Celine swirl

[grumpy_owl]

I wanted to do a pretty two-color swirl, and found the fabulous Celine swirl online. She is very talented. After some Googling and links, I saw many posters saying it was harder than she made it look, but I found it very easy. The yellowy part of the soap is actually quite white IRL--the light in my kitchen is gnarly.

gnarly! I haven't heard that word in a long time! is that a blast from your past, or is gnarly becoming a popular word again?

That's a wonderful Celine swirl! She would be proud of you!

My kitchen light is, as all, gnarly.

Nice swirls!

I always have to transport my goods to the front porch for natural light pics. Otherwise everything's yellow tinged.

What. A. Pain.

Love the look

They look gorgeously purple and green to me, perfect for lavender-mint. But I heard you say white and that would striking too. Give me your scent - I'm dying to put it all together!

I will be proud if I can do the same swirl myself

CaraBou, The scent is possibly my very favorite in the world, Blackberry Sage. The swirl is Radiant Plum mica--both Brambleberry.

Beautiful soap! You've got some nice looking swirls there, good contrast. I agree, I think the Celine swirl is one of the easier ones to do, and one of the few I've ever had success with. A good place to start for those of us who are swirl challenged.

I am going to have to try this. I watched the youtube vid where she 'named' it. Pretty funny how it stuck, even tho she was just joking.

That is a great looking bar. Congrats.

Yes, she makes pretty lousy videos--doesn't tell you what she's doing and just banters with her friend, the videographer. Still, if you watch closely and then check in on a few other people who have tried it, it's super easy even if you're not as accomplished a swirler as she is. I did four layers instead of three because I am seriously trace-challenged. It smells divine and looks good with my new branded stamps. Soaping every day now. By summer I will have a metric butt-ton (yes, that is an official measurement) of soaps ready and cured.
