Show ~n~ Tell Challenge - Soap Inspired by a Song From The Year You Were Born

[MaitriBB]

Um, yeah, the title of the thread kinda says it all

I made a soap inspired by the song "Midnight Blue" by Melissa Manchester (1975). I was going to try a zebra swirl but failed miserably. However, it was a successful use of tussah silk for the first time and CPOP as well. It was oily when it first came out of the mold, but it's perfect now! The scent is White Tea & Ginger because I like the unexpected (delicate scent with dramatic color)

Beautiful!

It turned out gorgeous! I don't think I know that song, I'll have to go have a listen.

Gorgeous blues!! Tell us more - did you use oxides?

One more time for all the old times .... Loved that song.

Two different micas from The Conservatorie, along with some gel blue colorant when I couldn't get the dark blue that I wanted, and some activated charcoal for good measure. Couldn't duplicate it again if I tried!

I didn't see the challenge until now... I wonder if I can come up with anything with my *very* limited supplies, lol! Oh, and the "Midnight Blue" Soap is gorgeous.

 

[AngelMomma]

I LOVE the blue!

I hope to post mine within the week.

Here's mine. 1955, Tutti Frutti from Little Richard. Embeds from a batch that I thought no one would like.

 

[Hazel]

That's beautiful! Did you scent it?

So far, my soap isn't behaving. The color was perfect in my opinion but they fell apart when I removed them from the mold. That's what I get for experimenting. I redid them yesterday and I'm hoping one stays together long enough so I can get a pic. :roll:

Great midnight blue color.
Deep and moody, perfect for that song!

1966 ~ Good Vibrations

The fragrance I used was BB Energy.
The colors also came from BB: Electric Bubble Gum, Fizzy Lemonade, and Ultramarine Blue.

Fun!

After unmolding.

Sorry, it wouldn't let me upload both pictures at the same time!

 

[Badger]

Wow! These are awesome! I love the colors in "Good Vibrations" and while I am not sure what the Energy scent is like, it certainly fits the soap and song "Tutti Fruiti" is wonderful as well; I love the way it looks like waves of blue and white with the embeds contrasting with sharp lines *cheers*

 

[Hazel]

Good Vibrations is wonderful! You did an excellent job with coloring & swirling.

Talented group here. All look awesome!

1970 - Moondance by Van Morrison. I tried to get a skyscape, don't know whether I succeeded, but I think it turned out ok! The little white specks are meant to be stars! I scented it with "Love Spell" as I thought it fit the mood of the song! :wink:
