First Attempt at the Mantra Swirl

[Guest]

Anytime LJA , You should have seen how I butchered mine cutting it , it was not pretty . I don't have a putty knife , had to do it in bits with my 5 inch long cutter ha..One bar depth would be a very good thing.Oh and read the whole thing , I missed the part about depth. :wink:

You rock, Kitn. I bought the digi issue with the tut in it yesterday. It looks doable but I just wasn't sure how fast or slow to pull the swirling tool through the soap. I appreciate you explaining it. If I try to cut that loaf on a horizontal with the meager cutting tools I have (drywall knife anyone?) it won't be pretty so maybe I'll just pour one bar height and make like 5 soaps.

Hiya

What I do is the following (see my post in the gallery with the 6 col swirl)
First you divide your soap vertically in bars _ those are still double in height.
Then you cut them horizontally easy peasy.

For the swirling I used a knitting needle size 10

Because it is too obvious you are thinking of somehting difficult, so you expect a dificult answer

I think the reason is LJA , like you said , you just needed it explained. It doesn't matter if something is difficult or easy , the written word is many times better than a picture in some cases.
Speaking of pictures :wink: I would sure like to see one of your soap when you are done. :wink:
