More Soap
Friday, December 07, 2007
You wouldn't think I'd be making soap at this time because our move is just around the corner, the holidays are less than 3 weeks away, and the apartment is way WAY too crowded at the moment. But I did. I made another batch of the Coffee Soap - which will probably wind up to be 9 bars. I also made another match of the Crunchy Frog Gardening Soap - which will be another 3 molded frogs.
The Summerfield Craft Fair cleaned me out of the coffee soap (cleaned, hehe) and people are asking for it - including a woman that bought two bars at the craft fair and wants more. So I'm going to unmold that loaf and make another as a back up. Those should be ready at the beginning of January.
The frogs are so cute, I couldn't resist making more. Since the mold only allows me to make 3 at a time, I figured I'd make some just to stock up. Also, my parents said there's a woman in their community that apparently is crazy about frogs so I figured I'd send them one along with some coffee bars so they can show her the frog in case she wants to be a client/customer.
In any case, I've determined that even though it sounds really nice to have 'flavored' coffee soap, the scent of the flavor really doesn't come across with the cured soap, so I'll be just calling the bars 'Coffee' in the future. That will save me a lot of time and trouble making and keeping up with numerous labels.
I've also added the Crunchy Frog Gardening Soap as a new product in the Feral Moon line. The label is a bit different as it doesn't wrap around the molded soap. Because of that, the label is less than 3" in diameter and there are two tags, one on top of the other. The top tag is what you see below. The tag beneath has the description, ingredients, and Feral Moon logos. If I could find really inexpensive paper boxes with holes in them, I'd purchase those so that the froggy soap could live in his froggy house, at least until he reached his new owner. Currently though, the frog is bagged. Good thing he doesn't need much oxygen.
