My Oven Process fugly soap

I made my usual CP recipe.I put it in the mold and thought to myself 'How about trying the Oven Process?'.Ok,sounded like a good idea.I have patience issues and with my regular CP I can put it away and not think about it.But this OP(oven process) drove me bonkers.I kept poking at it,checking on it.I wasnt sure what it was 'suppose' to do.But this is what I got..





Totally usable soap.But just not as gorgeous.I do feel bad that its was suppose to be my husbands.Its scented with his favorite-cantaloupe.I feel that I will be smoothing it out beforehand though.Poor,soap!!

Red Currant and Thyme tea soap

The men in my house..meaning my hubby and 11yo LOVE this scent..it came out awesome..but maybe a little coloring to make it seem like it was 'red' currant but oh well,its still very pretty and smells AWESOME..

I made SUSHI!!

I was hungry for some sushi..and I had some things in the fridge and in the pantry..so this is what I came up with ..

My Coconut Cream with olive oil chunks soap

The chunks are olive oil soap chunks and I mixed it into my coconut cream soap.It looks rustic and chunky.

my flower photo transfer pendant

I have been experimenting with polymer clay and LOVE to transfer my photos onto it.This is a photo that I took while on vacation back home in Hawaii.I used a sealer on the top of it to get a 'glassiness' that I like.The photo itself is set onto the polyclay so the sealer is strictly for preference and can also be left matte.

a little boy's messenger bag

I made this bag out of a thrift store sweater that I paid $2.50 for.I cut it out and felted it-I tried hand felting but I wasnt getting the results that I wanted so I machine felted and it came out great..




This is the bag's new owner(my son) and my helper/model..
