Amy Warden's scenery soap challenge -Key Essence- Sailboat-

 

I really love this soap and am very happy how it turned out.  I have been working on it in my mind for a month or so.  I can not wait to go to the beach again.  Making this soap made me want to take another vacation.

 Below is the end of the second batch.  There are grey clouds in here as well as white ones, blue sky scattered about.  It took three batches of soap made one after the other to finish this soap.  I had to use a bigger mold (shoe box) because the sailboat is taller than my regular silicone molds and there would not be enough side room in the tall slender mold.

The forest and more blue sky with white clouds.  The beach is underneath the forest.

 Used peacock from Mad Oils and aqua mica from Brambleberry for the water.  Used Vanna White and Phyllis Diller for the white clouds.  I stuck with mostly white clouds trying to keep the soap bright.

 I put in the water and added a white splash for the boat.  The boat is made before hand with cold process soap.  I 'glued' the parts together using a little clear melt and pour.

Key West and Silverfin from Mad Oils made up the sky, a little wicked to make grey clouds.  3 olive martini and the maniacal pea was used for the forest.  These are from Mad Oils.

Sailboat Soap

 We love to go fishing.  For the scenery soap it had to have water and a boat involved.  We also love vacationing on the Gulf of Mexico whenever possible.  A sailboat on the water seems to be the perfect picture for it.

 While a sailboat is not the kind of boat we have, we love to be out on our deck boat with the kids fishing at our in state lakes. 

 I love the colors in this picture.  While the water is a kind of teal color the sky is blue jay blue.  This is a very bright picture and I tried to keep that with a very bright colored soap.  I used Knock Out fragrance oil from Natures Garden.  This soaped wonderfully!  No issues at all.  This soap will be called Captain when it gets labeled.  A little switch on the scent name from boxer to boat captain but captains do have to skirmish with the gulf and ocean waters at times.
