New swirl - needs a name

[agriffin]

Well...new to me. I'm sure it's been done before. It needs a name...shell swirl? Fan swirl? Tornado swirl? Help...

Inspired by this paper...

http://www.papermojo.com/Crepaldi-Bookb ... _1113.html

I think if I use a thinner swirling utensil I can get rounder curves like in the paper.

The really cool thing about is that when you look at it from different angles...it looks totally different.

From this angle it looks 3D.

I used natural colorants to color. I'll post how to do it on my blog tomorrow...but first it needs a name.

HAH! You are amazing.

I saw that paper thing and I was like "impossible."

:shock: it's awesome and a little trippy.

Jeez, when I seen that paper I thought it would be impossible to do that swirl in soap! But it looks like you replicated it pretty darn well! I can't wait to see how it looks unmolded!

Edit:

For the sake of it, can you please call it acid trip swirl? haha just jokes

I like the name of the paper - peacock swirl?

looks a little like mushrooms to me also... for some reason
mushroom swirl
clam swirl

Inspiring!!!!

I was thinking something shell like. I didn't think to look at the paper name. That would look like a peacock if you used green, blue and some black. Hmmmmmm....

 

[agriffin]

Dang. Now I have to do it again and round off the circles like peacock feathers. I think I like peacock swirl.

Amanda -

You're so awesome! That is incredibly trippy. I didn't think the paper could be duplicated, either. I thought the same thing Tasha did and that it kind of reminds me of mushrooms.

I like the name 'Shroom. :wink:

 

[Fyrja]

Beautiful! The first thing I thought of was scales on a mermaid's tale.

WOWSER................Amanda that is incredibly beautiful Oh my goodness please do the peacock swirl soon I can only imagine how spectacular that one will be!!!!!!!!! Dont have a name for you I love the peachy colour and think of Salmon LOL sure you dont want to name your soap something fishy

 

[Soapy Gurl]

I thought peacock when I saw it too! I am beyond amazed that you duplicated that paper. You are incredibly talented.

I thought it looked like an oyster when I first saw it - Oyster Swirl ?

 

[nattynoo]

I instantly thought peacock feathers.
You did an amazing job Amanda.

 

[Traceyann]

OMG how beautiful is that.......I could only dream to one day make something as amazing as that soap......

 

[Pretty n Plain]

AMAZING!!! :shock:

 

[Fullamoon]

I've got it! How about "Mother of Swirl"?

 

[falldowngobump]

Oh my!!! Beautiful. I hope you do a tutorial on how to do that some day!!!

 

[LauraHoosier]

Oh my gosh that is so awesome!! Great job, Amanda!

 

[judymoody]

Another vote for peacock. It was the first word that came to mind.

I like this one. Very clever! However, Peacock would be a great name if you did this swirl in blues, greens and gold.
