Soap Club Challenge #1

Amy Warden's Soap Club Challenge:
Peacock Swirl
 
 I did my very first Peacock Swirl and I had so much fun doing this.  
I used Natures Gardens Mountain Dew FO, and I have to say it smells exactly like the drink.  The FO inspired my color choices (Yellow, Green, White, and Black).  
 
 


 
 Here are some of my cut bars. 
So, my base is a solid green instead of the green/yellow in the pot swirl I original intended.   Even after a year of soaping I still (from time to time) forget to add my fragrance. I guess I still need to master some basics; right? Live and learn! Lol...

2013 Universal Soap Challenge: Columbia

I've participating  in a Soap Challenge on youTube.  Its called "2013 Universal Soap Challenge".  It's a year long challenge where each month you select a country while blindfolded and you soap something that best represents that country.  For January I got Columbia. 

 I used a coffee lye solution with freshly ground coffee; and a Dark Chocolate Fragrance Oil.  I used Titanium Dioxide & Activated Charcoal for color and topped it with Pink Sugar Crystals.  It's very yummy smelling; just like a opened candy bar. 

Sorry no making video but my camera died.  Enjoy!!!

Andromeda Soap

This is one of my favorite color combos, pink & yellow.  I used a pomegranate fragrance oil, but it's not too strong.  I will know in the future to use more fragrance.  Enjoy!



Cosmos Soap

This is an unscented soap with no added coloring.   I did do things different and use carrot puree mix.  However, I did add glitter and sugar sprinkles on top for decoration; these normally wash off after 1 or 2 usages.   Enjoy!
