The last of my Lavender Escapades

*waves* Hey y'all! Hope everyone is staying cool while in all this heat! :) Sooo, I made a batch of soap yesterday and decided to do, yes, another Lavender Escapade sort of thing. I brewed a tea (lavender and rosemary), grabbed some goatsmilk and went from there.

Ok so I did the normal heating oils and letting the lye mixture cool, which actually took a bit of time to do because of the heat. It was actually interesting because the tea seemed to seperate from the goats milk but the lye was mixed well. I had made the tea and goats milk mixture a couple of weeks ago and had to freeze it because a storm was coming which made it easier to work with when I added the lye.

Anyhow, I get pour the lye into the oils, got them mixed, separated, and did the color slightly different this time. Instead of totally mixing the color in, I did a swirl in the bowls and began to pour it in layers.

Here's the Green which is supposed to symbolize the Rosemary.

The purple, which of course symbolizes the lavender.

I continued to layer, as you can tell it was at a thick trace at this point.

And the purple...

So I swirled just a wee bit more to give it a slight texture up top.

I went in this morning to check on it and I was pleased with the look of it.

The purple kinda has a blue tint slightly but I like it. :)

So I cut it in half! I absolutely love it!

All cut up! Isn't it lovely? I love the colors of this. I am not sure I care too much for the smell though. I did a Lavender Rosemary scent combination, so we'll have to see what it smells like in the next week or so.

Well there you have it. The last of the Lavender Escapades set. :) I have to run and get a couple of things done, but will try to blog again today. :) Stay cool!!
