Irish Times!

*waves* Yup, two posts in one day to make up for lost time! lol
I had been considering attempting a two color swirl even though my one color on the Blueberry sorta flopped the other day. I know, most would have tried to do the one color swirl again, but what can I say...I love adventure! lol
I really wanted to use the irish springlike scent that I had, and my oldest son suggested black and green swirlies so I decided why not? :) Yayyy for pictures!
Fast forwarding to where I have seperated my batch of soap into three parts. I poured the white into the mold, and started mixing my green. :)
Mixing the black. Lighting is a bit poor, my apologies.
Alternating black (which came out to be a more dark grey. probably could have used more pigment) and green.
Got my handy dandy bamboo skewer to swirl the colors around!
The end result of the swirling. Doesn't it look cool? :)
After unmolding it. I was slightly disappointed that the color didn't go further down, but was happy that it still turned out looking so cool. :)
Cutting the loaf. The white spot btw was from when I used the bamboo skewer to swirl it, the white had set quicker than I anticipated and I pull some up into the color batch. I think it looks neat tho.
Here's the top view of a cut bar. I love the texture of it.
Side view of the bar. One of the coolest bars ever!
This was actually a recipe that I came up with on my own I am proud to say. I didn't use goats milk either in this batch. I just wanted to do the regular white so that I could play with the colors a bit. Yayy for not having color mistakes this time. lol
Ok, so there's the catch up folks, it's time for me to turn into a pumpkin for the evening. Y'all rest well!
Suds & Bubbles,
Soapy
