Hi! We are Ellie, Mabel and Hattie.

We are three best buds who like to craft and play with whatever we can get our hands on. With the help of our neighbour-friends, Lucas, Zoey and Natanya, we made these soaps purely for fun! And yes, the main ingredient is chalk.

Soap Suds was made for Tombolo Gallery's Make-Believe Mall experience happening from September 18th to 27th. Check it out!
