eugenia Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 This is the old BNL Warm Vanilla Sugar from BCN. Soaps beautifully. I added a touch of false blue for a light pink swirl knowing it's going to discolor. I went to cut it and thought "huh?"I then realized I thoughtlessly added the FO to my oils, as it's a habit. I meant to add the FO AFTER I took some out for swirling. Guess I will end up with totally brown soap. I will have to re-do this batch as it's for an order. :rolleyes2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eugenia Posted June 9, 2007 Author Share Posted June 9, 2007 I'm not going to rebatch this one. I'll just let it go brown and do a fresh one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaybyrd Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 Aw. Well, maybe you'll get a couple of shades of brown and it'll be a whole good look of its own. I know it smells good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meridith Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 It still looks pretty and you never know, you might get a really cool looking soap. I am just so willing to bet it smells wonderful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carriegsxr6 Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 AK, I did the same thing a couple weeks back, did a nice double pink and purple swirl and the entire thing is brown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mistake.I also think it might turn dark but with the blue in it also, you might have a subtle difference in the color. Perhaps. Your soaps always look nice.

soapbuddy Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 That's too bad because it's pretty just the way it is.Irena Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topofmurrayhill Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 Oh well, if you gotta redo it we'll just have to help out by taking this batch off your hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eugenia Posted June 12, 2007 Author Share Posted June 12, 2007 I think I am going to leave it. They knew the WVS would turn brown. The big surprise was the citrus splash that I did not post. I had beautiful orange and yellow swirls going and the soap turned out army green.Here's the weird part. I had used squeeze bottles to color that batch and typically leave my soap pot and stuff for a day before washing. The covered soap turned, but the squeeze bottles and pot did not. Makes me wonder if covering, heating and gel are a part of the discoloration factor. Had I known the batch would change so drastically, I might have left the bottles unwashed for a while to see what happened, but too late.e Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
