POP! Mica Swirl

Cosmo · Sep 17, 2012

Today I decided to experiment a bit with swirls. I wanted something bright and cheery. For this I used POP! micas tangerine, lemon drop, blueberry, and grape with titanium dioxide for a white contrast.

Here's another:

I did this by alternating all the colors in the bowl in layers, like this:

Easy peasy, and some nice swirls!

If you want to try it, I posted instructions on my blog. I really like swirling this way. I'm pretty swirl impaired, but I'm very pleased with this result.

I scented it with lavender fragrance. It smells good, too! I'm going to auction this soap off at my sister-in-laws cancer benefit. I wanted a soap that would match her personality.

That is an awesome swirl!

Thanks for sharing the pic and the info. I hope it goes really well at the auction, too. Please let us know how it goes.

eta: BTW, the two soaps you weren't happy about that you showed in your tutorial - I would have been thrilled to have achieved either one.
