Testing fragrances and playing around

This started as a gradient soap but I want to try my hand at adding a design within the soap so I add a tiger stripe of black and pink.  I really like how it turned out and so do my kids they think its neat.  I most definitely will be doing the style again. It makes the soap pop!  I was using  WSP margarita lime fragrance.  Its was very strong when I poured but after a week the scent has faded. So anyways here it is.

Soap challenge #4

Hey y'all I'm doing another soap challenge from Greatcakes Soapworks Amy Warden.

This time it's a multicolored gradient soap challenge that I'm doing. Unfortunately my soap don't look like its multi color but it was when poured it and I think the fragrance reacted with the color and so it looks like it only has two colors. Anyways I used the colors bright pink mica a bright orange mica and yellow mica which was a pop mica from TKB TRADING. The fragrace I used was Island Nectar from WSP. This is a BBW dupe and smelld lovely.

Blue Sugar Cane

I really like this scent. It reminds me of a fragrace I used to buy from  Sears called Get Sexy but of course they don't make any more.  So glad Natures garden has this fragrance.
I used neon blue mica and pop mica form TKB trading. As you can see it does discolor to tan because of the vanilla content.  I should have used titanium dioxide to whiten the uncolored parts.  Overall I really like this scent and will be using this in body scrubs and lotions.

Sharing Soap

Everyone's favorite Black Rasberry Vanilla. This one is from Natures Garden.
I used the purple pop mica and charcoal both of these were from TKB trading. This is made with goats milk.

She love the floral fragrances.  Something I do not care for but I had received the scent from southerngarden scents and it was the one scent she liked out the order. I made this soap to reflecy the clores of her bathroom which is teal and brown. I did the foe funnel swirl using one pound batch of bastille soap recipe.

Soap Challenge #2 Mantra Swirl

Well this is another soap that challenge that Amy Warden is doing .  Of course I was doing  a test run with one of my favorite scent Juniper Breeze!   This one did not  turn out the way I was hoping. It kinda moved fast so i was not able to gt the swirl the way I wanted.  But this is just for practice, got a few more to make. I used  mica colors from TKB trading.  These in neon red blue and white. The fragance I used was from Nature's Garden.  I also add goat's milk too! This was my 4th of July soap.
