Clementine and Lavender

 

If you guessed that the purple had gone wrong, you'd be right. It turned an ugly gray. Argh....I hate when that happens. I tossed that packet of mica right in the trash.

I had to re-work it with another purple I had and that took time which messes up the timing of the pour. Think instant pudding. Once it firms up there's not a lot you can do. I'm also working in heavy gloves that are covered in batter which means washing them off so I can take them off safely to dig through my stash of colors to find another purple. The clock is ticking.

Oh, dear. No pouring phase this time. The plop phase happened a bit early. Nothing to do now but pound the mold on the floor and hope that it all evens out. 

So far so good. I did manage to scrap out the stiff leftovers from the cups to get some on the top. 

That was a pretty hair raising adventure. It was also a messy one. You don't have time to stop and clean up behind yourself when you're racing the clock. 

Was it worth it? It sure was. Everything somehow managed to do what it was supposed to and smell great at the same time. My favorite new scent so far. A big win. Whew.

And I forgot my usual Wednesday WIPs post because here's the only interesting thing going on. I finished section one of the Hue Shift. Now I have a million ends to weave in before I head to section two. I'm excited because then, we get to start using the blues.
