I’ve been meaning to try out this recipe for a while and finally did it to day. I’ve also wanted to try the pencil line so I gave both a go.
At some point, I considered a gradient pour but tried to restrain myself…kinda. I settled for a creamy bottom and pink top layer.
I decided to use poppy seeds for the line partly because I had loads available and partly because I didn’t want to get the strainer out/ mess with coffee/ cocoa powder.
When I went to take a peek at gel phase I was shocked to see my pale pink top had turned GREY!!! A nice grey but a far cry from PINK. I’ve heard of colour morphing…now I’ve seen it myself.
The result is so lovely, I’m claiming its how I intended it to turn out. The lather is AMAZING (coconut oil is the main source of bubbly lather and hardness in handmade soap) and the bars are hard as rock. Good thing I cut them earlier than I normally would. I had some crumbly sides but its all part of the ‘handmade charm’.
Hmmm…I think I have a brand new favourite ❤ ❤ ❤
