Browsing soap pics

Possibly. But if those colors get dragged all the way through that layer (you can see the swirl pattern all the way to the bottom of the swirl in the brown), wouldn't the same hold true for swirling up into the white? You'd think some of the brown would go all the way through in the opposite direction, or that at least the colored soap would follow the entire swirl but it doesn't, in the white. It's a interesting phenomenon,

How cool is this one - looks like it has eyes!!



And the pencil line around these embeds is great

 

[newbie]

Those eyes are fantastic! Looks like a MArdi Gras mask.

I've seen a lot of combos of the dark/saturated orange and blues. I must say I like it.

Wowee! Gradient salt bar.

Wow is right - one of my favorites

I thought I would just load the pic, Jules. Hope you don't mind.

And the pink swirl colors remind me of the colors used in the salt bar. That salt bar is perfection, I must say.

 

[jules92207]

I don't mind at all, told ya I am posting challenged.

 

[newbie]

Nice!

 

[newbie]

Looks a little photoshopped for crispness but still a beautiful soap.

 

[newbie]

Nice swirl.

 

[jules92207]

Agreed, almost like a butterfly.

Sorry. I am now in a blue streak.



I think I would have foregone the grass for the picture though.

Is this a mantra swirl? If so, if I wanted the pattern you see here to be present in all bars do I need to cut my loaf bars horizontally rather than the usual way??

Or would doing a hanger swirl create this in vertically cut bars?

 

[newbie]

Yes, you could make it in a loaf pan using dividers if you want precision or hand pouring if you don't care about perfect lines. IF you are making a soap that's double thick, I would use dividers. Swirl from the top and then you'd cut horizontally. Exactly as you were thinking.

You could probably do this vertically if you poured layers but you'd be swirling blindly so I don't know if you'd get the pattern that you would like best. And it's more difficult to get the layers in without breakthrough.

Orange and blue strikes again.

 

[jules92207]

Bah! I want!

 

[newbie]

Makes me think of sea ice.

 

[jules92207]

Reminds me of my favorite Lush soap, Sea Vegetable.

How the heck do they do this??? https://www.pinterest.com/pin/541628292661838280/ Is the marbled soap made in a thin sheet, and then cut to fit as a liner in the round mold? It looks seamless. So pretty.

I can only assume that they poured into a loaf mold and swirled it, waited for it to firm up enough to be handled, then used it to line a column mold and poured into it??
