The Purple that Wasn't, Cut

[KiwiMoose]

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.

I love the way the glycerin rivers complement the swirls!

Exactly! Like they were meant to be there. Lovely, as usual, KiwiMoose!

An excellent soap! I love everything about it.

Once again you take a project all the way to it's beautiful conclusion, stunning! The glycerin rivers absolutely make it!!

 

[lsg]

Very pretty swirls!

 

[dixiedragon]

VERY beautiful!

love the glycerin rivers. and very nice swirls--I always thought the hanger swirl was meant to be a half hearted thing but I always do it more too and then worry the whole time that I did it too much. i think the hanger swirl is a forgiving swirl

Beautiful! You set the bar so high for the rest of us.

Nicely done. Love the glycerine rivers.

How did you get the lighter reddish color around the darker “lavender?” Is that a really lucky color bleed or a technique?

I’m sorry I cannot reveal my specialist technique.
Lol! It’s a glycerine river!

Hoooooooooow did you get your glycerine rivers to work so well with this swirl?? Lol!

Oh wait...”bar”....you set the “bar.” I’m so “punny.”

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

That's a very attractive glycerin rivered soap. It really sets off the swirl design so well!

I know we probably don't buy our micas in the same place, but I'd switch vendors if my purples were so morphy. Do you have vendors in your area who show what the micas look like in CP soap? If you can find a purple that holds true, it might be worth it even if it's the only color you buy from a different vendor. I'm rather particular about purples, myself.

Get off yer soap box!

Also - it's not a red line i can assure you.

I discovered after wards that they do have a picture of the colour in CP soap ( I wonder if was posted between the time I bought it and the time I looked just yesterday?) and it looks pretty much like the colour that i achieved. They sell another - lighter, brighter purple that I might try next time.

Ok, dont get all worked up into a lather.
