new soaps 08
Posted on | January 14, 2008 | No Comments
it’s that thrilling time of year again: the time to start pulling together a year of musing on groovy evocative soap names and essential oil blends and new “looks” and new ingredients, for release of my 08 line-up on april 1st.
this year, i’ve gone madly into watery sprites and critters from far-flung cultures and worked up some slyly relevant blends and looks, with the odd reference and nod to traditions.
this is mostly for my own amusement and if other people “get” my little soapy games, then that is fun, and if they don’t…then they will still be getting some original & divine soaps that they won’t see anywhere else.
pulling all this together is a really deeply enjoyable part of my work….i get such a kick out of designing new soaps.
at the same time, i know i am killing off some soaps that people have come to really embrace, so i am very conscious of replacing them with things that are different and thrilling and will pique the interest of my discerning army of bathing beauties.
i want to do confetti soaps this year, but rather than my current “random” confetti, i’ll be doing some bars with a more structured, “composed” look.
this quite a new look for us.
there is some very exciting new equipment on it’s way from europe right now, that will enable us to create the confetti in large volume.
watch this space for more.
