8 colour swirl :O *cut pics added*

[busymakinsoap!]

I haven't posted a pic for a while, so here goes:

This is my second attempt at an ITM swirl. I used 8 colours, pinks, purples, blues and black. The colours *should come through a bit more after gell. It's scented with Sweet Cakes Cucumber and Melon - the BEST fragrance ever for swirling it slows everything right down

*Sorry the pics are a bit blurry - I was shaking with excitment! lol

Everything went to plan until after I poured. I spritzed to early and the alcohol reacted with the top - Grrrr
And then I put it in the oven and forgot to turn it off - eeekk
So will see how it turns out

We will be expecting to see cut pics asap! I'm a wreck trying to do a 3 color swirl, can't imagine 8.

What a great swirl! I bet you WERE shaking with excitement!

How much did you swirl? I ask because I watched one of Beacon Creation's videos and she swirled so much, I thought for sure it was a goner, but it was really beautiful. She swirled three times over with a tongue depressor and then also swirled twice over with a chopstick. I never thought she'd have distinct colors. How many times did you go over your mold? you got such great swoops of the bands of colors.

My trace was so thin and my colours so similar I was scared it was all going to blend into one, so I didnt do too many swirls.

I used the end of a spoon and started in one corner and zig zaged from the top down in an angle.
Then used a skewer and started at another corner making small number 8's down in a line, then moving over and going up and repeated until I had swirled the whole batch.

It's gelled now and the colours are really dark, it looked better before I gelled **** it

:?

That looks cool!

THanks for sharing your swirl technique. I'm really interested in it and what patterns of swirling give what effect. It's so beautiful that I'm sure a little darkening from gelling won't undo it's fabulousness! Please post some pictures after you cut it!!
