Challenging to duplicate a design!

[dmcgee5034]

I am finally getting to a point of trying to duplicate a design of a soap I made and it’s a whole new challenge! I made a small batch the first time around and DH and some friends loved it, so I made a full size batch. Colors are the same and the look is similar but it’s not as wing looking. Anyways, here’s the new one, and a pic of the original for reference. Scent is NS Peace & Love.

What is this word you use - 'duplicate'?

Always trouble with second dates.....

Your second pour is different. Why wouldn't it look differently. First one is really nice!

It will never be the same because they're handmade.

The wing effect is cool and possibly a one time occurrence, but I wouldn’t give up just yet!. Are these OPW-type pours? If so, here are some things I can think of to explain the different outcomes. First, the mold shape changed and the batter had more room to spread out in the original soap. I think this is a big part of the different look from one batch to the next. It’s hard to think wing when the new soap is almost square. There’s also a difference in how the colors parsed out that could relate to color proportions, or possibly the change in batch size/mold length and how the batter was layered in the pouring pot.
