Hi Dora ~ Thank you for watching my video and your sweet comment. I haven't had the swirls described as magical before. You put a big smile on my face! :) ione
Hi Hilary ~ Thank you for watching my video and your thoughtful comment. I appreciate it very much! To answer your question, floral fragrances are tricky. I have one from Oregon Trails that is really nice called La Fleur. It doesn't accelerate and smells lovely. I also get Confederate Jasmine there. Gardenia from Keystone Candle is great and Lavender essential oil (Now and BB brands) always behave. One thing I do is pour off spot colors before the soap comes to trace, at emulsification, color everything then add the fragrance. Wait a couple minutes, and if the soap still isn't traced, stick blend just for a second. I hope this helps and happy soaping! :) ione
Hi Susan ~ Thank you for watching my video and your nice comment. I used a fragrance oil that slows trace, giving me plenty of time for this design. :) ione
Thank you for watching my video and your nice compliment. I used 7 ounces of each color in this design. I had a total batch weight of 5 lbs. 5 ounces. You will need to use a conversion table to figure the grams. Happy soaping! :) ione
