Last week I tried my hand at whipped soap. I had success in that A) It's soap (non zappy & hard) and B) it floats. The failure came on the creative side of the equation. Since the soap was supposed to be for my girl children and a few friends that also have girl children, I wanted to color the soap purple to go with the sweet pea FO I used. I know whipped soap automatically transmutes any color to a pastel but apparently I didn't use enough colorant because you can barely tell it's colored. I don't even know if it will show up in the picture below. Of course it wasn't until after I finished that I found that even in normal CP, people have found that they need to use more of the violet ultramarine to get a good purple. The second part of the failure was my use of flower shaped cavity molds. I thought I did a good job of getting the soap into all of the cavity but apparently I failed at that. Oh well. I won't be sending them out as I thought. More soap for my girls I guess!
