I have long been drawn to cobalt blue glassware.  I had some wooden Mason jar ornament cut outs and put the two ideas together and came up with a cobalt blue Mason jar for each of the four seasons.  This was a fun project and hopefully you will enjoy it too!

This is my original design.  This piece was published in Painting E-Zine in January of 2018.

Happy Painting!

I first came across this Scottish nighttime prayer in a very small gift shop near Seattle, Washington and it stuck with me for all these many years.  It was a small piece of wood with lots of decoratively painted flowers on it.  I was in IKEA recently and saw these wonderful square mirrors and immediately thought of the saying with a painted night scene, a candle in the window of a red house, plenty of stars and plenty of fireflies in the tree tops.  I thought it would be especially sweet in a child’s room but I could see it in any room.  Of course, there is always a "Halloween angle" to this as well (ghosts, ghouls, oh my!). This is an original design.

Happy Painting!

This soap looks like a folded leaf...seriously!  It has a melt and pour base, Wild Current Sandalwood Fragrance oil, ecological gold glitter sprinkled on top and colored with a mix of two greens to get this wonderful shade!  It weighs 4.2 ounces.  All of my melt and pour soaps are shrink wrapped to keep them sealed until used.  I have tested all the soaps and all are wonderful!  As I stated on the back of the soap, all of my soaps are made with LOTS OF LOVE!  

Each of this soap is being sold for $6.00.

Oh my, this is such a bright and wonderful clear and colorful soap.  The clear base is a cobalt blue.  Birds and Fish are "embossed" into the design on top.  Made from a clear melt and pour soap base, colored with a cobalt blue color agent, scented with Blue Lotus Spa fragrance oil and made with LOTS OF LOVE!  The soap bar weighs approximately 4.2 ounces and is hermetically sealed in a shrink wrapper.  

Each bar of this soap is $6.00.

This was one of my first attempts at swirling soap and I think I lucked out!  This is a clear aqua soap and the swirls are violet and a bit of pearly white.  This soap is made of clear melt and pour soap base with a blue ecological glitter. The colors are aqua, pearly white and violet and french lavender essential oil is the scenting agent.  Of course, LOTS OF LOVE is always there!  The soap bar weighs 4.8 ounces.

Each bar of soap is $6.00

Okay, here is a soap that could be used by anyone who loves to fish!  It is a clear base melt and pour soap with aloe vera, olive oil and lemon essential oils as well as poppy seeds.  This is definitely a larger soap bar!  Each bar is also made with LOTS OF LOVE!  The bar weighs 5.7 ounces and is hermetically sealed.

Each bar of this soap is $6.00.

I must admit, I love bees and what they do for us!  I have been known to paint them and to make them out of clay.  I also was captured by this very wonderfully design.  This bar is made of detergent free shea butter melt and pour base with Pure Honey fragrance oil, caramel-colored mica coloring as well as LOTS OF LOVE!  Each bar has been hermetically sealed.  This bar weighs 3.5 ounces.

 There definitely was something about this design that grabbed my attention.  I remember reading my children Mother Goose Nursery Rhymes.  That was a long time and then the grandchildren came along and I read them the same stories!  Anyway, Spring is almost upon us and this goose is special!  She is made from detergent free shea butter melt and pour base with blue ecological glitter as well as a spicy cranberry fragrance oil and LOTS OF LOVE!  This soap bar is hermetically sealed and the bar weighs 3.8 ounces.

Such an interesting soap this is!  The soap is poured over the slice of loofah.  This provides a bit of an abrasive especially great your heels!  I used two colors for the soap - one is more red than orange and the other is more orange than red!  They both rest on a green base.  The really cool thing about this soap is that it is scented with a tomato fragrance oil along with the usual detergent free clear soap, two red colorants along the chromium oxide green coloring a slice of luffa.  This is also made with LOTS OF LOVE!  It is a weighty bar of 5 ounces and has been hermetically sealed for freshness.

This is one of my favorite soaps.  The folded leaf mold I used surpasses all the rest!  The black color seems to really emphasize the leaf so well.  To make it a little better I added an ecological glitter that almost makes it look as if Jack Frost came to visit!  This is made with detergent free aloe and olive oil clear melt and pour soap base, a currant and sandalwood fragrance oil, ecological glitter, black mica soap block and LOTS OF LOVE! The scent of this soap is so wonderful!  This bar is hermetically sealed for freshness and weighs 4.5 ounces.

This soap is being sold for $6.00 each.

I have found so many wonderful soap molds and this was absolutely one of the best!  I am a such a bee fan for all they do for us.  Sometimes I also seem to think of myself as a Queen Bee - can you relate?  Anyway, this soap is filled lots of ingredients..Sorbitol, Sodium Cocoate, Propylene Glycol, Sodium Stearate, Glycerin, Butyrospermum Parkil (Shea) Seed Butter, Titanium Dioxide, Pure Honey fragrance oil, butterscotch coloring agent and LOTS OF LOVE!  The soap is hermetically sealed and the bar weighs 4.1 ounces.

I chose this design not just because of St. Patrick's Day celebration in March, but because it is a stunning design.  The soap is white and then lightly glittered with gold ecological glitter.  The ingredients are:  detergent free shea butter melt and pour soap base, gold eco glitter, rosemary mint fragrance oil and LOTS OF LOVE! The soap bar weighs 5.9 ounces and is hermetically sealed to keep it fresh!

Each bar of soap is $6.00.

To me, this is a universal design and a lovely design it is!  This was my first choice of a color for this.  Since then, I have expanded to a blue gray soap (#22).  I chose a pale green for this first Tree of Life soap.  This is made with detergent free shea butter melt and pour soap base, Mystical Wood fragrance oil and baby grasshopper mica colorant and of course, LOTS OF LOVE!  The soap is hermetically sealed for freshness and the bar weighs 3.7 ounces.

This is an unusually shaped soap but it makes up for it by the glitter and wonderful scent!  It is made with detergent free shea butter melt and pour soap base and clear melt and pour soap base, Dragon's Blood fragrance oil, ecological holographic glitter, gray blue mica coloring and LOTS OF LOVE!  The soap is hermetically sealed and weighs 3.9 ounces.

The mold I used for this soap is spectacular - 3-D formed roses over the top of each soap!  I chose pale peach as the color and it did not disappoint!  The soap looks small until you take into consideration that it is quite a bit thicker than most other soaps. This soap is made of detergent free shea butter melt and pour soap, Sandalwood Rose fragrance oil (delightful scent), yellow and pink coloring and LOTS OF LOVE!  Each bar has been hermetically sealed and weighs 3.8 ounces.
