Call me crazy, but when a company says their colors are stable in CP soap, I actually expect said colors to be stable in CP soap. I've purchased from this company in the past and had no problems with their colorants. I won't name the company, but I will let you know that their company initials are not BB. So, I didn't hesitate to purchase some bright neons from them to liven up my spring/summer soaps.
Needless to say, I was quite annoyed when my soap, called Purple Hooters mind you, morphed from what was 2 beautiful shades of PURPLE to pink. What in the world...
Maybe, I'm a little weird, but I'm more annoyed that I had to come up with a new soap name than the morphed colors. Am I the only soap-maker who struggles with soap names? They don't come easy to me.
The colors themselves wound up giving me the name. I was muttering about the bad, misbehaving colors when inspiration struck...I think. I'm tentatively calling this "Misbehavin" as a nod to these naughty colors.
This was my first successful attempt with the oil mica swirl method. I love texturing my soap tops and it took a minute for me to realize that it will mess up the mica swirl. I'm thinking that if I let the batter firm up a bit more, there may be a way to get a little more height in there. Oh well, till next time :0)
Even though the color isn't quite what you had planned, I think the soap looks fabulous! I love the bright, bold colors and the swirls are fantastic. And I love the mica/oil swirls on top - I've got to try that soon! "Misbehavin'" is a great name for it.
ReplyDeleteThank you Jenny. Now how will I"ll have to try to recreate this look the next time I make it, lol.
DeleteSo pretty! I love this pink, no matter you actually didn't expect it to be there!
ReplyDeleteThanks. I was fortunate that the colors still worked somehow, lol.
DeleteReally stunning pink! HA! It looks great and the name is perfect!
ReplyDeleteThanks Holly! Your soap arrived yesterday. They're beautiful and I can't wait to use them xx
DeleteGorgeous Kia, the colors are really stunning! I love the name too..lol!
ReplyDeleteThank you :0)
DeleteKia, your soap is fabulous dispute the unexpected color change. What's funny is that I made a soap just yesterday using a neon purple and I think it turned almost exactly the same shade of pink. I've been making soap for a little while, but have more recently gotten into playing with color. I still have a lot of playing around to do because I'm not getting the colors I expect. Your soaps are wonderful. I love the color in your soaps. Inspiring!
