Seven Cactus is on tabloid Wanita Indonesia

It wasn't a feature interview, only an article about making a homemade soap. Did a tutorial of a simple oatmeal soap using only three oils (palm, coconut, olive), and it was fun!

Nevertheless, any publicity is good I reckon..

         

It's on the newest edition, with Agnes Monica on the cover (no: 1249 26 Dec-1 Jan). Get your copy now :)

Animal Mini Series

The inspiration came from this amazing guy...

First, I made the orange base, then cut with cookie cutters. I then made another batch which I colored with black oxide, and fill the cavities.

I must say, this technique was time consuming! If I ever want to do it again, I would prolly do it the other way around, that is I'll place the cuts in the mold and fill the surroundings.

I scent this one with a fun and fresh scent: yuzu

Before the orange and black soaps, I did this one to practice.. 

The soaps ended up with different sizes, LOL! I haven't yet mastered the art of cutting in thin slices, and it didn't help that I didn't have a proper cutter for this style of cutting. My cheese slicer can be so temperamental, I blamed it for the uneven soaps!

I would like to try and make this again someday..

New Eucalyptus Soap

I have abandoned this blog for quite a while, too busy soaping and being a lazy ass to blog and upload pics and such.

I am in love with the hanger swirl technique lately. I admit, at first, I was a nervous wreck, but I think it's normal when one is trying a new technique, right?

Okay, so here it is..

Just for fun, I put the mold at an elevated angle and poured each color. Then I swirled and messed with the top a bit for finishing touch. Colorants were green oxide, titanium dioxide, and for the lighter green I mixed some green oxide with a dash of cellini yellow oxide, and a bit of titanium dioxide as well.

Scent was eucalyptus eo. My mom has already booked a couple of bars for her personal use. She looooovveeee eucalyptus. 

Thanks for looking :)
