Those are some amazing soaps @Steve85569 ! I love how the soaps in the lower 2 pictures almost looks like an abstract landscape. I've never made a soap like that so can't give you any tips, but maybe you could give us tips on how you made those straight lines? :p
@Kafayat Adebowale oyeniyi that's a very good first try!

Thank.you soo much
 
They both too about 1 hour minimum (each) to mold.
The blue, green and white was done with the mold tipped and stable using honeysuckle hollow, pineapple mango and black amber musk FOs from Crafters Choice. Portions of the combined oils were split by weight after master batching. Each layer was poured and set before the alkali was added to the next layer allowing for the separate layers.

The botched attempt at the abstract landscape was done the same way using Red Santal from Soapalosa. I forgot about the discoloration so the white-ish is now becoming rather brown. :beatinghead:This one too close to an hour and a half to pour.
I learned quite a bit about the tipping and may set up a frame for a wooden mold so that the angle of tipping can be controlled. Carriage bolts and wing nuts in my future...:nodding:

Really great soap Steve.
The top two are spot on!
To get the layers absolutely flat in the bottom row of soaps I think you have to pour at a very light trace so the soap flows and sets level.

Your set up might need to incorporate the ability to bang the mold on the table for that very scientific levelling method.
