Now onto the the soap. After scenting my 2 pound batch with 1oz of Karma I split it into 4 equal batches(this is the point I realized the peacock swirl was not happening). I colored these containers with the following colorants going clockwise starting with the orange;
- 1/4 tsp of mango madness neon orange + 5 drops of premixed ultramarine blue(to darken the neon orange)
- 1/4 tsp of hydrated green oxide
- 1/8 tsp of brown oxide
- 1/8 tsp of yellow oxide
(all mixed with 2 teaspoons of sweet almond oil)
Instead of the peacock swirl I did a simple layers with gold pencil line in between. I actually really like how it turned out! It kind of reminds me of a sunset over the ocean! What does it reming you of? Comment below.
Thanks for stopping by and happy Valentines Day!!!
