Show and Tell Monday Give Away

Hello Everybody,

At last, I have something to show and tell. I have been in a holiday soap making frenzy. I will share a few of my designs, but they are still in the rough stages. Read on to find out about the giveaway.

The first is a Christmas Stocking. the soap itself has a gold metalic shimmer. The colors are also shimmery mica. I have a few other options which are not yet completed.







The next is a snowflake with just a touch of pearly white mica. I also make this in a clear soap, but everyone seems to like this one.

The third is a holly soap. This is just made with layers of different colors and a few touches of soap paint (made from mica) on the berries. Next to the holly is Joy, again just layers of clear soap topped with an opaque white soap.


















Last is the Santa Soap. This is still a work in progress. It requires lots of layers of color. It is still not right. I won't point out my mistake, but I bet someone will find it. You will probably find more than one, but the first person to find the one I am thinking of will win $10 worth of products from my web site. Take a look at these versions of Santa, and good luck.

Hi Marie! I love your Christmas goodies, especially the snowflake!
Could it be that the mouth is a bit short on one side on the traditionally colored Santa? =0]

Marie said...

Hi Andie,
The mouth is messed up, but that is not the mistake I had in mind. What have I done? I've invited you all to publicize my errors. Oh well. Good answer though, Andie.

What mistake? You have done a wonderful job...I make soap too and it is NOT easy to get the colors and make them as beautiful as you have.

Susie said...

Hi Marie! Is Santa's chest white in one soap and red in the other? Looks like you are in the mood for Christmas. Not me. I still have my toes sticking out of my sandals.
Great Show and Tell.
