Asareth, its really not that hard, just pour at a light trace, then I dot the colour all over then use a skewer or toothpick and swirl away ....
 
Tracey they look amazing! I love all your tops and especially the mix of colours for the yuzu.

I've bought the natures blush FO ... but don't have a plan for it yet.

*drooling*
Traceyann, Your swirls are beautiful!
I always had a question about adding the colorants like that, though; the color doesn't come off in the lather at all? (Newb here)
 
Salty do u mean "bleed" or "wear off"....they wont bleed, but will wear off in time as the soap is used , where as if you do a swirl through the whole soap it will last till the soap is finished
 
Well, I once put too much brown color (I think) in a chocolate mint soap I made, and I also added some cocoa. My lather was brown!
And in another soap (m&p) I tried to do a swirl by adding colorant and swirling it in and I ended up with purple lather! Maybe I used too much?

I understand how it would wear down, being it's superficial, and not all the way through the soap, and I thought 'bleeding' was just a m&p issue? So I'm not too sure what it's called when your lather isn't white but is affected by your colorants? Hope I'm explaining this right...
 
Ooooh! Those are nice! I love the 3rd one with the 2 color swirl. Really beautiful soaps!
 
Great swirls Trace, love the third one.

When you say chromium green, is that an oxide ? I've been after that colour and only managed a grass green in an oxide. Never been able to get that bright pink with ultramarine pink either.
 
Thanks Trace, not sure if I'll order from them now as I'd have to get a minimum order of $75 or they charge an extra $8. :shock:
 
Relle I will most probably be ordering from them in the future, I could ordr it and post it to u , it would still be cheaper than the $8 charge
