have a few other soap molds, this one is my favorite. I love Lavender, anyway, so having a lovely, unusual mold for the glycerin soap is extra special.

I use therapeutic grade essential oils with a kosher, organic base.

Wonderful, unusual combination

In working the Tigard Farmers' Market every Sunday, I have found it important to bring out different soap designs and essential oil combinations to keep the customers coming. This past weekend, I combined almond and spearmint together for a very rich soap.

One of the customers ordered 3 Rosemary-Peppermint soaps for next weekend. That works well. Try it!

Want to learn how to make soap? I will be teaching a class through PCC on Saturday, June 19th.

It is called Melt and Pour 101.

Prefer a more personal class? I can bring the class to you. Just email me for details:

One Pine Cone Herbal Soap Design

One of the newest to my collection is the One Pine Cone Herbal Soap Design. There are choices of one, two and four pine cones, but my favorite has to be this one. I used therapeutic grade essential oils of myrrh with my own blend of forest scents. It is very rich and earthy, perfect for the winter months.

Oregon Swallowtail Butterfly Soap

While making a butterfly soap, I decided to experiment and by accident, came up with something amazing. Earlier this summer, an Oregon Swallowtail butterfly came to visit me in the yard. (See my earlier blog.) I tried to copy it and although the original did not turn it, this soap looks far better than I ever imagined.

Using 7 different types of Lavender

Lavender was a virtual medicine cabinet. It helps to relieve burns, cuts, and itching and it promotes slumber. I dried 7 different types of Lavendula Angustifolia from my garden and created this Lavender Lifesaver soap using a glycerin base.
