New Swirled Soap

[deb8907]

I swirled 2 shades of blue in a 12 bar flat silicone mold. They turned green, but that's okay. Surprises are fun.

Those are some of the most beautiful soaps I have seen!!!! Great job!!

Wow! Gorgeous swirls! You did a great job and I agree sometimes surprises are fun. Did you scent the batch?

 

[deb8907]

I did scent the batch with 1/2 Coconut Milk and 1/2 Moonlight Path, both PEAK. I think the Moonlight Path turned everything a bit yellow, turning the swirls green. Oh well, next month is St. Patrick's Day!

I wish I could swirl and have a result even 1/2 a nice. Mine turn out looking like smudges, not swirls. Guess I need to practice more. When I grow up I want my swirls to look like yours.

Beautiful swirls! Almost reminds me of a damask pattern.

 

[Momonga]

Beautiful.

They look almost seafoam. Beautiful. You should be proud. How thick we're your layers before you swirled?

Never mind. You said it was a flat mold. How did you do that?

Wow!

 

[terminatortoo]

Those are great looking! What technique did you use?

 

[Hazel]

Oh well, next month is St. Patrick's Day!

Thanks for replying. I think it would be perfect for St. Patrick's Day and you could call it Celtic Swirl. :grin:

These are really beautiful, and the scent sounds amazing. Did you gel them, or ddi they get partial gel at all?

 

[Leanna]

Those are beautiful!

 

[SueSoap]

I did it in 2 layers. I did a layer of white (TD), then used 2 plastic squirt bottles and squirted a little of both the light blue and dark blue (ultramarine) colors in no particular pattern. I waited a few minutes then did another layer of white poured over a spatula (not to mix the bottom colors). Then I squirted the two blues again on top, but squirted hard so the colors would go down both layers. Then I took a wooden skewer and randomly swirled the colors, going through both layers.
No, I didn't gel. I put the silicone mold on a cutting board and refrigerated it for a day, then waited another day before cutting. Just lots of trial and error, lots of error. LOL
