My Mica Swirl for the Soap Works Challenge

[newbie]

I made two but chose the first one to enter. I love this technique because you can see the beauty of the micas. I posted a couple of my old ones too because I love what the mica does for the tops of the soaps. Thank you to Tabitha, I think it was, who told me about this technique a couple years ago. She was ahead of her time! And has always been generous sharing tips and techniques.

That is very, very pretty. Yours came out so beautifully! It looks like Mardi Gras.

And some of them just lose all their glory if mixed into soap. They beg to be shown!

Ooooo, sparkles and swirls!

 

[AngelMomma]

Great job! I love that method too! And I love the color combos against the white soap. It really shows off their beauty with the contrast.

Thank you! I liked that green and gold one too, although I'm from the land of the Packers so I worried it would look too packer-esque. I don't follow football. The only problem with this techniqe is that it only lasts the first couple washes maybe. Ah so brief, the life of these micas!

 

[Badger]

Wow, those are gorgeous soaps! Very impressive!

 

[SoapPapaw]

Great job, Badger. How did you apply the micas? You did see it in a Video?

Thank you! I liked that green and gold one too, although I'm from the land of the Packers so I worried it would look too packer-esque.

LOL The first thing that popped into my mind when I saw your green & gold one was "Ooh, Packer colors"

Very lovely soaps.

I knew it! I planned on ordering more of the green but it's out of stock right now. I am going to make a few bars to give to an auction at my old high school and planned to to do a Packers bar. I wanted to do a leather scent but it looks like they DC to brown. Have to think of a different Packers scent. Anything come to mind immediately, Genny?

How about cheese or bacon.

Anything come to mind immediately, Genny?

Beer?
