Busy With Soap

I have been busy for the past few days making soap for a Women's event here on the Isle of Lewis.  I was asked to make them to be added to a gift bag that each participant will receive.  I was thrilled to be asked.  The first batch I made was orange both in colour and scent.

Dried orange slices were added to the packaging for effect and tied up with natural twine.

They were soon packed up into a box...

Strawberry and apple was next on my agenda.  Thin layers were made into swirls using both apple and strawberry oil scent and a drop of red or green colouring. 

They were then packaged using cellophane  and embellished with a dried apple slice and a thin ribbon.

The last batch was lavender again with a swirl of colour going through the middle using a few drops of red and blue colouring and lavender oil.  A few dried lavender buds were added and then packaged up in cellophane.  This time embellished with a button and raffia.

Once again packed into a box ready for delivery.

A fun but very busy few days.

Thank you for all your comments on my previous post about Honeys coat, I am so excited to see her in it.  Only 11 more sleeps.  I used to sell my crafts but since moving don't bother as I seem to have enough to do working on the cottage and crafts for the family. 

See you soon.
