Chocolate coconut

[Obsidian]

This is one of THOSE batches, nothing about this soap is the way I planned except for colors.
Its a new recipe, one of those "I'm running out of supplies but I know I can make a good recipe" soaps.
Scented with coconut FO which discolors, I did use TD to try and keep it a bit lighter. The plan was for a light base with chocolate colored hearts on the surface but that wasn't to be.
The scent is just weird too, I used 20% of very scented coco butter and some has remained. A bit different mixed with coconut. At least its pretty.

I should have taken pics while the base was still white, it was even prettier.

This makes me wish I used a log mold.

They look good enough to eat! I tied hearts on top before. The batter got so thick I ended up with very ugly blobs. Yours look like lovely swirls.

I have the opposite problem, my batter is always too thin for hearts. I'll eventually get it right.

Your soap is very pretty. The fragrances may blend and mellow over time.

It came out pretty! I see a heart on the first picture - bottom right side!

What did you use for the brown colourant? It's lovely!

Was this a hanger swirl? I really like the pattern, would love to hear how you created it!

I used brown oxide for color, it bleeds a little but its so pretty I don't mind. This was made in a slab mold, the swirls inside was made by pouring a little brown with the white while thin, I didn't use anything to swirl. The top was done by pouring strips of brown then swirling with a chopstick.
The scent has mellowed out, its more chocolaty now.

It looks great.
