Then one morning on the news, the anchorwoman was wearing a 3 coloured top and a skirt in yet a different shade. I personally would never have thought of the colour combination on my own (hence why I'm not in fashion or mixing paint colours) but it really was quite pretty. I decided to try and put that into my soap.
I started with this Victorian teardrop from Brambleberry, scented it with Peach Ginger from WSP
then I put in a base colour which was supposed to be orange (as per the outfit) but turned out a bit more brown. Which is okay too since brown is a neutral and goes with pretty much everything (if you believe Stacy and Clinton). I forgot to scent the base, so after I poured it into the oval moulds, I quickly put a few drops of Baby Rose in and swirled it up before the soap could set.
The final result? Feminine, but not over done.
Do you have a go to colour scheme you like to use? What do you use for inspiration? Have a great week!
That's pretty cool! I personally think purple goes grand with red, but, hey, that's just me. :D
ReplyDeleteI'll have to try that one of these days Teresa, just to see if I can wrap my little brain around the idea. Maybe I'll like it better in soap than in clothing. ;)
DeleteIt's gorgeous, Monica. This is very elegant soap. The brown is pretty light, goes very well with purple. As for me, purple goes with gold best, then orange, yellow and green.
ReplyDeleteThank you Maja. The mould is definitely very grown up and elegant, so unlike me. :D I should've thought of purple and gold, after all they are both royal colours aren't they? I like the rest of your colour combinations too, I'll have to give them a try.
DeleteThe Victorian teardrop is very pretty! Sometimes the fragrance dictates the colors for me, and other times I pick a fragrance based on the colors I want to use.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jenny. It's a very detailed mould which makes it really cool. Thank your for sharing your thought process in choosing colours and scents; I don't usually choose colours based on scents, but that would definitely make a difference in what colours to choose.
DeleteThe Victorian teardrop is gorgeous and the color you chose is just perfect. I choose colors the way Jenny does. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Silvia! I'm going to have to think about matching colours to scents like you & Jenny next time.
DeleteThe teardrop is really beautiful and I like it the way you combined it with yellow-orange.
ReplyDeleteThe teardrop mould is quite something isn't it Nat? I love the details in it. The colours could be more vibrant next time, but it is a nice combination. Like Maja suggested maybe next time I'll do gold and purple.
DeleteThey look great. The colors look so good together. You should make some for gifts =)
ReplyDeleteThank you Anne-Marie! I'm enjoying playing with colours more and more, thanks to all the inspiration from you and all the other wonderful soapers out there. I'm definitely going to be giving away some as gifts. :)
