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!
Holy smoke this is GORGEOUS!!!!!

Oh no! It was just a matter of time until the Rorschach guessing game would commence! 
Your soap is a lovely tribute to your mother. Well done. Loosing one's mother is devastating. I often wish I could share little tidbits of my day with her or brag or cry about something to her. May your fond memories of her sustain you.
My heart goes out to you for your loss, Jersey Girl. I heard a wise insight regarding grief after losing my father: Grief is the space where we feel close to the person we’ve lost. For me, that concept frames grief as a positive process.
The celebration of butterflies and their connection with your mother was beautiful. She gifted you with a rich treasure of memories.

Too much going on this month, I really wanted to get an entry in, but I love seeing everyone’s soaps, and thank you for sharing your stories. I look forward to trying this technique!

What lovely news to wake up to. Thank you!
Congratulations to @ScentimentallyYours and @Cat&Oak.
This is a difficult technique and everyone did a spectacular job. I'm happy I was able to get butterflies, as I don't more often than I do when I attempt it.
Thank you @Primrose for hosting!

Wonderful news! Congratulations @dibbles on your incredible butterfly. To be honest, I just reviewed all the entries again and the only one I definitely remember voting for was yours, hands-down! Well deserved first place! @Cat&Oak your turquoise and gold butterfly brought a smile to my face. How on earth did you choose between that and the other two soaps that you posted? I flipped out over both of those!
The butterfly swirl soaps everyone entered were amazing. This forum is filled with extraordinary talent!!!

@ScentimentallyYours thank you so much - I loved your entry as well, but even more than the soap, the sweet story that went with it!

@ScentimentallyYours thank you so much you are so sweet!
Thank you @dibbles and @Cat&Oak and everyone who read the story about my daughter and the monarch chrysalises. Here is a pic of the first one released by her and her class.
@violets2217 incredible soap inspired me to keep my supplies out and try some monarch swirls.
