Sheep

Great plain or coloured.

Older kids can colour feet, face, horns by adding mica to a tiny bit of melted soap.

As it's used, it keeps its sheep shape to the very end!

This black and white sheep soap was made using white M&P and black mica. Also looks great with just white M&P

Great for groups of friends!
This sturdy mould makes six of these flowers, each 30g.
The red flower was made with clear M&P soap and red mica; the white one just with while M&P soap.

Fairy in the field


A beautiful fairy... made with white M&P soap and purple mica. Lavander essential oil would add a lovely fragrance to this soap.

Silver mica looks magic brushed on at the end when the soap has completely cooled.

Turtle with red hat!


Really cute. A delight.

making bath bombs is simple and fun. Recipes here.

 

Lip Balm
