Yesterday's batch

[wearytraveler]

I'm not one to often mess with colors but I have a few mica sample packets and I was in a brave enough mood to try a bit of a drop swirl and the attached is the result.
I'm also looking to thin out the FO samples I have and decided to try out a hodgepodge of FOs by dripping a little of each. I went through the 30+ FO samples and picked out 12 or so that, to me, played well together scent-wise.
I wasn't expecting to like the way the colors or scent turned out but I'm happy with both. The scent is a bit "involved" for lack of a better word. Dry, I pick up coconut, lavender and even a bit of sandalwood. Wet, I pick up lime, cranberry and pineapple. I know I'll never be able to duplicate the scent but it sure was a lot of fun rubbing my hands while muttering, "Bubble bubble toil and trouble" as I poured a little bit of each FO!

Love them! Specially those tops! How did you achieve that?

I generally try to keep my tops flat and as I tried to smooth away a ridge it created another ridge and when I tried smoothing that one away... well, you know how it goes. So I just pressed down slightly all over the top of the batch with the "bowl" or rounded part of a spoon to get low peaks/valleys. All accidental, I assure you.

Love them! Specially those tops! How did you achieve that?

Well done! Keep up the good work! And keep good notes... I'd hate to see you get all bruised from kicking yourself...
