So I had the absolute work week from hades and was feeling totally despondent last night, and with a batch of lye and oils that I knew I had screwed up to boot. I figured I had nothing to lose, and with some math backtracking managed to fix the quantities. My first two tiger swirl attempts were fails, pretty in their own way but not what I was aiming for. This one is a beginner's effort, but I'm pleased with its simplicity. The first pic is the sturm and drang I was feeling, the second an attempt at restoring order to my chaotic life these days ![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
The fragrance: Daystar's Belle Morte, one of my forever favorite FOs. The colors: Rose clay with some BB Pink Bubblegum, a purple mica from theconservatory.com, and activated charcoal. The name: Wings of a Raven.
Definitely not perfect. It set up on me really fast, and obviously I hadn't completely blended everything, so have white flecks. Oh well, I learned a lot from this attempt.
