This is my first try at building my recipe around a Lye concentration of 33%. I poured at a medium trace. Which I have never done before, I always poured at a slight trace(which I think was one of my problems). I used Lavender Essential Oil and purple POP mica. And I sprayed the top with alcohol. This is the "look" I was going for(well, I think it is...we'll see when I unmold).

I just want to thank everyone here again! Without this forum, I would be lost!

Very pretty! I love the purple you got. Please post picks out of the mold; I would love to see them.
 
I made a lavender with the purple POP mica from TKB & must say it is gorgeous!! Yours lookes lovely and I love the swirls on top! I have found I like pouring at a medium trace instead of light so I can do fun stuff on the top as well.
 
Okay, here's the Lavender. I just love how these turned out!

And then this is the second batch.

I'm so excited...this is the look I was going for!
 
I really like the texture on the top! Did you do that with a wisk? Looks great!

Yes, I used a whisk on the purple one. The other I just used a small wooden dowel to swirl it around until I was happy with it.

Thanks everyone :)
