Made a comb tool - peacock swirl here I come!

Wish me luck! This will be my 5th batch of soap. I'm happy with the last recipe I used, it was slow to trace and I was happy with the drop swirl it created

My best friend's fiancé is a joiner so he made me a slab mold so I can do some soaps with pretty patterns on top

I'm going to attempt it tomorrow. Here's the mold and my comb tool

You have really caught the soaping bug Sonia! You will be drowning in bars!

I will be back with pics tomorrow. Just made a liner for it out of laminate sheets

Well it was a disaster

Traced too fast to even attempt any kind of swirl so ended up splodging my 3 colours into the mold and making a pattern with the back of a spoon

I used the same recipe as last time which was a dream to work with. The only variable was the FO, I used one called Sea Breeze this time, last time was Neroli Camomile. I'm not sure if I soaped a little warmer this time too but if so its only the diff from around 85 last time to 90 this time.

Not happy

Bummer.. I'm sure it'll turn out great though! It sounds like your FO accelerated on you
