Happy accident soap

[lathered_up]

I had planned a totally different design for this batch, but my soap was getting too thick, so I had to switch gears quickly. I thought "oh well, it will be okay even things didn't go as planned." Well, I have to say that I am pleasantly surprised with the way it turned out. Looks kind of like a yin yang to me. It's fragranced with Spiced Mahogany from BB.

Good colors for this season. What do you think of the spiced mahogany? I've had my eye on it.

That looks nice. I made soap today myself but I really shouldn't have. I'd be lucky if that ugly mess came out better looking than I think it would. At least it will be a good soap.

I love happy accidents. The soap looks great.

Thanks! I'm always happy when I end up with happy accident batched. Spiced Mahogany. It smells warm and sensual with a spicy sweetness. It sticks forever and lingers on the skin for a while. I usually use it at around 3-3 1/2 % in my batches. Accelerates a little, and discolor to a brownish-tan but is manageable. My batch got too thick because I was using a high amount of castor oil and cocoa butter. So glad this batch doesn't belong to the re-batch / fugly club .

My planned soaps don't turn out looking that nice! Beautiful!

That looks lovely! There's no reason anyone has to know if that isn't what you'd originally planned.

That looks exactly as though it was intended and really fits the fragrance. I haven't soaped it yet but love it in B&B.
