Thank you I made sure to use a slow tracing recipe since it was my first time ever doing the mantra swirl. It went very smoothly. Love the outcome.

I got mine from rustic essentuals and I loved it. Thanks it was the first time on that swirl so I'm proud of it just hope I can do it again. Lol

Light trace is the key. I did my first mantra swirl and brought it to medium trace, which made my swirls gloppy. Did it again with lighter trace and am as happy with mine as you are with yours. I did activated charcoal/mango Labcolor/white swirl with Shave and a Haircut scent. I love your colors and can imagine it with the cucumber melon scent. Very pretty (almost don't want to part with them, right?)

From where do you get so much patience?

Lol I have all the patience in the world for soap now everything else is a whole other story. Lol

Yes light trace is a must have when doing this swirl. I'm in love with the swirls so much I had to test my luck. Lol

This was is scented with kumquat although my yellow didn't turn out as yellow as I wanted.

Okay, so how'd you do it? Is there a thread with techniques like that? I'm a first day newbie

bluelilyboutique · Mar 4, 2014

I read a tutorial from soap queen on the mantra swirl. Then after it hardened and ready to cut I cut in at 2 inches, then turned over and cut in half so that the feathering of the swirl can show it's gorgeous self. It's simple cause I was able to master it my first 2 times. Lol I used a wood mold I made it's about 14 inches long. I haven't tried it on a smaller mold yet.

Wow. Very beautiful and very inspiring. So inspiring that yesterday I tried to make something that looks similar. I'm going to cut it tonight to see how it looks!

bluelilyboutique · Mar 5, 2014

Well I am super excited to see the cut pictures of what I inspired you to do. It's awesome feeling to know you sparked someone's creativity with my creation. Make sure you send me your pic to make sure I see it. I'm sure it will be amazing.
