Christmas soaps - Snowflakes


I am absolutely facinated by snowflakes. I have never actually seen them and it doesn't matter if I travel to Mount Everest, I know on the day I arrive it would be a lovely sunny day with snow everywhere. So this is probably the closest I will come to seeing a snowflake with it's lovely crystalline shape. I have kept all the snowflake white but I like the transparent blue which gives a cool feel to the snowflakes. I have also added cosmetic glitter to make it more festive.

Mini Cupcakes


It"s simply was not enough making life size cupcakes, I had to make a guest size version. Don't want anyone to feel left out. They are around 45gms. Equally as adorable and so much fun to make. Love, love cupcakes, big or small.
Now in the mist of making these mini cupcakes soap, I suddenly realised that they were getting bigger with each batch. This cupcake (photographed on its own) topped the batch, reaching 75gms in weight. The weight and size definitely falls into the "grey area" of classifying it as a guest soap or a normal size soap. If anyone is interest in the extra large mini cupcakes, please let me know.

Halloween Soaps

Halloween is coming and I wanted to put up these new pumpkin and acorn soaps. I love the smell of the pumpkin, soft vanilla, slightly nutty and a tiny hint of spice, simply yummy! I have scented the acorn with 'nutcracker' and they smell equally festive. The pumpkin is also nice to use in your guest toilet during Chinese New Year, minus the pumpkin face. I try to make soap for every room, every occassion and hopefully there is something for everyone in Soaping Paradise.

Pebbles


I thought what a great way to add that finishing touch to a perfect bathrooom. A vase filled with pebbles! Then I thought (in my mind filled with soaps of the past, of soaps of the present and of soaps to come), I could make these pebbles into soap pebbles and that would make it perfect. Something to display and is functional at the same time. Throw in a few real pebbles at the base of the vase and spread a few soap pebbles on top, I promise you, no one could tell the difference. Just watch the look on your guest faces when they ask you for soap and you point to a pebble. This humble pebble will definitely be a conversational piece, just make sure it doesn't over shadow your dinner conversation. If anyone is holding a dinner party for halloween, this pebbles will definitly be both a treat and trick.
