Lemon Sugar Bar colored with Annatto seeds spoon swirled

[moosie]

Here is the soap I made last weekend. I tried my new bramble berry mold I got from the sale I also tried a fragrance oil for the first time, lots of firsts this go around. My bar took a little longer to harden enough for me to want to handle and it also was a little oily and had some small bubble holes on the sides. Its much better now so I'm not sure if that was a fragrance oil by product or something I did wrong.

The FO is lemon sugar from Camden Grey, I think it smells like dish soap

On to the photos. These are indoor shots I still need to get some better lighting shots for these but I really want to share now.

I also posted about it on my blog:

i think they look gorgeous! and the scent may morph and calm down as the soap cures, so even if you dont like it now, you might in a few weeks

Thank you so much for the nice comments

I love the color . I did sprinkle sugar on top for fun last minute
Wasn't sure what it would do but thought it would be kinda cool since the scent was lemon sugar

So cute and the swirls really turned out!

Did you use the anatto as an infusion and added it to part of the oil? or did you add the spice directly?

I have swirl envy....

I infused the seeds in a portion of the olive oil in a mini crockpot, strained and then added it to my soap.

I used the tutorial on soap making resource

Such beautiful soap! Love your colours and swirls and it does look good enough to eat. Hopefully the smell will change as the soap cures.

Thank You everyone! I have all my recent soaps curing together and its so beautiful! I had a bit of a failure with the salt soap I made the week after this. I didn't make anything this weekend but maybe something new to share next week

They are gorgeous!! The sugar on top was a very nice touch it makes them look just yummy!

 

[brewsie]

yum. thats a brilliant golden color and the swirls are fabulous. the smell might calm down as it cures... or i find a lemon EO is sweet enough to impart the lemon sugar scent
