Happy Monday! Man, my mind is always reeling with ideas, that I've started venturing into a new "planetary" line of soaps in addition to the "gemstone" line. =D To the left is the first installment called MERCURY. The planets were named after Roman mythology, so this loaf was inspired by Rome's Mercury, who was parallel to Greek's Hermes. Mercury was thought to be associated with gold and wealth (hence the golden swirls) and to be the escort for souls into the afterlife. The peachy color that's in the swirl there is going to turn brown (which I planned!). It hasn't turned yet, which is why I haven't taken a picture of the cut bars yet. I am waiting for it to cure so you can see the final result! This bar is scented with Iced Lemon Danish fragrance, and it smells pretty wonderful! I think next will be Venus (no particular order here :)
I did make PEARL for the next gemstone soap, but it didn't turn out like I had hoped it would. So, I remade it today and hopefully I will have a nice picture by next week. I originally made the fragrance Mandarin Plum mixed with Sandalwood, but I ran out of the plum, so I remade the new batch with Mulberry and Sandalwood. Honestly, I think it smells even better! I have plans for RUBY as well, but I might wait a little bit to make it
Anyway, keep an eye out for these two in the curing rack soon!
