Spin swirls - previous 3 batches!!

[Sonya-m]

So as it took me 4 attempts to be happy with my spin swirl, here's the ones that didn't make the cut.

Attempt 1 you've already seen, it just got too thick too fast so became a drop and plop



Attempt 2 I was quite happy with but didn't feel the colours popped enough



Attempt 3 got too muddy cos I poured smaller amounts each time to try and get finer lines



Did anyone else make multiple attempts?

Those are all great looking soaps but I can see why you're so happy with the 4th ~ it's over the top amazing! Your 2nd attempt would make a great 4th of July soap in the states! Now you have me thinking.....

Those are all beautiful. I especially love the first one.

It's interesting to see the different results the spin swirl can produce. Even you "drop and plop" is great. I've got to give this swirl a try...you've inspired me.

It also took me 4 attempts to get more or less what I wanted, but I'll be able to take pictures of my other soap batches not earlier than this weekend.
I like all your soaps, but I can see why you are so happy with your 4th one. I knew right away it would be the winner.

I like your second one - it kind of reminds me of aquafresh toothpaste!
I did two attempts - the first was a rainbow of colours with some black too- the idea being a kind of 'intergalactic' theme. But the black was too much and the trace too thin so the result wasn't very spectacular. So I then went to a less ambitious design but tried to get the swirls clearer - this was the one I entered. It was white, green and 2 different purples , scented with lavender and Clary sage eo. I was quite happy with it, but then I came 18th so maybe should have tried some more batches!
