The Purple that Wasn't, Cut

Ok, dont get all worked up into a lather.

you're just awash with funny-isms aren't you?

@Primrose - I think the soaping Gods decided they were sorry and have come back to guide me again

No, around each dark patch, there is a thin red line about 1mm thick. That’s not glycerine, surely.

Up close it looks like the gelled pink part? Could explain why you're seeing red, when it's just a darker pink?

Can't explain why there, and why the rest of the pink is glycerin river-y, with the purple having less, unless KiwiMoose used two different water amounts... It has to do with the way temps go up and down depending on the water and which part of the soap is touching the other. Auntie Clara's site has several pages of glycerin rivers experimentation, very fascinating read..

Regardless, it’s beautiful. How was that for first hanger swirl? What do you usually use, a magic wand?

Pretty pleased with this. Although the purple mica did turn out a little grey-ish, I had the foresight to add a little bit of pink to ALL the batter before splitting off to add the purple. It now looks a little bit like a pale lavender colour with the pale pink, so I'm happy with that. It's also the first time I've done a 'proper' hanger swirl - as in I swirled the bejeezus out if it, instead of doing a half hearted attempt.

As usual - glycerin rivers galore, but I like the way they kind of 'outline' the pattern.

These are beautiful

Thanks Sista! Unfortunately this was my Ylang Ylang EO and Daphne FO scent fail - as in BOTH of them faded away to absolutely nothing after 4 weeks cure. Will need to be rebatched :-(
