1st attempt at a Column Swirl - End product pic :)

[dOttY]

Here's my first column swirl. Darned trace accelerated, but I soldiered on. But I didn't 'skewer' it at the end. I've just left it plain Jane.

Don't know whether I'll cut it vertically into bars, or horizontally into slabs and then into bars.

This is a masculine scent, and I used liquid orange, and black oxide as colourants. I wanted to create a Tiger soap.

Looks very promising, can't wait to see it cut!

And remember, better for it to be a little thick at pour than not properly emulsified and a yucky separated mess. I bet this will turn out awesomely well.

Wow ... it looks great in the mould, very striking. Can't wait to see pictures of the cut bars!

[Scentapy]

That's a very impressive soap there, I can't wait to see it cut

 

[KylieO]

you're so cool Dotty, love it. i like that it doesn't have the skewer look on top

i'm expecting the liquid colours tomorrow (woohoo) and are hoping they are easy to work with

That looks awesome, very tiger-y! Can't wait to see it cut.

 

[saltydog]

Yeah, that looks great! Make sure you post cut pics please

 

[dOttY]

Thanks Guys

I'll post pics when I cut it. I'm trying to restrain myself and not cut too early.

 

[dOttY]

Unmoulded it. Still deciding on which way I'll slice it.

 

[Pretty n Plain]

Oh my goodness, that looks like a tiger, that's amazing!!!

 

[Bubbles Galore]

Great colouring Dotty. :wink:

 

[trishwosere]

That looks lovely Dotty, I'm on the edge of my seat waiting for you to cut it....I love looking at the new soaps when cut, the anticipation is like waiting for Christmas

 

[jcandleattic]

It really does look fantastic!

 

[agriffin]

Did you slice it yet? If I were you I would slice the loaf in half. One half slice into bars as usual. The other half, slice in half again and then slice horizontal so you can have both types of cuts.

Waiting patiently to see your cut soap

 

[dOttY]

Ok, so I've cut them. Did them standard, but yeh Lovin'Soap, that is what I should have done!!

Here's 2 pics. I will post a final pic when I've trimmed and tidied up the bars

The orange is more vivid in real life. Disappointed with how it appears in the pics...

I think they'll look better once I've bevelled the edges a little

Those look so cool! I love how the bars are all different. Very creative.
