Its is Valentine's Day and what else to do but come up with a Rocking, Pink, Romantic Soap. That is the vision...how it ended up in the end it's another story! :o)
I have been admiring all these soaps with delicate swirls. The soap base would be a solid white or cream color and there would be a couple of delicate swirls, dancing on the top. I can't seem to come close to that technique. I get carried away with my color and before you know it I have all these out of control swirls. I just need to figure out how to be a little conservative with my color! Especially with my reds and pinks!
I really like the play of the gold within the pink/red. I read in a blog that the soaper was really happy with the 14K Gold Mica that she purchased at TKB Trading, and I remembered that I had some in my color box!
Once again I tried to use embeds on the top. These are suppose to be "Hearts"...but according to my sister-in-law they look more like "Teeth Retainers" :o/...
Maybe next time I will try to position them differently.
If you are wondering which fragrance I used, I tried a new fragrance from Rustic Escentuals, Mediterranean Garden. It has a very nice light floral fragrance to it and it performed really well. I am glad I was able to pick up a good supply since I purchased it on Clearance and it looks like they are now discontinued.
I have a long holiday weekend coming up and I am hoping to do some more soaping!
Thanks for checking out my blog!
HAPPY SOAPING!

I know what you mean with those thin and delicate swirls. I can´t get them either :) I just use way too much colored soap. But I like this strong pink you got in this soap. It is one of my favorite colors.
ReplyDeleteSo very pretty Roxana, I love the way the gold is still shimmery on the top of this soap. You always get such gorgeous bold colors, and I love your swirls just the way they are!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful soaps Roxana! I say if you're a colour gal you should embrace that part of you. :) The pink and gold are so gorgeous together. Your hearts look way better than the retainers I used to have to wear. ;)
ReplyDeleteThat bold pink and gold are GORGEOUS together! Your swirl is perfect. I love TKB's 14k gold too. It's the best one I've used. The gold is so sparkly in cp soap :0)
ReplyDeleteReally pretty swirls Roxana - I love that you use plenty of colour - a great Valentine's soap!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful swirls, Roxana! Perfect for Valentine's Day. Sometimes I hold back too much colored soap for my swirls, too, like I'm afraid of running out. Especially when I'm using a slab mold - I always think I need more than I actually do. I think your swirls are wonderful, though. The pink and gold are so pretty together. I don't think it's too much at all!
