I used something called Forest Fruits from Funwithsoap (Its a South African Company) - it's delicious like a cherry Pineapple with coconut - if that makes any sense - the only other way I could describe the scent is a tropical daiquiri or a singapore slinger ....if you're into cocktails.
BTW - I was just looking at your posts on body butters - is it possible to make body butter with shea butter or cocoa butter and ricebran oil? How do you do that?

Thanks Krissy as well -
I e-learned the layering technique from Anne-marie at SoapQueen.com. It took a couple of tries to get it perfect (the layers were resisting the merge and tended to seperate ) - I then realised that I had to wait less than the 20 minutes between layers as suggested on the site, and pour a little hotter

As long as you mist each layer heabvily w/ rubbing alcohol & pour your next layer before the alcohol evaporates, they should stick fine. Alcohol acts as a glue w/ M&P.
I make my body butters 3 parts sheae & 1 part oil of your choice. Coco butter is hard so if you add cocoa butter you will need to increase the oil content.

Oh My! they are absolutely gorgeous :shock:
Kudos and pats on the back to you
Might I ask what kind of colorants you used?

those are friggin awesome, Tin!! Wow! those colors are glow-in-the-dark awesome!!
Thanks everyone
Strangely enough - I bought a set of primary colour powder concentrate from Funwithsoap . I blended the colours to make the orange, green and purple and I added zinc oxide to all the colours (cos I read that it is a UV inhibitor). We'll have to see if this makes the colour stay as true. Unfortunately I cannot find non-bleeding colour here in South Africa, this is my way around it.
