Here is my plan, White"ish" as I can get it with titanium dioxide on bottom, black with activated charcoal on the bottom. I want a mild swirl design in the center of the loaf combining the black and white with light streaks. I will be trying Eucalyptus & Spearmint* FO 101 from WSP.
My plan is to mix the batch with lye and FO, then separate and color each half accordingly. Then pour each color and try to keep the black above the white without mixing them. Then probably using a coat hanger to create a somewhat delicate, basic swirl.
The recipe is as follows:
30% Palm Oil
25% Olive Oil
25% Coconut Oil 76*
15% Palm Kernel Oil
5% Castor Oil
5% Super fat
38% water
1.25 oz FO
I'm not sure of the amounts of Titanium Dioxide and activated charcoal yet, gotta do more research.
What can I do to buy myself the most amount of time while separating the batch and coloring it? I know its probably risky using a new FO and colors that I've never used before to try this, but if any of your experiences can help me I would appreciate it. This will be only my third batch and I want to try something a little more challenging. Thanks for your help.
