I love Flames!!
I posted my rejects in the main thread, but I'll add them here for unity. Hope that's okay.
All the ones I made were Castile soaps so it took several tries to perfect a method to get the layers to set up between pours so that my layers would be straight. I also tried to do some gradients with natural colorants, but had no success at all with making the layers distinctly different shades. However, that was probably due to not have a thick enough trace with those particular soaps.
Here's one I did with micas, that I actually like the look of. It was a two day soap because I attempted a tilted layering effect on the bottom half, then straight line layers two days later to complete the soap.
Madder Root Layers didn't come out so well but I really like the intensity of the color.
In this one you can see I had finally started to manage to get straighter layers. The next one I did turned out even straighter, so this was a good practice run.

Love your choice of colors, Earlene, they are great in all 3 batches. I can even see the change in madder root layers. That one in particular has a very rich effect, perfect for jump starting a cold winter day.
