Yay New soap stuff!

I recently placed an order with Bramble Berry, and my order came in!  I subscribe to the Bramble berry mailing list, so I see the updates on new products all the time.   They also had a booth and taught classes at the HSMG conference last May, so I wanted to try some of the techniques I learned, and buy some cool stuff!  

I got some Sweet Almond oil, a mold with knitting,(how could I resist that!) a Lucky sheep silicone mold, a mold to make spheres and the Brambleberry 36 bar birch wood mold with plastic inserts.  

I have been saving up for this mold, I think it will make the edges of my soap nice and crisp, and all an equal size.  I've been having size issues...  At the conference, they demo'd a bunch of swirling techniques that use this mold, I can't wait to try them out.  

My order came with a free sample of Midnight Pomegranate fragrance oil, it smells great.  

The silicone mold is from Kudos, a company that also had a booth at the conference two years running, I really wanted to try them out.  They are so cute and detailed!  

I just Love the knitting mold!  I had never seem it before, and I thought it was just perfect for me, "crossing the streams" it would seem, but in a good way.  I have some soap paint, so I am thinking of making a white soap and painting the yarn different colours.  

I had seem other soap makers add spheres to their soaps, and had no idea how they did it, this mold should be perfect for that.  

I can't wait to try some of these items out!
