Old Lady Lavender

[Soapy Gurl]

Oh is that a pretty soap! The purple is gorgeous. I love a nice lavender EO, I have a french one that is to die for. It wasn't even that expensive. I do not like the FOs, they smell like little old ladies!

That looks good enough to eat! I love lavender EO but not FO.

Thanks for such encouraging comments

I used a liquid colour I purchased from a store here in Australia.
I was worried at first, as when I mixed the swirling portion with the colourant, it was an ugly shade of grey!! But rather than waste it, I soldiered on. It started out as grey, then went a bluish purple and then to this colour that reminds me too, of mulberry. I'm hoping it won't change upon cure.

Lovely soap Dotty, I think you'll have to do an ITM swirl with a coathanger to get it in the middle. I like lavender but I'm not a LOL yet( I HOPE). My liquid colour came form Heirloom but its not that deep fushia colour like yours - who did you get yours from please.

Hey Relle,
I have realised that my batter was at too thick of a trace. I poured my 'white' and then from a high level, I poured the purple down the centre. I did use a coathanger, but obviously it was too thick, and raised most of it to the surface.
My liquid is from Heirloom too.

Looks good enough to eat! I am not a lav fan but make it for my neighbor.. People really seem to like it. I have a difficult time though making soap that I don't like...

Your oils must have changed the purple colour because mine turn out that lavender shade or probably its the amount you put in. Would love mine to turn out like that.
