First swirl

AshPea · Apr 17, 2014

First attempt at using colorants of any kind and swirling. I think it turned out nice! Peaked at it this morning and of course the color has turned a sort of shimmery gray, but I'm still pleased! The color is patina sheen mica.

Looks very promising! Can't wait to see the cut pics.

Looks very pretty.

Very nice. But as the movie director said to the barber: "Cut!"

Wow. a perfect ratio of black to white. Looks amazing from here!

Well, bit of a letdown. Swirls not nearly as crisp as I wanted. And it's a little soft, could've let it sit in the mold another day. I think I need to invest in some squeeze bottles for better lines!

Psst.. Old coffee creamer containers (of course washed out with hot soapy water) work really well. My soaping buddy and I put different colors in two creamer containers and took turns pouring batter and got a pretty decent swirl out of it. Just don't soap too hot or you'll warp the containers and they may get a little hot in your hand. Ask me how I know

Looks better than my first swirl (I just made my second swirl an hour ago, actually). I had the opposite experience... was going for wispy brown swirls in my white chai-scented soap, it seized... I ended up with very thick, bold lines. Wanna trade?
