I have been making soap for years. I started out making our family's hand soap and have been making hand soap to sell in shops and online as well. I love making soap! I love trying different techniques, different swirl designs and have recently added in making soap dough and then crafting items to embellish my soap with the soap dough.
The leaves and sunflower is made of soap dough.
This should come as no surprise to anyone but I love sunflowers! I chose The Sunflower Cupboard as the name of my business and I have painted many many items with sunflowers! Also, when I had a garden, I planted lots of sunflowers!
I wanted to make the soap a little extra special so I created a sunflower and leaf out of soap dough which I also made.
It is scented with Vetiver fragrance oil, which is a complex scent and just lovely!
This soap would be a wonderful gift for a gardener (novice or expert) or of course anyone who just loves sunflowers, teachers, coworkers, family members....they sky is the limit!!
I live in an apartment now and get compliments on how nice it is to go past my door and enjoy whiffs of whatever soap I have just made and of course, my apartment always is delightfully scented!
