I don't know about anyone else, but sometimes I really start to feel like I'm running out of ideas for Soapmaking. How many different types of swirls can I do before everything starts to look the same? By the time I got to this soap, I was in one of such slumps.
HARLEQUIN
Japanese Grapefruit and Citron leaf neatly crushed with Sparkling Mimosa with smoky note of Tobacco, Sugar Cane and Black Vanilla
I've been holding on to this oil for a while now unsure what to do with it. It's "Dirty Mimosa" from the Sage. I like using FO's from MMS when I'm looking for something very different from the popular scents that other soapers are carrying in their shops. If only I had a nose for real scent blending...sigh.
I play around a bit with it, but I'd LOVE to really, really understand how to create my own fragrance blends. Sorry, back to this soap :0)
As I was saying, I'm a bit in a design slump, so I decided to just go with an ITP swirls with more focus on the colors as opposed to the design. The soap balls were a last minute addition. I saw my last bar of Seaberry on the rack and decided, why not add some soap scrap balls again.
MINI BARS
The orange soap shreds didn't have much "pop" to them, so I decided to dip them into some gold and orange mica. I really thought the base would discolor due to the vanilla in the fragrance description, but these have been curing for 2 weeks now and so far so good. Fingers crossed.
Wow, those are some gorgeous swirls, Kia! And the soap ball embeds really make the soap pop. Bravo!
