I just received a new mica colorant, called Ectoplasm, and I just love it and could not wait to make some soap with it.  It is a rich turquoise/aqua blue.  I did not want to do just a plain soap bar but I thought a jagged pencil line near the midline would look great.  To me it would be like a finding a vein of copper or gold.  The sparkly copper mica I have was my first choice.   The pencil line looks dark in the photo but it is clearly a shiny copper line! I hope you like my choice!  I left the top of the soap really jagged.  

These bars are made with top quality ingredients. The ingredients used were olive oil, coconut oil, shea butter, sodium hydroxide, distilled water, mica colorants used were Ectoplasm and Copper Sparkle.  The scent i used was Honey Patchouli fragrance oil and these soap bars are made with LOTS OF LOVE!

Average weight of each soap bar is 4.7 ounces.

Shipping charges are per bar of soap.

Feel free to come back and visit me anytime as new soaps and products will be added from time to time.

Conversation heart candies....do they even still exist?  So much fun to pass them along to your friends with such cute sayings as Love, Be Mine and many many more.  

I found a mold for the tiny hearts (about the same size as the candy version) and made a bucket full in all the colors as I remembered them.  These were made with melt and pour soap base and colored appropriately and scented them with Black Raspberry and Vanilla fragrance oil.  I then found an appropriately good soap bar size mold and a very clear soap base and I let the fun begin!  They really are unique and as you wash your hands, new colors will be shown.

Average weight of each soap bar is 5 ounces.

Shipping charges are per soap bar

Please note....this is a Melt and Pour soap but I have chosen to group this in with my Cold Process soaps as I will eventually be grouping these all together.  I basically just wanted to be able to present these to all of you before Valentine's Day! 

Oh my goodness...this is a very special coffee soap - it is a hazelnut scented coffee soap and it is so delicious!  The swirl was just what I was hoping for and to top it all off, there are soap coffee beans and a little bit of biodegradable glitter on top!!

I bet you know someone who is a big coffee fan and maybe even a hazelnut coffee fan!

Each soap I make is infused with LOTS OF LOVE!

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!  

WELCOME TO MY WEBSITE!  This is a new addition to my Cold Process Hand Soap section of my shop!   Hmmm....an Easter Egg soap, that took some thinking.  The eggs were easy (made out of homemade soap dough) but what would the color of the base be?  I opted to a bluish lavender and then added some biodegradable glitter!  This soap is scented with Raspberry Jam fragrance oil and it is perfect!  

Naturally, this would be wonderful for an Easter gift or Spring gift, or any gift!

Please come back and visit often as new soaps are being made as I write!  I am a "small batch soap maker" and I love what I do!

Thanks for stopping by!

Oh, yes....this is definitely a bakery-inspired soap...carrot cake!  This was a fun piece to work on.  I created the carrots out of homemade soap dough (who knew there was such a thing?).  There is of course a layer of cream cheese frosting on top with a cake layer under that with little specks provided by vanilla bean powder.  The scent is Cinnamon as I always think of carrot cake as being not just yummy but a bit of a scent cinnamon as well.

Soap making has become a passion of mine, not just the many choices for scents but to expand on what soap can look like.  I do love the traditional looking soap but I do love a challenge!  I hope you do too!

Please do consider soap as a great gift opportunity especially as the Holiday Season is upon us - teacher gift, coworker gift, stocking stuffers....the list can go on!

Please stop by and visit with me often as I am adding soaps all year round especially now that I have unpacked and set up my craft storage room to include soap storage and curing.

Welcome to my Webpage and to my COLD PROCESS HAND SOAP section!

I have been making soap for about 10 years now.  I started out making our family's hand soap for years and have been making hand soap to sell in shops and online for a few years now.  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 soap dough. 

There is no soap dough with this particular soap.  Lavender soap is one of the "old standbys" for the scent alone.  I grew lavender in my garden and saved the lavender buds and thought I would add some buds to the soap as an extra bonus!

Giving soap as a gift is such a wonderful idea especially for a gardener you may know as well as a teacher gift, coworker gift, friend gift, stocking stuffer and the list goes on!

Thank you for stopping by and please check in periodically as new soap is added year round!

Winter and Christmas Season are coming soon!  I have been working on my Winter collection and this was one piece I loved designing and making!  

I wanted a red and white swirl design but also a topical design and chose green leaves and holly berries with an extra sprinkle of snow on top.  Not only does it look great but it smells wonderful!  The swirl is both bold and wispy!  This is sure to be a great gift (or a gift for you)!  

It really is versatile and lovely soap!

Please stop by when you can as I am adding new soaps often.

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

Nice to know that we know where twinkle twinkle little star is...It is right here in this soap.  No really, there are little eco-friendly stars embedded on top and inside the soap!  As I mentioned, the stars are biodegradable which is so cool!  

This was a fun piece to design and hopefully you like it!  Just in time for Christmas and Winter.  

Great for a teacher gift, coworker gift, friend, stocking stuffer...and the list goes on!

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

Please stop by as you can as I am adding new soaps to my shop!

HALLOWEEN IS UPON US ALREADY!  I have been so busy making soap that I lost track of the time.  This is one of my Halloween soaps and I love the swirl so much and the colors!

I have been using one of the samples of this soap and it is to creamy and the lather is amazing!  I would like to say it witch-approved but then I would have to be a witch!  

These can be purchased locally (just in case)!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Halloween Season is upon us!  This design has so many components - a bat, crescent moon, stars all embedded and visible from first handwash to the last!

Scented with Witches Brew.

Fun to design for sure!

Hope you all have a Happy Halloween!

The scent on this is amazing....so crisp and clean (eucalyptus and peppermint).  I decided to make this a 3 layer soap starting with a dark indigo, then a medium indigo and then a very creamy off white with a softly carved top.  It looks very stylish and the scent is memorable!  

This soap probably will not be available very long - lots of positive feedback.  Would be a wonderful stocking stuffer, coworker gift (for everyone), hostess gift...you are only limited by your imagination!  No, seriously this soap is amazing!

A wee bit early but just in case I don't have a chance to wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

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!
