I know the challenge is over, but...I thought I would share this since I shared my failed attempts and have been so baffled by this particular challenge. Early yesterday I made a batch of soap, poured the colors back into the main pot in the stacked circle pattern from one of the videos. I poured that into the loaf mold and as an after thought decided to run the handle end of my wooden spoon through the batter as we had done in the feathered mantra swirl. Just a bit ago, I unmolded the loaf and cut the first 6 bars like I normally would.
Then I got to wondering what it would look like with the horizontal cut.....so I turned the last chunk of the loaf over for that cut -
.... the closest thing I got to the feathered mantra swirl yet. It's not quite there, BUT I really like the way it looks. Thank you @Mobjack Bay for the challenge! My brain is stretching.....

Oh my land, both those cuts are beautiful! I really like your colors, too. I've only got 5 bushels of apples left to process - hoping to get 3 done today - and then.... We're getting more!I know the challenge is over, but...I thought I would share this since I shared my failed attempts and have been so baffled by this particular challenge.

Soapmaking has been calling me. I can't wait to get a bunch made for Christmas gifts!
Thanks for the kind words and for sharing pics of your soap. I love the fall colors. The combo of the layered pour, feathered mantra swirl and horizontal cut produced gorgeous soap!
Thank you! I have to be honest, I have been really jealous of your apple wealth!!Oh my land, both those cuts are beautiful! I really like your colors, too. I've only got 5 bushels of apples left to process - hoping to get 3 done today - and then.... We're getting more!
