Purple Molly asked ...."How much honey did you add in? I'd love to try that but I scare easily!!!

Answer:- Me too ,l know you can add up to 2 tablespoons to 1lb of soap base but l only added 1 just in case it made it sticky.I have made a great biscuit base for my cake slices that looks like real biscuit crust ,l just added some brown sugar to my base and it worked a treat and it still lathers up well.
I tried to crop the picture down to get a good view of the lemon slice with the base showing but it doesn't show it up enough.




Snowxwhitex:-Quality does differ considerably l started off with the cheaper base but l now buy the Brambleberries soap base from Aussie soap supplies.Its about $16-$17 a kg but l get the Low Sweat Coconut natural base which we need over in Victoria with our high humidity in the summer and once you have used the Brambleberrie base you won't want to go back to the cheaper versions,you can really feel the difference on your skin because l can only get Opaque low sweat from Aussie Soap Supplies l have to buy my clear from another source which is Sounds Creative on Ebay http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll ... K:MEWAX:it isn't as good as the Brambleberries but since Aussie Soap Supplies don't stock a low sweat clear l have to go elsewhere and as you will see its a lot cheaper.

Wow, pops1, the Tutti Fruitti and OMH honeycomb soaps look great! Very nice!

OceanofBubbles, here's a thread about using bubblewrap in M&P soap that might be helpful: viewtopic.php?f=6&t=2962

I made my very first light box over the week-end and it took a long time. I made mine out of a box, white felt and white bristol board.

Cherry Blossom M&P, each one of these is different as I used different patterns (click to see bigger size):



Vanilla Musk M&P (click to see bigger size):

I like the Cherry Blossom one!

I like my soaps simple. I made soap molds, and cut them like you would CP soaps. When I came up with my recipes, I had my kind of skin in mind. I have suffered my entire life with extremely dry, sensitive skin with dermatitis. With that in mind, I began my soaping.

I sent samples all over the USA with surveys that could be answered anonymous online. The results were fantastic, so I am now setting myself up to sell them. I've worked hard at keeping them simple and natural in look. I don't add any colorants, and the bar colors come from the natural ingredients added.

This isn't really a photo is it? More like a two + minute commercial, but perhaps that's just me. I was looking for a photo nothing more.

I would suggest if you do this type of thing you add some music otherwise people loose interest. Again my opinion and not a middle of the road one is my guess. Your packaging is nice and that is another thread going for those.
