My girlfriend gave me some flowers for watching her son at the last minute. So i dried the petals and put them in my herb grinder. I read that they don't hold their color in soap and will turn shades of tan/brown. Nonetheless i decided to give it a try. Did you know that red rose petals turn BRIGHT BLUE when added to soap?!?! And a day or two later the soap changed to a nice shade of tan, as you see in the shell mold. The rose also added a nice speckled effect. In my loaf mold I really wanted a nice purple, and I ended up adding a purple mica to help with the coloring. If your not familur with it, a mica is a mineral, and is mostly used to help color makeup, so it is safe for your skin. This batch came out smelling wonderful.
