Could someone help me to learn this technique?

Hi everyone,
I found these soaps on Pinterest and I was obsessed with these deep mica lines. Can anyone help me to find a video for this technique?

I would say pour your gold mica mixed with oil on the top of your soap, held slightly higher up so it penetrates the soap surface just a little. Pour it while the soap is in the mold, thickened but still slightly liquid. The oil will absorb into the soap. Make sure you cover with plastic like Saran Wrap, but not touching the soap. It will help with ash that may form.

They are beautiful and I can see why you want to give this a try. Clyde of Vibrant Soap used this technique quite a bit. Since moving to Portugal, he has renamed his YouTube channel Vibrant Channels with Clyde, but the soap making videos are still there. Here is one

I did this one a few years back but it didn’t sink in quite as much. I think I let the soap firm up a little too much. I also gave it a little swirl!

Here is one that I did a few years back with this technique. It really is as simple as drizzling mica-in-oil over your soap, and then swirling it (or not) as your heart desires. The oil kind of sinks in as the soap hardens, creating cool divots and tunnels.
