There are many ways to do ombre layering (or gradient) style in cold process soap, but I like the way I do it! Again, if you are curious about how I do it with one bucket, 6 layers plus thin pencil line, you can watch my youtube video: Making Ombre Layer Soap
Now that I have done it with bleeding colors and non bleeding colors to get different effects on the layering look, I don't want to do the same old same old again. Let's see the summary:
Bleeding vs.Non-bleeding
Two Color Bleeding Layering
and last but not least, Two Color Bleeding Mirror Direction Layering
In my previous post I put a twist to this style by bleeding 2 colors from dark to light then light back to dark in 8 layers, topped with melt & pour soap embeds and blueberry seed for texture. That is one complicated batch to make and requires much planning ahead. AND, I used one bucket only! Like I said, I have this ombre bug in me and I need to flush it out of my system, LOL What else can I do to have a new spin to the old style?! I went from making 6 layers to 8 layers and now I present you the 11 layer hot mama zebra! This one has 3 color gradient look, can you tell?! This is Vesta (Goddess of sacred fire)!
Sorry this time I broke my one bucket rule, LOL, I used 2!

I love your blog you know the wonderful congratulations to you!
ReplyDeletesmall white ball on top is what? you put a lot and I think it's great
Christine, Thanks for the compliment! The small white balls are sugar balls used for cake and dessert decoration. They are made of sugar and edible. You can buy them in stores that sells bakery supplies.
Deleteagreed thank you and congratulations again!
DeleteLayers look great. I love the black in between.
ReplyDeleteEmily, you're restless indeed!! Still got that bug in you? What's for dinner :D
ReplyDeleteYou see, I don't use my kitchen for cooking food, I use it for cooking soap! LOL
DeleteI love the black layers. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThis is one aaaaaaamazing soap!! How long did it take you to make it?!
ReplyDeleteAmy, it took too long... I tried to hurry up because this FO tends to accelerates trace, and it did. But to mix and pout 11 layers alternating 2 colors at a time is just time consuming. THAT finally got my last bit of bug out, LOL. I'm officially pooped...
DeleteThis soap is quite a feast for the eyes! It's gorgeous. I really enjoy your posts and videos. Thanks for sharing!
