Living in Paradise sometimes isn’t all it is cracked up to be especially when it starts getting very buggy.  Right now the weather is cloudy and rainy and it is bringing out the biting bugs; the no-see-ums (sand-flies) are the worse because you can hardly see them until you start getting an antsy, itchy feeling.  They are coming out in swarms and as a result, we are staying indoors!  So, this is the perfect time to do a soap-making marathon.

We started off by making our Artisan Chocolate Soap.  This time we opted for a more blotchy appearance as opposed to our usual swirl.  It turned out well and it is amazing how one batch can make such a variation in designs!

Since some designs can be very unusual, interesting and unique, we have come up with an idea to pick 12 of the best looking soaps and offer them packaged in a Special Edition Silver Tin.  So, when our Apothecary finally opens, look out for our specials.

Playing with the “Doctor” theme, Gnome has come up with an idea to select some of our soaps as Rorschach Soaps because they have that ink-blot look which is associated with this well-known psychological test.  So, keep an eye out for the Rorsharch Gallery devoted to possible interpretations of pictures on our soaps!
