Extremely awesome

Thanks goji and everyone else. It was seriously easy for the reasons mentioned above. I just got lucky. This was my 2nd batch using lard (see my thread "Get off my a$$ about ....") It certainly does make a really beautiful white soap. I was worried about color drag based on someone else's thread, so I left it in the mold for 18 hours. Almost broke my wire mold, but no drag!!!

Love it. I can see the natural and TD whitened soap and like the look and the maroon and lime in the middle is just right, just a little smack of color.

Oh now these are nice! I like the subtle color difference

And I def see a Velociraptor in the upper right soap I also love it how we all look for hidden images in the swirls now ..and all the great ideas and suggestions..awesome!

I think it's a Rorschach soap!

As soon as I read your comment it made sense. LOLOLOL. I see a butterfly in the clouds fighting a dragon while eating a hamburger.

Oh C Rose, if only you knew how my friends tease me about being right. It's my favorite thing to hear!

LOL :wave: Pinkcupcake, a big ball of awesome!

If a magic genie gave you a choice between being wrong in everything you said or hitting every red light for the rest of your life, which would it be? :crazy::grin:

Beautiful!

DWin, you can nix my idea on the hacksaw blade. Didn't work worth a hoot on a soap I made today. haha Ended up cutting through so well it didn't drag at all. Oh well, There's one idea down. Next brainstorm coming soon, to a soap near you.

What about one of those long plastic combs with only every 3rd or 4th tooth left? You could adhere that to a hanger easily enough.

 

[JustBeachy]

Way to go Susie. Between the three of us coming up with some idea's, we're going to revolutionize the swirling industry. haha

I swear I spent an hour and half today, trying to figure out how to get a blade with big enough teeth, that would bend to fit the mold and not be too thick. Broke a blade for my bow saw trying to bend it. Must have been tempered. It had some nice teeth though. Thinking of getting the torch after one tomorrow to heat it before I try to bend it. If you don't hear from me for a a while it's cause I burned the house down.

What a unique soap, I love it!

I would sit happily at every red light, secure in the knowledge that I AM RIGHT!! :D:thumbup:

But then you would have Cassandra's problem(while sitting at red lights).

Well as promised DWin, here's the failed, hacksaw blade swirl technique. haha. If you look at the top you can see the one spot where it finally pulled, but in one thin little line. Oh, well. Smells really good and I'm happy with the way the green came out.

Well color me weird, but I really like it. The one on the left looks like a grassy road leading through the snow. I certainly wouldn't put it on the "walk of shame" ugly soaps thread.

 

[newbie]

IT was a couple years ago (maybe. I've lost track of time.) that someone had a flat bar tool that they used for swirling. They found the right sized length in their garage and put it to good use. I'll try to find the post.
