2lilboots soaps again

@Elise the Pink Sugar FO is known to darken quite a bit.

This is the Pink Sugar soap from post #95 after sitting on the curing racks for a couple days. I will steam off the soda ash once it finishes curing.

Oh ~ the one that was yellow! How/why did it change to brown? Was that from a FO?

Oh, snap! Fantastic, as usual, @2lilboots

 

[2lilboots]

@AliOop and @dmcgee5034 thank you. I was not sure how the colors would mix and feared I would swirl too much. But, it surprised me.

A mix of Fresh Cut Roses and Fresh Raspberry NG FOs. It accelerated and riced a bit. First time using the True Red mica from Mad Micas along with some other Micas. Happy how the colors came out.

Your swirl game is on point and the colors are fantastic!

Agree! Ditto and double jinx, @AliOop !
Lovely as usual, @2lilboots

@2lilboots This is so great, thanks for the informative posts. I've used the pink sugar and mine changes to brown also. It went from vibrant pink raspberry to brown with a pinkish tint.

Question: When you use vibrant colors, like the blue in post #98, do you get blue bubbles when washing? I used black recently and realized it makes black bubbles!

 

[2lilboots]

@MomInWA when I use a FO that discolors, I pull out some soap batter before adding the fo so I can put Micas in that.

No, no blue bubbles. I don't notice colors in the suds when using Micas.

 

[AliOop]

^Same. I get black or grey suds from activated charcoal or black oxide, but not black mica.

O Christmas Tree O Christmas Tree! Ok, this was Berry Merry Christmas FO from NG. Walmart silicone molds. Several green micas and a white mica. The tiny trees are a mold from hobby lobby. They smell great.

 

[2lilboots]

I didn't have enough tree molds, so I used the flower molds from hobby lobby to use up my excess batter.
