Color-wise, this soap could be suitable for both Fall and Winter/Christmas - red/green/gold colors and to make it really special it is scented with a mix of Apple Bourbon and Kentucky bourbon scents!  The top of the bar is swirled with the above-mentioned colors and the addition of dried cranberry seeds as well!

Getting started on Fall and Holiday soaps is my happy time!  So many ideas and sometimes not enough time but I am getting there!  

We moved in April and spent a good amount of time and more setting up my "soaping area" which has ended up being stored in a nice den off the kitchen/living room and my old standby art table in the same area of the kitchen/living room.  

I am truly in my happy space now and will be creating more soap and art in the years to come!

Hope you all have a wonderful Fall, Christmas, New Year and rest of the year and on and on and on!

I have been wanting to add a slice of orange to a soap for a while and it was fun to make it happen.  It is a spicy cinnamon scented soap and the two colors are wonderful.  I hand sliced and dried the orange slice on each soap.  I also added dried cranberry seeds to the top of the soap.  I really liked the look of the orange slice and may be making a key lime pie soap and add a slice of lime on top!  Stay tuned!

This would be a lovely gift for that special someone you know who loves botanicals and spicy hand soaps and Christmas is coming!   

Hope you all have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

I love this title.  I found a fragrance oil of the same name and had to combine the two.  The soap has a total of 7 colors - colors of the rainbow - combined in a lovely muted fashion.  This has a lovely swirl to it and the colors just seem to blend in and out of the design.  

This was a technique I have been looking at and trying to figure out how best to do it and I did it!  Hope you like it!  

Christmas is almost upon us and this would make such a great gift for so many people and so many events.  

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to one and all.
