Brenda Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 I hope this soap cures out nice! This is a rice bran oil soap with some shea butter too; behaved like a dream during the mix. Swirled in the pot with red & yellow oxides, black oxide, and a little shimmer mica in the darker orange portion. Used TD in the lye water. Scented with SW California Navel Orange, SC Sandalwood FO, and Mimosa FO - and it smells yummy. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.Thanks for looking! Thought I'd add my second batch from today. Scented with SC Sweetgrass. Didn't quite get the look I was going for. :undecided By the time I got the tan and green swirled in, the pink glopped up! After a 5 second debate of whether or not to add it on, I poured it on. Should have left it off, I think. But here's what it looks like:Bumpy top... Perhaps it will look better tomorrow!

Crying Moon Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 You need to start framing all of these pics of your soap swirls and open a modern art gallery. Looks great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brenda Posted December 4, 2006 Author Share Posted December 4, 2006 Thanks for your wonderful comments!Here they are cut, but not trimmed since they are still too soft. I used shea instead of my usual mango in these bars and it's enough to make a difference in the hardness of the bars.Thanks for checking them out. :smiley2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
