Hey, Look! Pretty colors!

Hey folks,

Here's a shot of the NEW and improved Buff Daddy Soaps Testing Facilities. Alas, no action shots. Turns out it's harder than I thought to get people to pose for public pictures while showering. Who'd have thunk?. Anyway, in lieu of photos of very attractive soapy people I present to you the new work of Holli Brown Mosaics. See that nifty paver-thingy at the base of the testing facilities? That's a mosaic (for you uncultured folks) made by said HBM.

Now, I'm thrilled with her work because, well, it's fun to shower on. But, I'm also thrilled that it looks good in the process--and I think it makes me look better, thinner, and more hip, at the same time. You should get one for yourself, don't you think? Then we could all look better, younger, thinner, richer, and more hip--just because we showered on some nice work.

If any of y'all are intrigued enough to wanna check out Holli's work, I suggest you start here: Holli Brown Mosaics.

If you want to check out the Buff Daddy Soaps Testing Facilities just give me a call!

Ah! Fall harvest!


A new crop of soaps is ready for harvest! These beauties just came out of the molds and are, as of yet, unscented. I'm trying a new (to me) technique of making plain soap (sweet cream?) and making scents of it, later. The theory is I get a more efficient use of essential oils, better consistency, smoother texture, and world peace. I'm really only trying this for the sake of the world, after all.

These five loaves represent about 35 pounds of soap and I'll probably make two different flavors. But, with my new technique, I should be able to make much smaller, more experimental batches. Don't be surprised if you find me selling broccoli soap at the Cherrywood Art Fair. Ok, be a little surprised.....
