I know that I haven't posted for ages so thought that I would share my take on the bouquet swirl. I've also made a Youtube video. My first videos actually so I'm quite pleased with myself as i have never made a video before.

Let me know what you think. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
 
Thanks so much for sharing that tutorial!

Unfortunately the images of the cut soap didn't come through. :cry:
 
Thanks for telling me Judy. I think it's fixed now. I will also post some pics of the cut bars:)
 
Wow! This is really amazing!
I wouldn't unmold it, I'd hang it up on the wall as a piece of art, it is that pretty!
 
Beautiful! When I first saw your pictures, I thought it must have been very hard to make the swirls. Then I watched your videos and saw how you did it. The way you showed does look simple. Although, I can well imagine your arm was sore while I watched the first video. Thanks for sharing! :D
 
That is absolutely amazing! Beautiful soap! I watched your youtube video, very nicely done, really informative, but I have to tell you that comb thingie is just brilliant. Total genius! Do you just wipe the soap off the picks and reuse the same one? I was just awed by that, made my hubby take a look!

I was going to ask you how on earth you all keep your soap batter so thin for long enough to work with it like that, but then I clicked on your site and you were so generous to post your recipe and technique!

Thank you so much :) Now let's see some pics of that beauty cut into bars!

Yes I just wipe off the sticks or I just replace them. I always soap cold now as it gives me much more time to work
 
WOW that is soo beautiful.
I was wondering if you did any soap making course in the uk to get so good?
Your website is beautiful and please do more videos!!
 
I just bought a slab mold on ebay. I can't wait to try a version of this technique. Thank you for the tutorial!!!
 
Woooooowwwwww! :shock: amazing stuff! I want a flat slab mould now! Just a little one though I don't think I could cope with a big one like that heehee.

Thank you so much. I am completely self taught and have learnt from books or online. I have to thank so many others online before me who have been so gracious to share their knowledge about soapmaking. :D
 
Hi Fiona
Are there any particular books you can recommend?
The swirl reminds me of a Missoni pattern.
Thanks again x
