Purple Flowers Soap

One of my goals this year is to get caught up in my soap making videos editing. So I found this video of the first time I tried the pull screen method in a round mold. Namely, a Pringles can. I always welcome an excuse to eat Pringles for the sake of using the can as a mold, as I usually avoid buying junk food otherwise. I remember watching a tv show that explained the process of how Pringles were made, and the quality control done. Literally, it was a few people eating random chips out of a batch to make sure they were good, crunchy and what not, that sounded like a nice though dangerous job.

This was also another first for me, I used the first pull screen disc I made with a 3d printer. I think I should try using this disc again with the colors of a sunflower. This was also my first soap that was entirely purple. Prior to this soap I had used purple as an accent color, but not as the main color in a soap.
