You are too kind!

I cut the soap today, and it does indeed look MUCH better than I was afraid it would. I left the soda ash on top because it looks like falling snow on a gray winter day. (Here in western Montana we have no snow with none in the forecast before Christmas.) I went ahead and cut some sample size bars for the nurse's gift basket.
One week into cure, the green indigo has faded significantly.😞 I'm glad I added some activated charcoal and pink clay to the indigo colors so there will still be a little swirl when the green is completely gone.

The faded bar is the same one on the left in the original picture.

It's still very pretty though!
 
Part of my lineup for gift giving this year includes a set of simple beer soaps made using craft beers that were leftover from my retirement party in late October. The green one is my favorite. I had no choice but to call it ‘tis the Saison because it’s made with a Belgian-style saison ale and scented with a @Zing EO blend that is perfect for the holiday season.

Very pretty. Is it an "in the pot" swirl ?
