Laundry Day - Cut Pictures

Well, you've seen the picture and small video of the making of this, the cutting video and now, here are the cut pictures.  This is the most photographed soap I've ever made... a total movie star!

Laundry Day - a clean, fresh, comforting fragrance that reminds me of freshly washed laundry blowing in a summer's breeze or the fragrance when you snuggle up into a freshly changed bed.  I love it, it's soft and clean and just wonderful.

Hope you like the pics!

If you're interested in pre-ordering one of these, just drop me a line at info@soaperstar.com - they'll be fully cured by 5 October.

Cutting a new soap & my first Talkie!

My last post showed how I made my new Laundry Day soap which was mostly photos but a tiny little video too.  Everyone who saw it said "but why didn't you talk on it?".  Apparently, everyone wants to hear my accent!! Now I don't think I have much of an Irish accent but you can be the judge of that because we made another video today showing me cutting the soap. 

Oh I never mentioned about the fragrance on the video and that was really silly because it's a lovely scent - it reminds me of freshly washed laundry blowing in the breeze on a summer's day or when you just change all your bedclothes and snuggle in and feel so soft, safe and comfy.  It's sooooooooooo lovely, I adore it.  I'm definitely using this again too. 

So here is me, in my first talkie! Not sure what you'll think of it, I'm dying to hear!

Huge thanks, yet again, to Titch for being the videographer (check out her Facebook page at www.facebook.com/takenbytitch). 

Revamp

As I seem to be as busy as I was pre deciding I'd stop selling, I thought I might as well redesign my website to reflect some changes I wanted to make.

Here's a screenshot - it reflects changes I've already made to the blog too.

It's simpler, stripped down, tells you exactly what you need to know and, if it doesn't, how to ask.  What is i am ... handmade? It's just that - handmade items, more will be added in time.  It works on the concept of "here's the things I make.. if you like 'em, why not buy 'em... if you don't, don't ... but you know what? You should". 

If you want to see the whole site, check out http://www.soaperstar.com/index.htm.  All the new soaps are on there.  You know what to do. 

I'd love to hear your comments, suggestions, additions etc.  Oh yeah, and I know I've to do more work on the Ingredients page... I just got too tired after 8 hours doing this!
