First up is Shodo - it means "the art of calligraphy" in Japanese. I just love how dramatic this turned out. The fragrance is an exquisite masculine blend of anise, cedarwood, sweet orange, lavender and bergamot.
Here is the cutting video on Youtube!
Another bit of news! I bit the bullet and bought a amateur lightbox setup! It has a permanent place in our workspace now, and I'm learning to take better pictures.. no more cellphone pictures for us! ;)
The fragrance in our latest soap is A Perfect Man: With fresh, daring notes of Japanese grapefruit, bergamot, and lemon; followed by middle notes of peppercorn, ginger, jasmine, aquatic marine notes, and a hint of peppermint; sitting on expensive base notes of natural patchouli, cedar, vetiver, labdanum, and frankincense.
And taken in my brand new lighttent and camera (that Luis gave me for Christmas and I've been too chicken to use!)
Ready for use March 10, available in-store or from our website at http://www.sogasoap.com
See you next time!

ReplyDeleteHi Louise,
ReplyDeleteI love the design of both of these soaps. Your video is great!
The cutter is wonderful and looks like it makes life easier.
The name of the soap is great! Thanks for the meaning.
Shodo would be a good name for a bear! Let me make a note of that...
Happy soap making.
Bear Hugs,
