Rosemary (Cineole) Soap With Arnica Flower Absolute

A photo of the finished soap, and the process by which it was created, was going to be posted here for our clients, but both our cameras (both!) have died and the chargers cannot be located. It's a real problem. New chargers have been ordered and photos of The Scented Djinn's creations will follow.

In the meantime, please feast your sensory organs here:

Alhulm, the Dreaming Incense

So, Alhulm, the Dreaming Incense, is being just a little bit difficult. It won't stay lit. It will burn for about 10 or 12 minutes, then it slowly stops burning. It could be that it isn't completely dry yet, but I think it might be more like the resin content is interfering with a consistent burn. This isn't necessarily a bad thing -- inconvenient to those of you who torch your incense, but nothing to worry about if you use an electric incense burner or an candle lit oil diffuser to 'warm' your incense. In fact, that's the preferred method of 'burning' incense; low heat, slow 'burn' = long-lasting, beautiful, true-to-source smelling incense. Believe it or not, I don't have an electric incense heater -- it's on the wish list, but as of yet, I haven't made the investment. Too many beautiful resins and woods and herbs out there to buy and learn about to fuss with a fancy pants (much needed) electric burner.
