SMF February 2020 challenge - Ione swirl

[AliOop]

May I never have to attempt a hanger swirl again!

Really? Yours were great! Maybe try again without the pressure of a contest

I cut my first attempt this morning. The hanger swirl was not as bad as my previous attempts but I am not loving the color combo. Looked at a trusty color wheel and ordered a new mica from Nuture (snuck in a tall skinny mold too) for attempt 2.

If anyone struggles with color I found this to be helpful.

Love the color calculator! Thank you from the color challenged!

Hanging up the hanger.

I have never had a good hanger swirl. This challenge was as close as I got to okay. The rest of my attempts became homeless soap. (I donate the fugly stuff every couple of months)

@Jersey Girl that soap is gorgeous. The swirls are perfect and I like the colors very much!

Thank you very much. Your kind words mean a lot to me. I am so immersed in learning everything I can and this forum is a wonderful support.

You are WAY too hard on yourself... those soaps were much better than "okay."

I double dog dare you to try again! I know you can do it!

In a breech of etiquette, she skipped the double dare and went straight to the double dog dare...lol. Love that movie.

I felt that all of the soaps were beautiful, I had a really hard time narrowing down to only 3. I am somewhat speechless that I placed when there were so many great entries.
Thank you @Primrose for running the challenge. This was definitely outside of my comfort zone, so I am still in shock. But entering this has helped me get past my fear of swirls, so thanks for the push.

I have wanted to try the butterfly swirl but with my luck it will look more like one of the moths from Silence of the Lambs

No, don’t give up. Your soap was very pretty!

Well, that butterfly swirl is pretty elusive. But it is gorgeous.
