heirloomoriginals Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 I just did these today.BCS PeppercornI used Red oxide and what I thought was brown oxide from the co-op but after I mixed my lye with my oils, I realized I had grabbed the very coral (I think). I am not letting it gel, so hopefully it will stay that brown color. The pink was supposed to be a bit more red, but usually i use too much red!Backwoods Black Berry PatchThis turned out okay, I jus thope that the purple doesn't look too gray. First of all, I forgot to pull out some of my oils before I added my lye water to mix my colors in. Second of all, I wasn't sure how much to use to get a nice purple. I think I used too much green and I poured this pretty thick. The pattern is looking like I wanted it to, but not sure about the colors. We shall see!Steph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michi Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 What colorant did you use for that purple? My purple looked like that and then turned to mud.The other purple I used stayed grey like yours looks (on my monitor at least) but actually I liked it with the cherry pink it was mixed with. Either way, I think I'm really gonna like the green one and hate the teasing and waiting that goes with seeing these pics. of when they're first poured, so bring on those cut pics.

heirloomoriginals Posted February 21, 2007 Author Share Posted February 21, 2007 Here they are cut:PeppercornI am pretty happy with the way this turned out, still wish the pink was more red. Blackberry Patch (BW)This one is super strong and i am glad the purple stayed (next time I won't use so much of either color). The bubbles aren't colored though, so that is good! Michi, I used UM violet for the purple. We will see if it stays. I might order the select shades when my checkbook allows!TFL,Steph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
