Working Hard or Hardly Working?

I'll admit it, this job is way too fun to consider work! One of my favorite things to do here at Otion is test fragrances in cold process soap. It's a great opportunity to practice swirling techniques and try different color combinations, not to mention the thrill of using a totally new scent. Here, I used antique blue mica, yellow mica, and coral mica to create this fiery swirl for a Chipotle fragrance. Can't wait to see how the pattern changes with each bar!

  1. CRAZY colors! So the Yellow Mica did that bright yellow for the base? Fascinating ...

  2. Hardly working. But this is your passion and you get to work it too. I love it. That has to be Toxic Waste Dump Yellow, no?

  4. Thanks for the compliments everyone. I went a little heavy on the yellow mica to get that great bold color-- wouldn't be surprised if it lathers yellow =)
