You know how you get a craving for a certain food? Sometimes I get that way with color. All of a sudden I need to have something with that color in my life. A shirt, scarf or even a bar of soap! This week I needed something pink. Which I find rather amusing as I am not a major fan of pink. I wanted something soft, light and delicate in color. Come join me as we satisfy this need for an adorable and gentle pink soap.
In this soap, I attempted to create a swirl. It didn’t work so well. If you want to attempt a swirl, you may attempt one however if I were to make this again I would just make the entire soap pink instead of doing a swirl. However, this decision is up to you.
I would really like to master the skill of swirling. Do you have any thoughts, ideas or tips so that we all can become master swirl makers? Better yet, if you have any photos, please share them so we can all work on our swirling skills. I am so excited to see what everyones thoughts are! Are you ready for this adventure?

Recipe
Weigh the white melt and pour soap into a microwave safe container. Heat gently until completely liquid. Add the Amethyst Pink Color, Rosalie Fragrance Oil and Iridescent Glitter. Stir well, making sure everything is completely incorporated. Pour into a mold and allow to cool completely. Once the soap has completely cooled, remove from mold and cut the soap. Enjoy!

How about swirling gently in pot or bowl and pour with a spoon. Hope that works for you!
I haven’t tried swirling yet, I’m a bit nervous to try it! But there are a few youtube videos that have helped me get an idea of how it’s done…

I watched these with the sound down and you can still get a really good idea of what they’re doing. Very cool!
