Fresh cut grass

[Ant]

I wanted to post this pic of this batch of soap for the attempted technique. Has anyone else tried it this way? I used fresh cut grass from nature's garden. With a homemade wood loaf mold and brambleberrys multi pour tool dividers. I did four colors instead of 3 like in the video but same process as her. Mad micas snow white, tennis yellow, flash dance, and envy.



Mine didn't quite come out like hers, I poured mine when the batter was at a thinner trace, probably between thin and medium. I think if I had waited longer there would have been more color definition with the "grass" and less color mixing happening. Will attempt it again.

Oooo.. I like it!

Fantastic!

After watching that video, it finally clicked into place what I have been doing wrong with my swirls.

Thank you! I knew I should have waited to pour until it thickened more but I got impatient. Todd, pouring too thin or how its cut?

I pour the colors to soon and they get lost in the un-colored portion and so I don't get the swirls like she gets.

Yeah, I still struggle with getting the right consistency, usually too thin or so thick all I can do is spoon it in.

@Ant You may not have done it "just right" but I sure like the results. I will have to study the vid a bit more...it might make me braver about swirls and colors and such.

Give it a whirl I had a lot of fun trying to recreate it. And liked choosing the color combination.
