Hallo guys, I saw a lovely soap in pinterest. I thought what could be the technique of making it but after several attempts I gave up. I tried spin swirl, pot swirl and clyde side. I think clyde side is the right technique but I did too thin layers in the pot. I am attaching the photo I found. So thank you in advance. I will keep om trying.
Help me with the technique

I don't know, but it sure is gorgeous. It seems like you were on the right track, though. Still, maybe if you contact Serene_Candles on Instagram

they might be willing to give you some direction.
It might be a combination of ITP and spin swirl, or Clyde slide and spin swirl. It sure is nice. Looking at the Instragram postings, that soaper has some lovely soaps.

I saw something similar on Soap Queen TV.
Thank you earlene. I wrote them already. So I am expecting an answer. But it is also interesting to figure it out.
Thank you lsg about the video. I think I tried that technique. It looks like pot swirl but just little bit different. It gives very thin layers which usually merge. On the photo there are corpulent layers as well as thin layers. I suppose that black, white and purple are main colors. Gold, green, yellow and others micas are secondary.
Maybe I miss something little but crucial.

Baqn, I found it interesting that she (or he?) calls that soap 'Curvilinear Hues' so I looked for some reference to Curvilinear as a design technique, but found nothing in the soap world. In the math world and elsewhere the word curvilinear appears, but so far it doesn't seem to show up in the soaping world. So I guess it's just the name given to that particular soap. I was hoping for an identifiable design technique.
When you find out, I am hoping you will show of photos of your resulting soaps.
LSG, I was struck by the statement in that video that one needs to leave the soaps in that mold for a week and then she said it it still doesn't come out easily another day or two!

I know this isn't exactly the same, but using those colors and pouring more layers of different depths would make it similar. When I made this one I did an off center pour in a square slab silicone mold, alternating colors while pouring some layers thicker, some thinner, some larger and some smaller. I ran a chopstick diagonally through the entire design, back and forth. I then used a thin skewer to lightly swirl the top adding gold mica
