SOAP AS ART

Kate has developed a new way to create visual art into her home made Black Crow Soap.  That is in addition to the methods she has developed for incorporating innovative fragrances, sculptural shapes, cleansing performance, and moisturized healing in to every bar.  

The lead photo bove is taken of a tray roughly 12"x18" before cutting in to soap bars.  How long before someone wants their "cake" of soap framed instead of sliced in to bars?


After hundreds of experiments with ingredients, processes and special tools, Kate has worked out a set of soap-making techniques that are her own brand and unique style.  While every batch is a new work of art, every single batch incorporates the special ingredients and methods that make them so different.  (Hint:  One phase involves wearing industrial eye and skin protection, with ice cubes, lab thermometer and lab beakers on the back deck...with instructions: "Don't any body go near that bubbling brew!")

Speaking of brand, a national distributor, Dakota Thyme, has begun placing Kate's soaps in to special shops and boutiques, retail priced at around $5 per bar.   See Dakota Thyme's very impressive web site at www.DakotaThyme.com.  


But if you are a client of Lee Alley Real Estate (www.LeeAlley.net) you will enjoy special gift baskets of Kate's soap and an entire year's supply to celebrate when Lee closes a deal for you.
