Some soap pics

[Bnky]

I hope these show up, I just read how to post in another thread and thought I would give it a try, although I don't know for sure if I've done it right. All of these are made with EO's & natural colorants, so they are not nearly as vivid and colorful as the others I have seen on here

This is lavender, colorant is alkanet root

This is honey oatmeal, natural color

This is citrus, anatto seeds (this was really nice, but scent faded)

This is rosemary powder and poppy seeds

This is ground walnut shell powder

This is turmeric powder, paprika powder and poppy seeds

Thanks twilight. I am terrible taking pictures, they are all blurry. I am going to attempt some swirls or funnels in my next batch; everyone always has such pretty soaps with those methods.

It looks like you've done great things with natural sources. Good job!

Those look very, very nice! I love them.

Thank you, I am still working on finding more vivid natural colorants.

Bnky your soaps are great! I love natural looking soaps. My first love!
You can get a deeper lemony yellow using a bit more annatto,& madder root gives a really pretty dusky pink.And if you can get your hands on some unrefined palm oil(it's orange,but called red palm),I do about 10% total oils of it & get a sunset colour(any more gives sunset coloured facewashers tho..)

I like the colors of your soaps! I think they are lovely.

I love the color of your soaps. So natural looking. I think some of my best are the ones that I didn't really have to fool with. I seem to be color challenged anyway. Lovely soap, Bnky.

Thank you for the compliments. I am going to try swirling with natural colors, but I haven't seen any that look as good as the dyes. If anyone has any suggestions on swirling with natural colorants, please let me know.
