Funnel Swirl :-D

[Fyrja]

So I made my first funnel swirl soap! It's goats milk, silk, kaolin clay, coconut, olive, castor, and palm oil, scented with BB's China Rain FO. I tinted half of it pink with diluted magenta lab color because the FO naturally discolors the soap to a color between mauve and tan. I figured I'd just help the pink tones along.

The photo doesn't really do justice to how vibrant the darker pink is, because I have really poor lighting. My mother saw it, and made me arrange it on a plate all artsy fartsy because she thought it looked like delicious ice cream.

Overall I'd have to say I'm very pleased with it, though as you can see I could have waited another day or so to cut. I really really need to find a better way of cutting the bars, as they always come out kind of sloppy. :-(

Thanks everyone! I really love this batch, the funnel swirl effect is really nice. I can't wait for my next project. I think I'm going to attempt a column swirl this weekend!

They look gorgeous! I actually love it when soaps look hand-cut, it just reinforces the fact they are a lovely, handcrafted product.

How pretty! the colors remind me of sherbert! Yum!

 

[Fyrja]

Sherbert is exactly what my mom said! They are curing at her house, so if one of them suddenly loses a chunk that looks suspiciously like a bite mark, I'll know who the culprit is!

 

[Hazel]

Right. Also I think the bubbly lather foaming out of her mouth could be a clue. :wink:

Hahaha....my brother tried to eat some of my soap once. Apparently chocolate is not so nice after it's been through the saponification process!

 

[Hazel]

I bet it would taste nasty.

My friend was at someones house when her son was small and went into the bathroom to find that a soap she had in the shape of a hamburger had a bite out of it. She asked her if she fed him enough food.

 

[Fyrja]

Nah. My mom drools a lot, doubt I'd notice. Sometimes I wonder if she has rabies She blames it on the dentures.

That reminds me of a funny story. When I was little my grandma had a jar full of what looked like oreos. They were crocheted cookies, and at some point in time she tricked every single one of us kids into trying to take a bite and getting a mouth full of yarn and fluff.

That's pretty funny!! I guess that's nicer than convincing your little sister that dog treats were beef jerkey.....
