If you make cold process soap, you've probably already heard about the
column swirl craze going on right now. Well, I am addicted to swirling and
had to try it! I used activated charcoal for my black, yellow mica, hydrated green chrome oxide and Cellini blue (which should morph to a nice violet by tomorrow). My fragrance choice is a refreshing combination of lavender, lime and peppermint.
Notice my "column" is a rectangular box I found (thinking, heck, my mold is rectangular, this will work!). Next time I'll try something square to see the difference.
Is it just me, or is there a creature staring back at me in the pour below?
Pulling the colors through with a reed (and giggling with excitement).
I always tell my students in swirl classes to know when to stop manipulating the swirl or you get mud. I pretty much threw my own advice out the window at this point because I was so excited. I
love the psychedelic spider web look and cannot wait to cuts bars tomorrow!! Keep an eye out for the finished product.
I'm ready to celebrate Independence Day the soapy way. These awesome melt-and-pour American flag bars are perfect handouts for your friends and family this coming Monday. Everything you need to make your own patriotic party favors is in one easy kit.
