Everything that could go wrong did. So I probably should call it Murphy's Law Soap.
The new color sampler I got from Amazon, while beautiful in the little plastic bags, became mud colors in the soap mix. By bag color this was a graduation of three tones of blue - pale, medium, and dark, with the addition of red-purple and red. It went into the molds as shades of blue, purple, and red purple.
About one-half hour after pouring I had dark charcoal, mud brown, grey blue, no purple at all, and that red is mucky beige-oranges with a cast of sickly yellow.
Trace took forever and, of course, I spilled one of the colors when I was reaching for the hand mixer. Plus my embed, which I wanted just under the top surface .... sank.
So, my thoughts so far are:
Night of the Living Dead
Cold Sweat Nightmares
Down the Drain
Barf Bars (my favorite so far)
Mud Puddles
and ... Stolen from the Bates Motel!
It's so ugly at this point that I don't even want to think about using it for confetti soap.
So, what would you name this batch of soap?
PS. My camera was extremely kind by adding color that isn't really there. So imagine a light layer of mud over everything and you've got it.
