I like to start early for Christmas.. So here are a couple, styles for the season..

First My Kaolin Candy Cane, Peppermint. Then my Winter night Facial bar with Activated Charcoal and Bentonite Clay. Scented with Gardenia & Sandalwood.

Third is what I did before the first two.. I did a scent test and found that Sandalwood would seize the batter within 1-2 min. So I used it in the winter scene for the bottom layer to firm it up. After I pored the bottom layer, I put in the Sandalwood scent, quickly mixed. Then I was able to run my scrape template for the hills with water cut out. Then I put in the blue water added the Sandalwood scent again and quickly mixed as it was firming up. Then I could put in the moon (from a previous pore into a 3/4" pipe.. Then was able to pore the rest without waiting do to the quick set up of the bottom layers..

This scent test below you can see how quick #2 Sandalwood seized up.. (The photo was taken at Gel phase)
