Plain White soap

I did it.
Marvelous for me the Artiste.
I have managed to create plain white soap for all those people that prefer no colour ,no perfumes,just an elegant natural very healthy froth and bubble block of soap.
Most soap makers start with the plain white soap of course.

This soap as all my others has a main Macadamia Nut Oil Base ,cause it's the best and was first discovered where I live.
Okay, the soap was in its blanket cocoon for 38 hours this time and I wandered down to one of my favorite spots in the bush to rest gain some of natures energy and wisdom.What name shall I give it ,I waited for inspiration.Finally the obvious donged me over the head.Macadamia Soap.

Now it sits quietly ,I hope as I haven't opened that cupboard door to check that there is no song and dance going on , you never know on a magical spot like Bauple Mountain.In four weeks time I will have a specially elegant lable ready for it and life will seem complete,for 2 seconds as it does.
Oh yes as I heat and make my soaps out doors I did have to lift ash and the odd tiny winged body out.Hope it wasn't a fairy.

Wilde Strawberry

Those colours,hmmm,lots to learn from experience yet.

I am reasonably happy with this soap and with the lable I have in mind I think they will be alright.

First time around that strawberry fragrance that grabbed and congealed the soap was overpowering .2nd mix and put into another mixture it has faded a lot.

Now some really great news.Today was the second day the builders were back and have done a great job of fixing up the storm damaged bathroom.

Friday will see the finishing touches.

The ceiling will be replaced and my gorgeous diaphanous of the curtains up and blowing in the breeze ,giving little glimpses of the views.

Tried my first soap

I have tried out my first soap from my first batch.
What can I say.The luxurious soft,silky feel I am left with lives up to every promise that has ever been made about natural oil hand made soaps so that has me a little more hooked on it still.
I wonder if that xfactor could be the Macadamia/ Bauple Nut oil I am using as the main base.Adding appropriately olive oil,coconut oil etc of course.
At the moment I am researching Rose soaps.
I want to make a beautiful soap with an equaly beautiful package.
I want to tip bucket loads of essential Rose oil into it and that is not cheap so I am finding out a way to get it direct from the manufacturers.
In the mean time I will keep playing with lables for the others.

Lime Soaps,Baby soaps,Bauple Mountain Sunrise soap

Lime ,or Squelch as this yummy looking soap has named itself.
Actually it isn't quite this bright and it really makes you feel it is a real lime off the tree.
There is Lime essntial Oil Lime Juice and lime gratings,plus some Aloe Vera juice straight from my own Aloe Vera plants.
The limes that I used are from my good friends Dianne and Lees Bauple Property.I can't wait to try this soap out.

This is my delicate Star is Born ,Baby soap inspired of course by little Byron.The perfume is Baby powder from Sweet cakes and some extra Chamomile.The appearance should lighten becoming the softest of lavenders as it cures.

Secret Fairy Notes

Heres my Secret Fairy Notes soap.
Its allready in the styrene box to let set for at least 24 hours.
The stars will be sliced in three and used to stick on as a seal on a rolled up slice of soap.
Lavender and patchouly are the perfumes ,with the greater amount being Patchouly.
Colours and mauves and purples.I managed to get a lovely rough flicked topping on both soap loaves.The colours will change as the soap cures .
Copha,Olive oil,sunflower oil and of couse Macagamia Nut oils were used.

Aloe Vera from my garden

What does this soap ask to be called?
After a little time spent on a toadstool navel gazing it seems to call it self Capricorn.So this is my first Zodiac Sign Soap.
I have put orrange essential oil in this time but will exchange that for lime.
Real Aloe Vera from my mountain garden has been included.
Virgin Olive oil,Copha and Macadamia nut Oil also.
Photo maybe tomorrow.
This time I have poured it into small milk cartons and will slice them when I take them out.

One More MoonDance,Later

MoonDance Soap

It feels so good to unwrap the insulating blanket and take out my new borns.

MoonDance

I used some Bauple Mountain red clay,blue ultramarine and a little bit of Mauve.

Scented with chamomile and Lavender and they smell good.

Just the perfect relaxing soap after a wonderfull night dancing accross the moon.Craters and all.One small sugarlite crystal imbedded to haul in that moon magic.

Bathroom Studio

My Bathroom/ studio is looking a little more me all the time.

I have lovely floaty curtains to go arround it all made up and waiting.Have to have storm damaged ceiling fixed first.

Why studio/bathroom?I have nerve damage in legs and back so when it takes hold very painfully I escape to my gl0rious bath.It helps so much.That Ships wheel is also my grab rail and works better than an ordinary bar

Want to peek at more of my still unfinished Bathroom ?Click above

I can paint or what ever in that bath but it is best used for visulzation excersizes when I am creating in my head.

Hey,love that view.Out on the horizion but not showing there in that photo is Fraser Island .

Did I mention that my home is called SS.Stargazer, so named when built in 2000

Celestial Dreams

This is my third bit of fun.Celestial Dreams.

A Vanilla and pinky concoction staright out of the universe.

I think I am improving.Four weeks or so to go till I know of course.

Yesterday I made Moon Dance, Chamomile and lavender in Mauve,red Bauple Mountain clay and white colours.

I think this gold leaf ,crystal endowered star will be Stardust Soaps signature.
