Ah, i'm so not good at the swirl thing. Of course, my recipe thickened by time I was done, but I still love all my little children :wink:

Thanks, everyone

What I don't like is, my swirls never look like swirls, they always look like glop's!!

I changed my recipe to stay more fluid, increased my OO, added some lard, but I'm still trying to make a fine swirled soap, like I see on here all the time, and it just eludes me!
I don't know how ya'll do it. This took me quit a bit of time to do, and it still didn't come out how I wanted it to.
I do still think it's pretty, it's just not what I had in mind..at all, lol

Oh, and jcandleattic, it's lavender-rose scented. My mom will like it, anyway!

I think the colours and swirls in your soap are gorgeous!

I find I get my finest swirls by doing ITP, stirring once only and pouring while still quite fluid.

Another way ... and I'm not sure what this is called, but I pour one colour in the bottom of my moulds, poor the main batter on top while both are fluid, pour some more of a colour, more batter, more colour etc. The main soap batter usually moves the colours 'out and up' and can leave some amazing patterns. Again this needs to be done while the soap is fluid.

I like ITP swirls, too! they always come out the best for me. I'm just not a natural swirler, but i wish i was :wink:
