A little humor on a classy soap.

This is drop dead gorgeous and so striking.

Oh my lord.

How do you think this one was done?

Very cool, looks like the inverse of a gel ring!

 

[newbie]

It looks like it was all poured at once. Maybe popped in the oven or otherwise heated around the periphery/from the outside and then chilled? I don't know if the person meant to do it or not but it is an astonishing looking soap.

I think I remember a blog post about it being entirely unintended. Lucky duck!

I wonder which look was the intended one....the lighter creamy color or the darker?

Gradient but using pumpkin as the thing to decrease.

What an excellent use of stearic streaking.

Whaaaaaat? I can't even imagine how anyone achieves this kind of perfection.

I saw that one on Pinterest and was stunned! It appears to me as a mantra type swirl on top of the bars as apposed to in the middle. I can't imagine the practice this took.

 

[newbie]

Mmmm, such a delicate look to this soap.

You should see what the soapmaker who made the red black and green soap has just posted. It's awesome. I'll see if I can work out how to put it here

Here they are. I'm in awe

What an excellent use of stearic streaking.

Seems like glycerine rivers to me...

I believe it is called "Circling Taiwan Swirl"
You basically do the 1st (zig zag or chevron) step of Taiwan and then you circle touching the sidef of mold a couple of times.
This was an entry in Amy's challenge this month, I'm pretty sure it will win. I think the technique is pretty well described in soapers Facebook album.
