Artistic help required please

Hi
I really like this soap but can't work out how it is done.
I was wondering if someone might be able to help with the technique?
It's not an in the pot swirl. I don't think it is a funnel swirl, well I am hoping it isn't because that requires planning and it only shows up on one side of the bar, which is disappointing.

I am trying to get the black rim around the colours and of course the nice fat blobs of colour.

Gorgeous soap! I think the mold was tilted on a corner?

I think it is a variation on a funnel pour, maybe that dancing funnel that Greatcakes did last month. I just don't see how you can get the halos any other way.

I think its a spoon technique. You sprinkle the charcoal on a layer, then add spoonfuls of colored, or not, soap batter. Hold on, I'll see if I can find a video.

I am guessing it started as a wave pour in a log mold
