The next weekend, I tried the swirl technique again. i made the classic, Olive, Coconut and Palm oil base for the oils, and I used rain water for the lye mixture. I divided the batch of soap equally into 3 Pyrex measuring cups.
I coloured one blue, one purple, and left the last one uncoloured. The scent I chose was Dreamweaver fragrance oil, one that I won as a prize at the Handcrafted Soapmakers Guild conference. I thought the colours would make it dream like. I also had blue left over from last weeks blueberry soap, so I used it here.
I poured the soap into the juice cans, alternating the colour each time.
I got some interesting results.
I poured until all the measuring cups were empty.
The next day I cut the soaps, and was very pleased with the results.
I love how this is turning out, only one problem, I'm running out of orange juice cans!
