Welcome to July’s Soap Challenge - Please read all the rules before participating
This month will be the Clyde Slide named after Clyde from Vibrant Soaps, it is a variation of an ITP swirl but you don't stir in the pot before pouring, you can find my video tutorial here - [ame]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oK6RypIS4AE[/ame]
The key feature I’m looking for in this challenge is the presence of feathering in your soap where the colours meet. Unfortunately my tutorial soap doesn’t show the best example of the feathering I mean so I will include some images of soaps that do.
Clyde also has lots of videos on his YouTube channel which demonstrate various ways of pouring the soap into the pot and also different ways of pouring into the mould.
I think this one really shows the feathering: https://youtu.be/T35qvpITaf4
I also like this one: https://youtu.be/PHu3X51NVck
If you search for Clyde Slide you will find lots of really great examples.
