6 color swirl in the pot

Well, I believe in stretching my wings every chance I get....so I attempted for the first time a 6 color ITP swirl. I made mistakes of course.......when I took out the batter to mix my colors (this was a 2-pound loaf) there wasn't much left in the bucket; at this point I should have poured my remaining batter into a smaller container so I had some depth to pour my colors into, but I didn't...so, I didn't get as much swirling and color dispersal as I would have liked. I used the pop micas from TKB Trading...they certainly do pop! I warn you, the color in this pic is loud. I did a CP no gel (as soon as I mixed the colors and finished messing with the batter I covered with saran wrap and put in the fridge for 18 hours). I find that if I don't allow it to get to the gel stage my colors don't morph as much; the tradeoff is that it will eat some of your fragrance. Anyway, here 'tis....enjoy!

I originally thought I'd name it Rockstar Dropped Acid but on reflection it has a Key West look to it...maybe I'll name it Jimmy Buffet instead. If you have a suggestion on a name I'd enjoy hearing it.

  1. The soap looks great!

    As for names, Rock Star sounds good to me! Just the short name, without the 'dropped acid' part but that's just me =)
