Gala day - soapy business

Hey there, blogging world.

Over the past two terms we had to advertise for our gala day. We've been advertising and processing soap, making posters, and wrapping as well. We put lots of effort doing it online and also by hand, which in that case includes soap and gala posters. Doing it by hand wasn't really a challenge, but rather time-consuming. What's fun is that you create anything and sometimes listening to music depending on your conditions or the whole class. Putting a lot of effort took a lot of time also, colouring was a challenge because I could mess things up with pastels.

Now, up to the soap. We had lots of soap but not a lot of individual scents. The process was grating citrus fruit (lemons, oranges and tangerines were used) and melting glycerine/Shea butter/goat milk for 25-30 seconds, mixing the base and citrus together, moulding them and let them rest and solidify. It only took minutes really. The reason we make this mind-blowing soap is that most soap have quite harmful ingredients that is definitely not good for the skin (or perhaps other parts), we make soaps without chemicals so it's friendlier.

But since I finished my gala poster and had no idea to do, I got involved in a group using iMovie to create a presentation of soap. Me and Josh were directors and Calai was the producer, you can check them out in my class blog. I made a brainstorm and shared it to everyone involved. Here's a poster and picture.
