I know you were probably going for the blue stripe like in the his and hers soaps you made, but I have to tell you, I think this looks killer. The blue on the sides accents the differences between the top and bottom swirls and gives it a real modern art look. I love this. I would love to see you try to replicate this in the future.

Why thank you! you are right, that is what I WAS going for lol :p
 
I know you say this isn't exactly what you were going for, but it is still beautiful :)
 
As my fifth grade teacher used to say when she would look at our watercolor paintings . . . "Interesting. Tell me about it." Which meant she couldn't tell what the heck I was going for but I probably didn't get there. But who cares!?! Your soap looks great. I'm dying to know how you got that swirl on top. Was it sort of like a mantra swirl?

Im not sure what a mantra swirl is yet but all I did was do figure 8's all the way down the loaf. Hope that helps!
 
thanks! I actually want to try doing a zebra swirl using black and white so it looks like the real deal.. plus I have a little idea to throw into the mix.. but ya'll have to wait and see :silent:
 
Mantra swirl

Im not sure what a mantra swirl is yet but all I did was do figure 8's all the way down the loaf. Hope that helps!

A mantra swirl is where you put a divider in your log mold and pour two colors side by side, then you remove the divider and do the figure 8 swirling like you did except you put the swirler (I use a knitting needle) all the way to the bottom of the mold so the whole batch is mantra swirled. I haven't done the mantra swirl yet but it's on my "to do" list. You can also put two dividers in and do a 3 color mantra swirl.
 
oh, ok I remember watching something like that on utube. I guess I did the mantra swirl on top but not all the way through and didnt use a divider. Its on my TO DO list too!
