This is WSP spiced pumpkin , I am lovin this scent . I am not sure why it is pale orange , the FO maybe ?

The swirls didn't come through , I don't think I will try mica in soap anymore

Cheers

Pretty soap!..even if it's not what you were going after. I'm swirl-challenged, but have an idea for next weekend.
Put two cardboard dividers in a log mold lengthwise, making 3 thin sections. Make 2 colors of soap. Alternate colors in each section, so they are layered.
Lift up the cardboard without disturbing the soap much. Then swirl with a BIG rod (about 1/2" diameter...all the way to the bottom and hopefully my pattern will look like your pattern looks on top (pretty).

Mold would look like this:
L = light color
D = dark color

I think your soaps look very pretty! When you look at the sides they sort of look like sand art

You're right! I was thinking desert mountain.

Looks yummy ! Agree with the mountain look, kinda like grand canyon.
All my recent soaps have gotten thick was fast so todays swirl ended up in two layers with probably no swirl. Next batch am not using stick blender.

It is like pumpkin pie but a tad spicier smelling .I really like it .I haven't smelled another one so I could be very biased :wink:

Have you tried adding the FO to your oils before the lye ? I have tried it the last 3 batches and I am loving the result.

Ohhhhh....how pretty! The body of the soap looks like a landscape portrait. I see mountains in a desert at sunset. You are such an artist! I wish I could smell it. I bet the spiced pumpkin is absolutely perfect for how it looks.

I love your soap, and do see swirls, but not the mica ones, I'm guessing? Anyway, great bars!

 

[Rosey]
