soap of the day

Posted on | July 21, 2007 | 1 Comment

i treated myself to some creative fun today.

soapmaking has been very slow around here (illness and injury) and we’ve been pretty much focussed on just catching up with regular stuff….no time for frivolity!
however, i had some organic biodynamic yoghurt from mungalli creek dairy and i made a seriously citrus blend with five-fold tangerine, five-fold orange, lemon, petitgrain, lime, vetiver, and a hint of mint.
this made a richly orangey base, that i helped with some oxides.
i blobbed bright white through that, then layered on a creamy topping with calendula and green tea to finish.
i cannot wait to cut it and take photos!

the rest of the session was hard slog, with a total of 1500 bars being made.
the shelves are slowly being replenished, and it’s a fine sight.
more of the same tomorrow!
