Purple petals in snow

[zeoplum]

The purple was a floral blend that didn't come out right so I shaved it up and put it in this white soap (1.5 tsp TD ppo) that is scented with Bramble Berry's Fresh Snow.

I'm happy with it enough to actually post the picture! Thanks for looking.

Very pretty. How heavy of a trace do you need to pour at in order to get those shavings to stay suspended in the soap?

 

[zeoplum]

Thanks. I brought it to a medium-thick trace.

Zeo what did you use to colour the purple?
I have all sorts of trouble with purple, I can never get it quite right, and it always comes out looking really grey.

I got the purple color by using Select Shades from Tradewinds. I debated long and hard before ordering from them because of the "issues" they've been having (you can read about it on other threads I'm sure) but I actually didn't have any problems with receiving my order. The price is great and the colors are easy to incorporate. They just take some practice. I was aiming for more of a lavender color so as you can see, I missed.
