i love packaging


wrap & wrap

make many many small tags

i like packaging more than anything else.

the leaves stamp was bought from petite morpho in my last visit,
pretty pretty!

the weather is no good these few days, very humid.......
& i found the soap is sticky on it's surface.
so i wrap them up immediately, & put them in a dry cabinet.

sweet romance


想做一批帶松樹香味的皂, 上次在兆成行買了松のessential oil, 愛死它的味道, 因為嗅着也有潔淨感, so refreshing !
本來"松"應該配合綠色才對, 但我只有red clay (而且是還剩下很多?!).......

又來玩分兩層色, 深一點的紅加淺紅.
跟據上次的經驗, 顏色會隨着熟成的時間而略為變淡一點.
所以, 這次下面那層加多了許多red clay.
上層會變baby pink 就好了.
皂上面加了點上次剩下來米色的皂碎, 有點像 nuts !
因為加入castor oil, trace 的速度頗快. 好在眼明手快入摸.
