In pursuit of a perfect swirl

[dOttY]

This is the other log I poured when I did my "Lavender Fields" (flop).

I poured at really thin, if any, trace. Pretty much happy with how it's turned out, apart from the dreaded ash monster :evil:

I think I should have used a different colour than the Raspberry Mica, to make the effect pop.

Next time I will do a more 'vivid' colour scheme.

The soap is still really soft, I think it's day 3 now (too lazy to check my soap diary!) So I'll bevel and trim in a day or so...

That is very pretty. I like light color, it's peaceful to me

 

[Fullamoon]

That looks like the perfect swirl to me!

[simplymcghie]

That's really lovely and looks great with the soap stamp on it. :wink:

Oh my... that's so pretty! It really does give a peaceful feeling, and I see the blue flower as well. <3 it!

That's very pretty. Nice and soft and peaceful.

Nice! Mantra swirls are tricky, you have to get the pour at just the right moment. This is a pretty delicate soap.

 

[agriffin]

That is beautiful! Very soothing.

Looks good to me!

Dotty- I really like the color combo. I don't think vivid would be better (unless it ends up fading). I think that's one awesome soap.

 

[dOttY]

Thanks for the kind compliments everyone.

I think, for me, I'd change the FO next time I combined these colours. It's kinda delicate, feminine? So 'Grapefruit' IMO is loud, or that's just how I perceive the scent.

I admit I love doing this swirl. Although, I find it 'fiddley' (this was my 9th batch) I really enjoy cutting it open, it's like a surprise!

Love the colors

 

[JackiK]

Those are beautiful. Love the way the colors meld together.

I really love these dOttY. The leaf pattern that came through is so pretty. Someday I'll get the nerve to start playing with swirls
