Peppermint Soap

I love the smell of peppermint.  At present I have two peppermint oils from two sources and they smell so different.  One has a sharper note and the other one is more mellow.

When I think of mint, I usually think of green and so another green soap.  This soap was inspired by a very charming soap, but this turned out so different from what I had aimed for.  Well, keep trying and I will definitely get it right some day.

I love using chlorophyll color for green.  Lesson learned, you need quite a fair bit to make it green, this one is very soft.

Used mica on top for the swirl effect, nice green but does very different.

Swirl in the Mold Part 2

After a few days, I had finally managed to get the soap out of the mold.  I had to put the mold in the freezer for a several hours and then let them thawed, before they would release from the mold.

I did some drawing to go with the how to in the previous post and hope this will make it easier to follow.

1.  Pour the soap in thin line over the base, diagonally all across the mold.  Try not to over the colors.

2.  Then use chopstick to make the swirl by dragging it across the soap, make sure that it goes all the way to the bottom.
