March 2018 | Abalone and Sea Real Estate | KCK Soapery

Custom-made soap for a friend who is also a real estate agent here in Midland, Michigan.

She loves the Abalone and Sea fragrance and this is what I came up for her.  I hope she and her clients will like them.  She likes to incorporate the seashells into the soap and I decided to add a small Michigan state design onto the soap as well.

I used my favorite recipe which includes coconut oil, olive oil, rice bran oil, palm oil, mango butter and castor oil.  Fragrance is described as a fresh ocean scent with notes of day lilies, sea spray, watery florals and musk.

Michigan state and the seashells were made using a melt and pour soap base.

Poured white soap batter as base and poured a green and a blue line in the middle.

Covered the lines with white and repeat.

Drizzled the leftover green and blue on top on the white.

Made a swirl using chopstick.

Added the toppings made.

Out of the mold and cut.

Can't wait to show you the second batch I made for my real estate friend!

This was my daughter's color vision.  Her vision was of galaxy and it's a combination of blue, purple and white.

Blue and purple mica and titanium dioxide for white. Scented with Abalone and Sea described as a fresh ocean scent with notes of days lily, sea spray, watery florals, and musk.

Same favorite recipe which includes the following ingredients: Coconut oil, olive oil, rice bran oil, mango butter, palm oil and castor oil.

Poured the white base.

Poured a middle line of purple.

Alternate blue and purple soap batter.

Covered the swirls with white.

Drizzled purple on top of white.

Blue leftover soap batter.

Made a swirl with chopstick.

We were a little worried since the blue seems to overpower the purple.

Off the mold.  The purple is not as prominent but still visible.

Off the mold.

They turned out pretty good!

The design was inspired by the name of the fragrance oil used.  Two shades of  blue and white swirled and textured to look like the sea.

Oils used were the usual, coconut, olive, rice bran, palm, castor and mango butter.

The darker blue have more blue powder.  White is done using titanium dioxide.

Then I alternately poured the different colors in the pot.

Once all the colors were in the pot.  I then poured the soap batter into the mold.

Topped with the darker blue on one side with the white in the middle and the lighter blue on the other side.

Swirled the top using chopsticks.  I could just have stop here, but my vision was for a sea.

So I textured the top with a teaspoon to give the look of waves. 

Off the mold.

Hope you like the final look. 

Thanks for stopping by!
