"Sarasota" A soap inspired by Mable Ringling's Rose Garden. At last count, there were 1,164 roses in 317 different varieties on the Ringling Estate in Sarasota, Florida...

Love this one, too. I'm a huge rose scent fan (Stella McCartney's -- yum), but haven't got the hang of using them, as they always accelerate terribly on me. Has that not been a problem?
ReplyDeleteOK, I'm done stalking you for tonight. :)
haha...too funny! Yes, working with rose and florals in general is a bit tricky...I soap room temp and tend to avoid gel on my floral blends.
DeleteAll of your soaps are amazing! I was particularly touched by the inspiring story behind your peppered poppy soap, I am wondering what soap mold you use?
ReplyDeleteYour handmade soap looks amazing! Sarasota looks like a garden of flowers. Perfect for the spring coming up!
ReplyDeleteHandmade soap was never something I had used before, but then my husband and I started to look for better, more hydrating soaps this winter and organic, handmade soap seemed to be much more hydrating.
It's so much fun to see all the different kinds of scents and designs there are.
I've particularly enjoyed looking at the meandatree.com website. They have some pretty interesting options too!
Just wanted to tell you that your soaps are amazingly beautiful. I started about 2 yrs ago and bought everything under the sun, now I am ready to start with my swirls..Can you tell us what brands of colors you use or are they dry and then mixed or are they a liquid..That is the problem that confuses me..and for scents, I just use Bramble Berry Fragrance Oils and New York Scent Fragrance Oils, they are yum ME...Mad Oils also has a huge selection of Mica's that mix wonderfully in soaps..but I am wondering what you use. I am trying to find a true red, but so far no luck..But I love watching your video's and just maybe some day I will be half decent with my designs..thank you for sharing your talents with all of us..Victoria
