Japanese Cherry Blossom

I just cut my Japanese Cherry Blossom soap. Really happy with the colors.

How did you do that swirl? It's beautiful.

I poured the darker pink and black in the middle from on high, then I used a chopstick to get in there and sort of flick out some parts. Kind of like this video:

And I'll say it again.......beautiful

I really LOVE this! I have been wanting to do a pink/black design. This has inspired me

 

[danahuff]

It's the first time I've used black. I like the way it turned out with the light and dark pinks.

When I first cut it, there was some odd discoloration, but I decided that once it was exposed to the air, it would right itself, and it did.

This is beautiful! I love it, so pretty! Did you use the WSP scent?

 

[danahuff]

Actually, no, I used Bramble Berry's. I like it, though it is not an exact dupe of BBW. I had heard that NG's version faded (at least that's what the reviews said). I haven't ever ordered from WSP.

Thanks!

This is Bramble Berry's black oxide.

Absolutely stunning! I love pink soap and your bars are just heavenly.

Do you know where she got the clear plastic measuring cup/small pouring pitcher in this vid? I see a lot of soapers use them but I haven't been successful in finding them myself.

That's a stunner, for sure! Nice work!

the lye pitcher is just a plastic measuring cup. I am guessing a dollar store

No, but try Amazon. They have some big pitchers and measuring cups.

Thanks, everyone, for all your kind words! I was excited to see how these would come out, and I was pleased with them.

Thanks for sharing. Your soap turned out beautiful so you've inspired me to try something similar tomorrow.
