Circle Swirl Tutorial Attempt

Yesterday I tried following this tutorial from Soap Queen.  I had some issues with the Titanium Dioxide - namely, that it wasn't whitening my soap!  I got some good recommendations from other soapers at The Dish - next time I'm going to try putting the powdered TD on top of the lye and then dump it all into the water to mix. 
 
So the soap is orange-turquoise-yellow instead of orange-turquoise-white:
 
 
I mean, it's pretty, it just doesn't look as much like Anne-Marie's as I would like.  The scent is interesting, if not one that I would have picked on my own.  I do like the column mold and will try this technique again once I get some nice new colorants.  I have a lot of lovely new FO's to try out!
