Mucky Pig soap
« on: September 08, 2012, 01:13:45 pm »
Hi folks  :wave:

I thought you might like to see my latest soap creation ?
It's called "Mucky Pig" and despite the brown colour, it smells great  :thumbsup:
It's a blend of neroli, rose & cinnamon, spicy - fruity and floral all at the same time  :love:

Only unmoulded and cut them this morning, so it'll be a few weeks yet before these guys get packaged up in their own little 'pig pen'  ;) (I'll post photo's  :excited:) and are ready to leave for their new homes  :D
The little pigs are squeeky bath toys, the theory (not yet tested) is that they will keep the soap afloat if you drop it in the bath - pretty & practical  :thumbsup:

Thanks everybody - looks like they'll be popular  :thumbsup:
Just as well since I've ordered another 80 pigs  :innocent:

I saw a youtube video with ducky ones, they looked so cool I thought I'd adapt it for pigs - I think my bars of soap might be just a wee bit heavy to float since they're double the weight of a standard bar  :-\ Time will tell ! My brother's girlfriend wants me to do penguins on icebergs  :D (she's a bit of a penguin fan  ::) :roflanim:) but I did think about a whole 'farmyard' range - we'll see how it goes with these ones this year first  ;)

i think if you could get the penguins at a good price they would be worth a punt as they would be very popular as well, i have at least 1 person i would want to send 1 to....
