This is my fourth soap and my third CP soap. I had a size problems and I forgot the lavender Eo and on top of it, I cut one piece in the wrong direction - definitely beginner oops! But I like the colors and I'm happy with the pattern, so I'll make this one again after I get some good dividers for my larger mold.

Lovely! I have the same mold but yet to figure out how to cut the bars like that to show off the swirl. Any tips?
 
Cutting to get feather swirl

Click to expand...

When you first cut the bars, cut them 2" wide, instead of 1" wide. Then lay the bars flat and cut 1" wide and that will reveal the pattern.
