New Look for a Few of My Soaps

I've been playing around with making soap a lot the past month or so.  I enjoy trying new color techniques and we have amassed quite a bit of soap.  As a result, our business has been giving out small soap samples of some of my earlier soaps to make room for new inventory.

Here is the old version of my Cool Citrus soap.

Here is my new Cool Citrus.  It still has a light green color base, but it has been swirled with a darker green.  Now it has  more eye appeal.

This is my old version of Young Love, a rose scented soap.

The new Young Love has a pink colored base and darker reddish-pink swirls.

Here is my old Georgia Girl, a peachy scented soap.

My new Georgia Girl has a medium peach base color, accented by darker swirls.

All of these new soaps are examples of a two color, in the mold swirl.

Here is Maverick, a new soap I am adding to my inventory.  It has a masculine *manly* scent.

It has a top that was spooned on at a thicker trace and then it was top-swirled in a *frost the cake* sort of method, leaving the bottom layer exposed in places.

Here is an old picture of Summer Sky, a favorite of many of our customers.

Today I gave a new look to Summer Sky.  I colored most of the batch a nice deep sky blue, then spooned on a top layer of white and played with it, giving it a texture much like soft fluffy clouds.  It's still in the mold, so no pictures of the cut soap yet.  But here is one of the soap in the mold.

I will try to add a cut picture of this soap soon.  I'm hoping it turns out like I want. This is an example of a two layered soap.  The first time I tried this technique, I ended up with a huge mess--the two layers separated and a bunch of gooey soft soap ran out everywhere when I cut it.  OOPS!

I am planning to do a hanger swirl soon, probably when I update our soaps, Southern Belle and Florida Sunrise.
