Who put dressing in my blackberries?

I'm on a mission to try more scents than I normally choose.  Yeah - I'm one of those.  I'm a citrus girl.  I admit it. I head straight for the kumquats and guavas and starfruits, with the occasional foodie scent thrown in when I'm hungry.  I gotta cut that out, and expand my soapmaking horizons.  So in an effort to make something differen't (and because a customer ordered it...heh...) I made a decent sized batch of blackberry & sage soap.  Yeah, I know....more fruit.  But hey!  There's sage in there too!

Baby steps....

Just poured...

Hi all. This soap is scented with yummy base notes of raspberry, cantaloupe, and watermelon, middle notes of jasmine and violet, and fresh top notes of grapefruit and kumquat. I just put it to bed, so I hope it turns out well. I actually have a decent HD camera but had my crappy point 'n shoot handy...lol. Excuse the fuzzy video. :) The picture above shows it's "true" color once it set up awhile. This just goes to show how difficult it can be to gauge colors when mixing. See how dark it is in the video, and then how the whole thing brightened up? (click picture to enlarge) The different red shades distinguished themselves, and the aqua became lighter and prettier. I'll post the cut in a later post. As always, thanks for reading! :)
