Hi all!  I promised to have my shop open, and sure enough, here it is: 

Dearie’s Delights on Etsy

I hope you all will take a look at what I’ve got so far.  It’s still early days, but I’m hoping to gradually expand into different sizes, scents, and possibly other products altogether!

New Listing - Too Many Soaps!

Hey everyone!  As many of my followers know, I recently got into the weird new hobby of making soaps based on characters that I love.  Well, now I’ve got more soap bars than I know what to do with.  I want to make more, but I’ve got a veritable avalanche of soaps in my office.  So I’m offering a deal: three random bars of soap for $10.  That’s a savings of about $1.66 per bar.

This listing will be up for the entire month of December, or for as long as supplies last. A complete list of scents can be found on the listing below.

New Listing - Yummy Lavender Soap

Inspired by the “We Gull Way Back” episode of Our Flag Means death, this soap is luxuriously scented with lavender, oatmeal milk, and honey, and contains oatmeal for a gentle exfoliating finish.

New soaps dropped!

This week’s new soaps are inspired by by new obsession: Eddie Munson and Chrissy Cunningham from Stranger Things.  Yes, I am being THAT flavor of obsessed.

The first soap is called Hellfire, and is inspired by Eddie.  This soap contains hemp seed oil, which does NOT contain THC or CBD.  It’s scented with Leather, Tobacco, and Bay Leaf fragrance oils.  This is a very earthy, herbal smell with lots of pine notes.  The red and black pigments I used came out much lighter than expected, but I’m fairly happy with the smoky swirl I got.

Next is my interpretation of Chrissy Cunningham.  “Mean and Scary” is scented with rhubarb, citrus, and peach, with seaweed and deep sea water to give it a surprising depth.  This is a very beachy fragrance.  I’m wicked happy with how the swirls came out.

You can find both of these on my Etsy Shop!  These are a bit more expensive than all the others, for the simple reason that they’re bigger.  But I weighed them out and did the math, and you’re getting the same bang for your buck.

I made a Mr. Gold-inspired soap, but the color combo looks very… Maleficent-y. I’m considering adding gold eco-glitter. But glitter is an invasive species of craft material that I’m not sure I want to introduce to my habitat.

I am gonna come out with SO MANY NEW SOAPS once my order of fragrances and colors comes in.

I think I need to make a soap inspired by this guy next. Thoughts?

If all goes well, I’ll be posting a link to my Etsy shop this weekend. Watch this space!

New soap - Softly Simmering

I’ve been wanting to make this soap for a while, and I finally settled on some fragrance oils I was happy with. This soap is inspired by my favorite bastard potions master, Severus Snape - a Severus Snoap, if you will (all credit to @madameish for having more wit than I do).

This soap didn’t come out as dark as I expected, but the swirls of opaque light and transparent dark grays make for an interesting smoky effect. This is an herbal, woodsy soap, featuring scents of sandalwood, cedar, tobacco, and bay leaf (among others).

New soap - Forbidden Fruit

This one is inspired by our favorite Evil Queen. Sweet apple is nearly eclipsed by dark, smoky scents of ginger, black pepper, sandalwood, and clove. Sultry floral notes of rose and orchid finish off this scent.

You’re a f*cking bowl of soap!

This joke soap was inspired by the “bowl of soup” video from Robert Carlyle (YouTube link below). All credit for this idea goes to @wayamy27narf who demanded I make a “fucking bowl of soap.” This is my attempt.

The bluey-purple part is scented with a nag champa fragrance oil to symbolize the incense burner in the story, and the white part has Scotch whisky scent for Bobby’s accent. The colors were chosen because of Bobby’s shirt. I also added pink Himalayan sea salt to make it look more soupy, and because… well, the story was told at Comic-Con. Anyone who’s been to a nerd convention knows how they smell.

I attempted to get the purple parts into a bowl shape, but it’s much harder than it looks, so I settled for a half-and-half look. Pics under the cut!
