Feijoa would be fabulous but should be easy enough to create a feijoa accord
- with say green pineapple, a touch of pine, lime, a touch of strawberry,
banana and perhaps lemon and just playing with the proportions.  The green
pineapple and pine would be essential

Thank you Ross for co-ordinating and guiding us all.  It was fun.

 

I learnt:

*    My label needs revamping.

*    Perhaps a higher % of coconut oil will contribute to even more bubbles
-experimentation required.

*    I need to rethink my opinion of fragrant oils.

*    Titanium dioxide can create fabulous effects.

 

All in all the soap swap rekindled a desire to experiment more.

 

I really wish I could capture the scent of feijoas - it is just adorable.
Unfortunately when soaped you wouldn't know the fruit was even there.
Shame.

 

Thank you all.

 

Liz

Subject: [soapcraft] Closing Soap Swap

 

Hi all

 

The soap swap is now officially closed.

 

Thank you all for participating.  It was fantastic to see everyone's
techniques and concepts.  We had a really diverse range of soap/ers

 

I think we have all learned something during this process which was the aim
of the swap.  I learned:

 

.         My boxes don't travel well!  (Have started posting in boxes)

.         About potassium lactate

.         Natural colours can be fabulous

 

Please continue to post any overflowing comments if you need to.

 

Let's all start thinking about if we would like to do another swap/challenge
in the nearish future and when you would like to do that.  I am keen to do a
themed fragrance blend challenge.

 

Happy soaping
