Teach Soap

I am such a procrastinator. Here it is a week and a half from my first festival and I am nowhere near ready I still have 55 candles, 40 lip balms, 85 body butters, 40 liquid soaps, 30 bath truffles, and 12 bath salts to go not to mention package all my soaps. So what do I decide to do yesterday? Make soap....... I know I should have worked on this stuff instead however my new soap mold and soap cutter came last week and have been sitting in my living room screaming my name! This is the biggest batch of soap I have made to date ( 10lbs. ) and I wanted to try out the mica's that came with them so I did a 6 color ITP swirl ( also a first ). Since I didnt really have any FO's that went with all the colors I just started throwing some in there. Its a combo of BB's Yuzu and Crisp Apple Rose with AHRE Forbidden Fruit. Its smells absolutely DELICIOUS! Im not really sure what to call this soap so some suggestions would be greatly appreciated haha! This soap was really soft when I unmolded however I think it was from the extra water I used to mix my mica's. I LOVE this mold! Its my first silicone lined mold. It went through a full gel on its own ( I usually CPOP to make sure ) however since the lids are clear I was able to leave it on the stove and just watch it. With my regular wood molds I used to have to put them in a room by themselves cause I was always worried the cat would knock the lid off but with these I love how they slide in the little groove and the cat cant get them off. Well anyway here are the pics

Very pretty! Nice molds. I haven't gotten brave enough to do six colors yet and especially since I was having so many problems with my batters. But now that is fixed (I hope) maybe I will get brave like you. Great job!

Very pretty soaps! Wish I could smell them as well. The first name that popped in my head was kaleidoscope.
Now start on those other projects so you don't have to pull an all nighter right before the festival!

Nice soaps! I do an 8 colour swirl that I call kaleidosoap! Holly at Missouri River asked if I minded sharing the name, and I totally don't hehe. Feel free to use that if you like, it certainly suits your soap! <3

Beautiful swirl soap!! May I inquire, where did the molds come from?

Beautiful soap! Congratulations on the new mold and good luck with your craft fair! It sure is a busy time of year.
