How To Achieve This Texture?

hmlove1218 · Apr 10, 2014

I found this texture very interesting and wondered if anyone could tell me what it's called or point me in the direction of some videos showing how to achieve it or similar.

It was most likely swirled after the batter was getting thick

As the lines look straight, I'd say it's had a skewer run through at thick trace ITM.

Well, since that is my soap I guess I am the best source of info on it. I used the tool below to create that texture after lightly swirly the top while the soap was firm enough to hold its shape. Then I took this tool to create the deeper lines. You would be amazed at what you have just laying around your house that you can use in making soap.

I think you may have just given me an idea on what to do with an old metal hair pick. I like the design.

Good of you to share FGOriold. Looks like you've been a very busy little soaper! Well done.

What a lovely soap. It looks really pretty!

That's a beautiful texture FGO!

That is a beautiful soap! Recently I took a large hair pick with a handle and ran it through the log of a soap that I had done a drop swirl, going all the way to the bottom. I actually have an onion pick that looks very similar in my amazon basket right now.

Thanks - you are all very kind.

Hazel · Apr 10, 2014

I agree. It's gorgeous but I think all your soaps are beautiful. Even the uncolored ones. :thumbup:

FGOriold, love it! Thanks for telling us how you did it. Don't worry, I am so swirl challenged that I could try this for the next 100 yrs and never come close. So pretty.

jules92207 · Apr 11, 2014

what an awesome soap and even more that you would share the method - so cool!

Cococamila · Apr 15, 2014

Love your store and all your soaps look amazing. I'll be favoriting your store and buying my very first CP soap!

songwind · Apr 15, 2014

Very pretty soap. Thanks to Faith for sharing her secret.

JusDin · Apr 15, 2014

FGO, that soap and everything in your shop is gorgeous! I love all your designs. And as others have said, thanks so much for sharing your method.

Would you mind sharing who does your labels? They are beautiful as well.

Thanks for your kind words. I do all of my own labels. I purchase them from online labels and use their online maestro software uploading my own images. Sometimes I think I have the more fun designing the labels :smile:

Dang, and to think I threw out a bunch of metal hair picks when I closed my beauty shop after 40 yrs. Should have kept a few :-D
