Trying New Techniques

I am just loving trying new techniques with making soap and there are so many videos out there, which are so inspiring. At the moment I'm sticking to one recipe, which I know works and I'm experimenting with fragrances and colours. 
 
This first soap is a variation on the tiger stripe. The fragrange is Oatmeal, Milk and Honey- it's smells lovely!
The second soap also has the same fragrance but a tighter tiger stripe. 
The
third soap has layers of colours that are quite pastel and the fragrance is White Tea and Ginger.

More Soap!

I have been experimenting with the process of soapmaking and properties of oils and fragrances (and glitter)-while trying not to burn myself!
Here are some of the pieces I've made-they smell great-but they don't look perfect at all! The fragrances are variations of Patchouli, Rose, Orange, Arabian, and Sandlewood. These need a little clean up.
