Feather swirl success!

[MiscellaneousSoaper12]

No crumbling, these cut smoothly! Thanks to @DeeAnna for her expert advice!!
It's a subtler pink since I was shy with the clay. I didn't check much for firmness before the 24h hour mark since I was busy with work anyways, but once I was off I went straight to checking on it and it was good to cut. I used parchment paper + a cardboard to cover the top, a bench scraper to cut, though I'm already wanting a soap cutter box. The DIYer in me wants to, well, DIY it.
Also, curiously, the strawberry FO comes through a lot nicer in this batch. Less weird chemical and more strawberry sweetness.

Good for you! I know how tricky this is. Every fall I try a reverse feather swirl for a Christmas tree theme. Key word is 'try.' Also, I like pink and gray together.

Gorgeous. Very Zen looking.

This swirl was hard enough and it looks nothing like a christmas tree LOL, sounds like quite a challenge. Hope it goes better this year!
