Making Pomegranate Lime Champagne cold process soap (using 10 different mica colors)

Показать описание
I started thinking about the things that start to appear in the fall. To me its the chilly air in the morning, the leaves turning color, pumpkins and Halloween. Before adding to my fragrance collection I found a bottle of pomegranate fragrance. I've been shy about using it since it does discolor a bit. But the colors of the beautiful fruit captured my imagination. I thought about other fragrances that would mix well with pomegranate and give me some inspiration for coloring this soap. I could have combined a variety of red barring the fact that too much red in a soap can increase the amount of red in the rinse water. Aha! It dawned on me that I could incorporate some champagne fragrance. That would suggest the addition of a orangey gold. Then the scent of lime came to mind, which would add a wonderful zest to the scent and give me a reason to add green to the design.

I know that having variations of particular color could add more depth to the design. Before I knew it, I was working with 10 different mica colors! Drop swirls to echo the idea of falling leaves became my plan. Will the soap look too busy with all those color? Will I be able to work with mixing up 10 soap colors end up disastrous due to the work time involved and having to end up glopping the soap in the mold? I'll have to work quickly. This video will answer those questions.

Thanks for sticking with me as I encounter round after round of tech problems. I'm a resilient fellow, so doing something about the camera, in this case order new camera memory cards, and changing my web host company makes me feel that all is not hopeless. And, yes! I've got all of you to boost my spirits too! I hope that you'll check out my new webstore when it's set up.

Say hello on instagram too! You can find it by searching for vibrant soap.

Hope this longish commentary finds you well. It's you all who keep my creative endeavors going. Reach out and comment when you can and I do appreciate the thumbs up. Take care!

Sooo pretty!! Love how the colors all show on their own, not one takes over as the star. The top swirls are gorgeous, the copper is almost anitqued. Stunning and I bet it smells amazing ❤

Reminds me of Spumoni ice cream, which is one of my favorites. I’m glad you’re feeling better by the time you get to the cut. Take time if you need it. Get help if you need it. We are with you and want to see you happy and healthy, first and foremost. Hang in there, you are loved.

The colours turned out so well, the soap looks gorgeous, the copper really sets it off i think, great edition, even the ombre is a happy accident.

Love all the color in this! Does it scream fall to me? No. But it is certainly a beautiful bar!

A beautiful soap as always, love the colour combination. These times are hard for us and all it's so important to talk about how we are feeling, it really helps. Hugs to you and your parents! Thank goodness you were joking about skipping the cut, lol! That part is so part of the soap journey. Thanks for sharing!!!

The inside reminds me of rainbow sherbet...love the colors and design. These are difficult times for sure... I write sayings on my mirror when I am discouraged and my favorite which is on my mirror now is...this too shall pass. Hopefully you are able to share video calls with your parents. I am sure they are missing seeing you as well. We love you out here in soaping land and am praying for your problems to seize...not your soap :) just your problems. Have a great day.

It turned out wonderful! I'm so happy you did two different frangrances in different colors, I was just wondering why we never see that in any of the soap making channels to avoid discoloring.

Very lovely soap bar, thanks for sharing. I just started doing cold process soap making, i found your videos very inspiring. I also use creative and art works as stress outlet from my work, just like what you mentioned in one of your videos. Painting, jewellery making, and now soap making (so far only for my own use and gifts for friends and family), gave me so much joy. So thanks again for sharing this, will try this design myself sometime!
