I've been trying out new techniques and fragrances. And have been making some beautiful and tempting soaps for someones bathing pleasure.<br />

Here is my first try at doing a layered effect, I ended up running out of time and poured one layer too soon and it swirled into the layer underneath. But I ended up with a beautiful yellow and mauve color effect. <br />

Handmade on Main shut their doors and I was working to find another outlet for my products. Finally this summer I found a nice little boutique in Becker and a great coffee shop in St. Francis. Both places are carrying my soaps. I'm also sending soaps into the Art Alliance of Elk River for their Christmas showcase and in Jan. I'm teaching a Ladies Night Out class full of color and fun, where the ladies are going to make <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">eyeshadows</span>, <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">lipgloss</span> and soaps. I'm also teaching a kids <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">soapmaking</span> class in Feb. just in time to make a Valentines gift for their Mom or Dad.<br />Well back to work, I have cattle to check on and soap to cut. Today I'm cutting Chocolate Truffles, Pure Vanilla and <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error">Stephanotis</span>. The Pure vanilla is wonderful and Chocolate Truffles smells just like chocolate liquor.Lady Moritzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10606957009051742163noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6453648836550696235.post-61592845295985887322010-10-27T16:56:00.000-07:002010-10-27T17:06:01.697-07:00Finally....Soap is selling like hotcakes, You can buy my soaps now at two retail locations. One is in the beautiful downtown Anoka, MN at the wonderful Handmade on Main store in the old post office building on the corner of Main street and 3rd. Or you can stop by Green Valley Garden Center in Ramsey for a beautiful Mum and let your children play all the wonderful games and crafts they have along with picking up some of my soaps or even a lipbalm or two.<br /><a href="http://www.handmadeonmainmn.com/">www.handmadeonmainmn.com</a><br /><a href="http://www.gvgh.com/">www.gvgh.com</a>Lady Moritzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10606957009051742163noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6453648836550696235.post-62422699825147474862010-07-26T12:33:00.000-07:002010-07-26T12:50:23.272-07:00Ready to use soap porn...A while ago I was playing with some olive oil and coconut oil blends and tried out a 50/50 one with a little lavender essential oil and came up with this.<br /><p><br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Sbt5VR2pN1Y/TE3kZYfb6QI/AAAAAAAAABY/At0HCyk2uBE/s1600/HPIM1601.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 400px; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5498301844811409666" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Sbt5VR2pN1Y/TE3kZYfb6QI/AAAAAAAAABY/At0HCyk2uBE/s400/HPIM1601.JPG" /></a> </p><p>No seeing as these are test batch bars I have them econo wrapped and labeled.

Apply 1-2 layers or your personal preference. Than with your eyeshadow brush (I used the wet/dry eyeshadow brush) apply your pink shadow (I used Girl Next Door) all over your eyelid. Than take a liner brush (I used the liner side of the Double Ended Eyeshadow) and apply the Gray shadow along your lash line and the nice angle on that brush makes it easy to get that upward tale on the top outer corner of your line. I usually apply a little under the outer corner of my eye but you should apply your liner the way it looks best for your eye shape. Next apply your blush or face color only to the apples of your cheeks. (I used Pink Dilly Dreams) And last but not least is apply a nice sheer lipstick to accent your lips. (I used Hipster Lipstick) Thanks so much for reading my first little tutorial and I hope that you will be able to use it this spring as you celebrate the warmer weather....<br /></div><br /><br /><div align="center"></div><br /><br /><div align="center">And now on to the next Tag!</div><br /><br /><div align="center">Debbie, Tag Your it!</div><a href="http://www.soapylove.blogspot.com/">http://www.soapylove.blogspot.com/</a></div><br /><div align="center">So head on over and check her out!</div><br /><div align="center">Thank You!<br /></div><br /><div align="center"><br /></div><br /><div align="center"><br /></div><br /><div align="center"></div>Lady Moritzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10606957009051742163noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6453648836550696235.post-88342283965566325882009-02-19T14:16:00.000-08:002009-02-19T14:21:25.116-08:00Start Blogging..Everyone keeps telling me that I need to start blogging.
