While cooped up inside due to the frigid weather last week (and school, where I work, cancelled), I decided to make some soap

Ha! I was expecting some soap pics reminiscent of the polar vortex......
I'm not seeing pictures.

Argh! Let’s try that again...
Clay spoon plop, using up some small amounts of fo I wanted to get rid of and extra clays (though the yellow is turmeric)
Ghost swirl with Lavender 40/42, lard, CO, and castor oil. I have wanted to try out this technique for some time now.
BB’s Rose Quartz fo with rose clay ITP swirl
And no, it’s just what I did during the Polar Vortex. No polar soap, sorry!

Nice soaps. Sadly, I still had to drive into work. I have driving when it's snowing. People in my region just don't know how to handle it, so it seems.

Amazing soaps! Love the earthy tones in the first one. And the ghost swirl looks really good! I tried that technique....lets just say the way it looked after I cut it, I was a little scared to zap test it lol I'll have to try again.
Well done! Love that ghost swirl. I must try that technique again.

Nice!
They are beautiful - polar vortex or not.
LOVE the white one! *adds ghost swirl to list of things to try*
Heeheee.... you do know what a Polar Vortex is, right? North America is COLD!! Cool looking soaps.... Cold weather... perfect!
I love the ghost swirl - definitely worthy of the name Polar Vortex
With apologies to all Canadian members - I remember when I was growing up in Wisconsin, extreme cold weather was ALWASY blamed on Canada - for the life of me I cannot remember the name - but it was "Canadian something"
The weather man would show this huge low pressure zone zooming over the border from Canada. No WALL could stop it! HAH

What is this ghost swirl of which you speak? Inquiring minds.....
Hendejm, Ghost swirl is the high & low water technique Auntie Clara perfected. Here are some links:

Oooh I didn't realize when I typed haha but yes, I've heard how cold it gets.
Looks kinda like your glycerine rivers in the inverted colors beer soap, which is why I mentioned it there too hehe
