Oh boy, my soap is cut, but I haven't prettied it up or taken pics yet. I better get on the ball as soon as I get home!
I know I think the navy will get more purplish from the alkanet - and they will all fade probably. The navy might be too much indigo, not sure about the lather. I’ll post an update!

I didn't enter this month, only because I knew I wouldn't have the time. I gotta say, I do not envy those of you who have to vote. All of those entries are gorgeous!! Once my market season is over, I have every intention of trying this technique because I've been so impressed by what you all have accomplished.
Voting is going to be so hard! Please post when you do try this technique!
Oh no, I just closed the entry thread and I was a couple of hours late. I’m sorry you missed it.
I still haven't gotten pics taken
I'll just post them here when I do.
Please do! I always look forward to seeing your soap.I still haven't gotten pics taken
Oh boy. I poured mine but it is a mess! If I can get it out of the mold tomorrow I’ll try to enter it. How do people get this design to work? Mine is really laughable…
The colors and the shape of yours reminds me of jewelry, specifically the usekh collars worn in Ancient Egypt
The link for voting has been sent to those who signed up for this month’s challenge. Due to my delay in posting the voting survey, I will leave the survey open until 11:59 GMT on October 31st unless all votes are in before that.
Good luck everyone! This month’s entries and non-entries are all gorgeous and unique. It’s really striking just how much the color choices, small changes in pouring patterns, and even dividers with a mind of their own can change the aesthetic of soap made using this technique. I hope to see more laminar flow swirls in the future!

This was so fun and a great learning experience.

All lovely soaps. They all have something about them that I admire - pastels, colourways, directions of pour, number of channels etc.
I forgot to mention my fragrance choice - chosen purely for their slow moving contribution to the recipe: 50/50 Blood Orange and Ocean Rose ( Candle Science). Ocean rose is not really a rose smell - more of a fresh light ozoney floral. The two blend well and I'm going to call it Ocean & Orange.

This was a fun challenge! Everyone’s entries were lovely and it was so fun to see the different color combinations. Y’all are a creative bunch! Thanks, @Mobjack Bay, for hosting!
This challenge was fun and I love the look! I'll definitely be using this technique again. Thanks for hosting @Mobjack Bay !!
