First time using pigments and I think it turned out pretty well! I was going for a tiger stripe but the batter was too thin so it's just a random swirl inside but pretty. My first time using FO too! It's starting to gel right now, so hopefully it still looks good when I unmold it.
 
You never really know until you cut it. Usually, I think it's a bust and it will actually come out pretty good. Post photos after you cut into bars.
 
That is your first??!! No way!! LOL I love it and can't wait to see it cut.
 
Very beautiful. I love the way the colors contrast. Can't wait to see it cut.
 
I'll be looking for cut pictures too, you , my friend, have a gift! Awesome job!
 
The whole thing is great! Top is great and inside is beautiful too! What did you do for the inside? Did you layer and just do your mantra swirl or do an ITP and just swirl the top? Do you mind that I ask you your technique?!
 
Not at all! I was planning to try a tiger stripe but each later just kind of sank into the next. So I just kept pouring alternating colors and took a skewer through the batter in a circle (vertically, if that makes sense) all the way down the mold. Really just kind of random! By the time I got to the top I was able to pour the colors for the mantra pretty easily.
