Hi:
I have failed to swirl after two attempts. I don't see that you have any more "to go" to achieve an ultimate swirl. These look great.
You kick swirl.

I think they're gorgeous especially the one on the far right.
I'm so jealous of your wonderful swirls. :cry:

Thanks so much! The one on the far right is coconut lime verbena not my favorite scent, but the one on the far left on the other hand is peaks black raspberry vanilla and it smells WONDERFUL! I will purchase it again...(in a big bottle lol)

C'mon,those swirls are pretty darn good! The black raspberry is really lovely. 8)
PopMica's are my favourite colours.Really intense when you want them to be but can acheive some beautiful pastel & muted tones too.Plus they're a breeze to work with.
What did you use for the black? I have a bleep of a time with black,yrs looks good...

Sexy Swirls!
Those are gorgeous!
Here's one of my recent successes-- anyone know of a good "almost" ice cream scent? I'd like to get close with a blend of EO's if possible...

swirly girlies
Hazel- were those all ITP swirls?
Your far left picture is really pretty- I love the thin swirly swirls-- The one I posted had some 'chunkier' sections- was hoping for a little more even... which means, YEAH! I get to make more soap!! (if I had perfected it- the fun would be over). How did you get your pic to post right on your comment?

Re: swirly girlies
I don't know what you mean by ITP swirls.
I really like everyone's swirled soap on this thread. Maybe it would help if I got some pop micas, too. I'm just using what I have around the house which is some liquid lakes and some herbal powders.

Swirling
oops- sorry-
ITP is "In The Pot" (such a technical acronym for something so basic!). It's just another method. I guess the other option would be ITM (in the mold)?
I've done that too, alternately pouring my different colors, and giving a quick swirl with a skewer or whisk- but I find that with that, I have to work faster so the batter doesn't get too thick before I'm done.

Then I do ITM.
Well, I think yours and dcornett's soaps inspirational and I'll keep practicing.

Thanks, I ordered the black mica as my add on when I ordered my pop micas. But if you notice only touches of it here and there are black, most of it is really just various shades of gray. Still pretty though. This was also my 4th attempt (since ordering the micas) at itps so it was looking a little better than the first three.gekko62 said:
