@SoapDaddy70 Butterfly swirl, not bee swirl
It would be nice to see how this butterfly would come out after a swirl without an accelerating fragrance. It’s nice the fragrance brings sweet memories.Here's my single attempt and non-entry.
It was inspired by a photo from our honeymoon of a golden birdwing butterfly:

The colours came out pretty well, and the mango and jasmine scent is just the sort of exotic chaos I remember from Thailand
Unfortunately, the rapid acceleration put paid to my swirling plans, and this was the result:

Oh, it's no secret, that clock wound down about 10 years ago. Actually at the time, it was more like a bomb timer going off, but we've all gotten past that, thankyouverymuch.@AliOop , It's still really nice, and I like the color combo and design.
Um, can I ask you something personal in a public forum? Is your biological clock ticking?
You know there is a market for woman organ themed soaps right? I bet some nonprofit could use that soap in its fundraiser.Alas, no butterflies from my accelerated batch, either, but mostly because I swirled in the wrong direction.
But if we ever have a twins-in-the-womb challenge, I'm all in!
(which reminds me that my very first butterfly swirl attempt resulted in a full set of female abdominal reproductive organs: ovaries, tubes, and uterus! Not sure what to make of this recurring theme in my swirls... )
Thank you so much for the kind encouragement!@ScentimentallyYours those are all amazing! Any one of 2, 4, or 5 could have been a contender for a placing finish in the challenge.
Thank you! Now you know how I feel when I’m looking at your soap!@ScentimentallyYours
Your soap is amazing' like I'm so jealous' just kidding, .
Until now I've always thought that organs were unisex . Have to have a close look next time I'm in a church, if there is more to the gender gap among organists than the notorious machismo in clerical hierarchies.You know there is a market for woman organ themed soaps right?

Or, it's twin chryslises.Alas, no butterflies from my accelerated batch, either, but mostly because I swirled in the wrong direction.

My deepest condolences .
Beautiful Soap' Wow!!! left image a "Beautiful Butterfly" Right Image I see a "beautiful butterfly" in the image of a lady in high heels with a Flared Skirt.I tried one more pour, mostly because I loved @earlene ’s monarch colors! I went with AC and
Nurture Soap Eye of the Tiger and Fire Fly. I also wanted to try out a FO I got from Soapalooza. It’s pretty awesome and behaved a little to well! I was afraid it was gonna be too fluid and mix. Plus it smells pretty good.. Lavender Ginger. I couldn’t wait until morning to cut it! As soon as I got home from work I unmolded it! It was still warm!
But OMG! I’m so pleasantly surprised! I will never be able to recreate this! Thanks @Primrose this was a awesome challenge and @earlene for the inspiration!

I think the very thin trace did have the colors blending a bit with the base making the charcoal a pleasant gray and shading to the orange and yellow! I’m so excited!

Wow! Absolutely gorgeous! How on earth did you get the black outline colors on the outside? I think thin trace works really well with the butterfly swirl, and it certainly worked for you here @violets2217. Eye of the tiger and firefly colors are perfect! Did you pour the colors separately or use an ITP technique for the color pour?I tried one more pour, mostly because I loved @earlene ’s monarch colors! I went with AC and
