a nameless soap from the Sarva Gallery Series!
Help this poor nameless soap! (Help my Photoshop skills too, but hey, at least we know my soaps aren’t as artificially enhanced as half of Hollywood.)
This is a beautiful soap, contrary to the abundance of shadows you see. My partner J said, “it’s a Zen soap!” Maybe it is. Hmm!
Anyway, it’s colored with French green clay, which also gives it a silky slip and creamy lather. I’ve embedded a square of white castille soap in each bar. Visually, this soap imparts a lovely stillness, a panacea for the craziness of your morning routine.
J likes its appearance. I like the scent. Basil and Peppermint… an unlikely combination that just smells divine. Soothing yet awakening, somehow it’s both. Japanese Matcha tea is like that for me. Hence the color of this soap.
I want to call it something like “Mental Clarity”. Once I find a variation on that theme which has more marketing zing, or if someone out there submits a great idea (a free bar if I use your idea!), in about six weeks you’ll see it on the Sarva Gallery Series page, about 4.5 ounces for $4.50, with its new moniker. And a brighter photograph.
Of course, I may just call it Matcha!
matcha is good. or a phrase in zen practice for the clarity of mind that comes in awakening, third eye. but that is not very marketable. hmmmmm
I know, you and I are totally on the same page! I had a beautiful black soap called Gassho a couple years ago. Looked like a Japanese ink stone. Nobody “got it”. Sigh.
Do you sit zazen?
