Apparently I wasn’t quite ready to let summer go yet, I had
to squeeze in one more summer-inspired soap before I called it quits! All I had
on hand was grape ice-cube molds but with a bit of convincing, I managed to get
the embeds for the top looking like blackberries. This soap contains heavy cream
added at trace, and I used green oxide and ultramarine purple mixed with a tiny
bit of black oxide for the colors. I couldn’t decide whether I wanted to do
swirls or layers, so I decided to just drop the colors in and see what
happened:
Looks great, cute tops! "Just dropping the colors in to see what happens" is by far my favorite design technique, hehe!
ReplyDeleteThanks Laura, lol! It's always fun to cut them open and see what happened :D
DeleteLovely colors! And the blackberries are so cute. But I have to say that the blue colors remind me more of snow and ice.
ReplyDeleteThanks Kirppu, I think maybe I need to ask for a better camera for Christmas...someone else said it looks light blue, which is weird, because I see purple and green...lol!
DeleteThis soap looks wunderful!!! I like the colors very much and the "drop in" turned out really great.
ReplyDeleteAnother gorgeous soap, Cee Gee! I love your drop-in swirls, and the embeds are so cute. I wish I could get my tops to look as pretty as yours. Bravo!
ReplyDeleteThank you Jenny =)
DeleteThis one had been published while I'd been away,but now I found it again,and stopped by just to say that is really beautiful. I like all your soaps, I need to stop saying they are great,I'm repeating myself.
ReplyDeleteI love colours,I'm really suffering from not having all those pigments.
And what I like most about your blog is that you always give us the details on technique and procedure!
I meant 'I love THE colours'!
DeleteThank you so much Maja! I really enjoy sharing my trials and experiments on here, and I really appreciate that you guys all take the time to comment and support my blog! I hope some of the information helps out other soapers too, that's what makes it worthwhile for me :)
DeleteThis soap looks just gorgeous!!! The blue colour looks fresh and creamy, like sweet blueberries.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Vivien, I really appreciate it!
