Back to soap! Ever since I got the scent Orange Sapphire (from WSP) I have had the design in my head, orange balls surounded by a sapphire base (I am so creative...). So when I made a bunch of embeds I including three different sized orange balls that was needed for this soap. Then in order to make it look more orange-like I dusted the embeds with orange mica, while this is a pretty technique it is SO messy I swear there was orange mica on me for days. The soap was super easy though, a one color soap at thick trace and putting some balls here and there, how much easier could it get?

The final notes are that this fragrance soaped great at .5 oz per pound of oil, to achieve the blue I used 3/4 tsp sapphire mica, 1/4 tsp ultramarine blue, and 1/8 tsp espresso martini mica. And as a bonus with the added 20 or so ounces of soap oranges I was able to fill up both of my two pound loaf molds!
Thanks for stopping by and happy soaping!

My sister has the same problem as you with her internet, so she has to wait until she goes into town to catch up on a lot of Youtube videos and anything else that involves more than just words. So while I whine & complain about living in the 'burbs, at least I do have my reliable internet.
ReplyDeleteYour soap is so pretty! It reminds me of some background scene for a sic-fi show. I love how the mica really makes everything sparkle! So what does Orange Sapphire smell like? I figured out the orange, but what is the scent of sapphire? ;)
Thank you! Orange sapphire smells like orange with added notes of roses and other stuff I can't quite identify
DeleteLove citrusy scents! I'd be sniffing a bar of your soap all day if I could. :)
