Do you guys think the soap have some flower looking designs on them? I made this for Amy Warden's soap challenge for April which is "flower power" - flower designs on soap. Most members of a facebook soapmaking group said that they see pansies. So this would be my official entry.
I happened upon the soaprecipe101 website and found a Tea Tree Soap Recipe which caught my eye. Since I already have all the oils needed and a bottle of tea tree essential oil which is still waiting to be use, I went on and played with this.
The recipe includes Olive oil, Coconut oil, Sweet Almond oil, Avocado oil and my added twist of Jojoba oil and Rice Bran oil. Fragranced with Tea Tree essential oil and Lavender 40/42.

Colorants used were Activated Charcoal for black, Woodland Green, deep purple, titanium dioxide and stained glass yellow.
This project is supposed to be my version of the video below:
As you can see, I still have a long way to go to even come close to what she did. But I still will share my video below just because I have it. The camera stopped before I said my goodbyes. I apologize for that. I will try to keep the video short next time so the camera won't quit on me.
Happy Soaping!!!
Yes, I see beautiful flowers in the soap! Good job!
ReplyDeleteThank you Ewenique.
DeletePretty flowers ! I like your color combination.
ReplyDeleteThank you Pooja. Got the colors right but definitely need more practice with the design.
DeleteWell, of course I see flowers!! They turned out great! I remember being mesmerized the first time I saw that video...it's definitely not her first time making that design! I hope this challenge has stretched your imagination and you'll make more lovely floral designed soaps. :)
ReplyDeleteShe did a very good job with her video and music choice. Soapers like you and Lucie are great inspirations Amy. Thank you very much hosting the challenges. It really helps inspire and motivate us to practice and learn more from each other.
DeleteWow, this is simply beautiful and inspiring...
ReplyDeleteThank you Janet.
DeleteBeautiful soap and I love all the yummy oils you used!!!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to try and see how the soap will feel on skin once it's cure and all.
DeleteOh so pretty! Nice job. They look like little impressionist paintings. And the oil blend sounds really nice.
ReplyDeleteThank you Katrina. It was fun watching Lucie's video and trying to make it my own.
DeleteBeautiful soap. I think the flowers are perfect just the way they turned out, it does feel impressionist.
ReplyDeleteThank you Coqui. There really are a lot of potential creating soap designs and recipes. It is great fun.
