Anyone know how to do this?

I saw this picture of soap online and I really love the look and would like to try something similar. Does anyone know how to get that perfect strip of zebra stripes in the following picture?

It looks like the zebra was made first then cut down, put back in mold and then the rest was poured over. It make a pretty picture but I bet it breaks apart with use.

I don't see why this would have any more chance of falling apart than any other embeds?

The zebra part is made with the funnel swirl technique.

Because the embed goes from top to bottom of the bar and is not completely surrounded by new soap.

I've done embeds that weren't completely surrounded and it didn't fall apart.

I have multiple soaps where I pour layers separately. They adhere just fine.

Pouring in layers is different than what this person did. Just saying I have never used a bar made like this that did not end up breaking. Maybe my family is just to hard on soap. Maybe she has a way to do this that is different from the other makers that I have have bought from. It is very pretty!

Separately. As in poured at separate times; more than one batch combined.

The zebra part is made with the funnel swirl technique.

Could it be made with the spoon technique as well? Just curious. I've only seen vides of both, not actually tried either yet.

I don't know what technique was used; but I sure like the results.
