I think that turned out very cool. The top is a Taiwan swirl- dead useful. I love the look but for a tiger swirl, I agree with Seven. You have to kind of get in the mold and lay down the colors rather than pour from above the mold. You can use a spoon or ladle, or I use a 3-5 ounce dixie cup that I squeeze so that the lip bends and makes a nice little spout. THat's small enough to get in the mold and carefully pour from. However, you have yourself a beautiful soap, tiger swirl or no!!
 
Probably was fd&c dye then. Its definitely safe for soap, just morphs. I use the blue specifically to get purple in CP soap.
 
Thanks for that tip newbie. I will try that as well. I did find the side of the mold to be in the way.
