You are incredibly talented! I can't wait to see what you come up with next. :D
 
Thanks, everybody! I'm so bummed I forgot my fragrance...lol. I should put the bottle in my mold...so I don't pour with out it. :roll:
 
I've got a question?

How in the world do you do that with fragranced soap. When I do a ketchup bottle swirl (not nearly as nice as yours) I can only scent the base, the swirl portion always seizes on me in the bottle if I try it with a fragrance, even a nice one.

Do you use way more than full water?

Come on, Woman! We need answers!
 
Yes yes yes! Pour/mix your colors out first and then scent the base and then pour the base into your mold.

Don't scent the colored soap that goes into the squirt bottle.

I should make that clear in the tutorial!

For the recipe I use 2.5 oz of lye and 6 oz water. So about 30% Lye Concentration.

Use slow tracing oils like lard and olive. Stay away from butters.

Latte Art. I want to do that butterfly next. I'm out of olive :(

But I ordered some BB Chipotle caramel. Has anybody soaped that yet? I wonder if it moves fast?
