The Secret Feather Swirl No. 2

I decided to make another secret feather swirl using the Brazilian Clay Sampler Pack from Bramble Berry. The soap is scented with a lovely blend of sweet orange, lavender and patchouli essential oils. You can see the making video here.

I was having so much fun experimenting with natural colorants, that I decided to experiment with a few more...feel free to check them out here.
