I think we need to amp up the inspiration. Here’s one made with some of the natural colorants we’ve been posting about lately. The maker also posted an IGTV video showing the annatto and paprika infused oils being added to the batter and then the pour.

I’m surprised by the small amount of infusion used to get the great color in the soap.

Where are the ingredients listed? what is the green powder used? Looks like mica?
Love the tops of her soaps. Fabulous.

I think the powder she is using is indigo or something like that not charcoal. The second layer poured was plain soap batter but the finished soap is showing green and blues from bleeding.

Thanks. I’m surprised indigo bleeds green but it is lovely.

Thanks. I’m surprised indigo bleeds green but it is lovely.

I think when it oxidizes it will turn blue again. Indigo can go blue to yellow to green and back to blue.

In the comments with the soaps, she lists clays and wheatgrass for the pink soap and clays, indigo and wheatgrass for the blue soap.

All I wanted to do tonight was look at soap on IG.

 

[Mobjack Bay]

What a great idea!

I think the little flowers shapes might have been made with the ebru technique. Just a guess that the red that goes through the white might have been dropped in a thin stream. Just a guess.

I LOVE THIS ONE! What technique is this, and any ideas how to replicate it?

Any ideas on this one either?

I think it’s the clamshell technique, but I’ve no idea how to do it.

Well at least that's a start. Thanks for your input!

You betcha!

I agree about the clam shell pour, which basically means pouring layered soap from a funnel pitcher in a particular pattern. The other one looks like a pipe divider swirl where the pipes were concentrated on one side of the slab mold, or possibly the soap was just poured as if it was a pipe divider swirl, but out the pipes.

Thanks, @Mobjack Bay !!

@The_Emerald_Chicken She called it a design scale on her Instagram - here's a video she made of another soap she made using this technique.
