A new soap from me


Hello, as some if you may know, I have certain soaps that I make for the Miss Polly range, and since I started this range, I haven't made a soap just for fun, just to be creative. So with some time on my hands, I got back to playing with ingredients and designs and I made this one.



When I first started thinking about soaping as a hobby, I spent hours on the net looking at soap pictures and one from Birch Bark Soaps always always caught my eye. I still love it to this day, and this is my version of one of her soaps. I hope the link works, but here is the original soap that inspired me.

Having found a renewed love of soaping, I plan a few more soaps, and I'll be putting these on my folksy and etsy shop xx

Wow, beautiful soap, Polly! I love the pencil line. Is that star anise on top? It looks very elegant. Sounds like you're having lots of fun experimenting with new things! Your soaps are always so pretty. :)

Thanks Soapchick - it smells divine, one of my favourite FOs

Jenny - thank you. yes, that is Star anise on the top. i had some left over from a failed experiment so i thought I would use it up. I think it worked well. And thank you for saying my soaps are pretty, that's only because I won;t post photos of the ugly ones (and I've made plenty of them) lol
