Ooooo....looking at these soaps is a dream for the eyes. True art. My favorite is the bottom one. Coral and mint is a great color combination, and the striking dark areas are a wonderful contrast.

How do you get those nice textured tops ? Does the soap have to be thick ?And also do you use a spatula?

Hi there! I just used a spoon and the handle of it. After I pour, I wait until the soap thickens up and then I start playing with it until I like the way it looks. It sometimes takes awhile for the soap to become the right texture, where it'll stay put and stand up in peaks. It needs to be pretty thick

How do you get that beautiful middle layer so even? And how do you do pencil lines? May I ask, or is that proprietary?

For the soap with layers, I usually divide my lye water into 2,3,or 4 containers depending on how many layers I'm doing. (I weigh it to make sure it's exact) . I do the same with the melted oils and then I do each layer, one at a time letting each one set before mixing and pouring the next. It helps to speed things up and set the soap by putting the mold into a warm 170 degree oven between layers.

Here is a good video on Pencil lines!
