swirl attempt failed!

[Milla]

Here is my yucky swirl attempt. I hate this soap. I was imagining an almond joy type bar and ended up with blah!

I scented it with Autumn Harvest, which had vanilla. I didn't think about what it would do to the soap. I think I'll give this away to my male relatives.

It's smells like cinnamon and spices.

looks very nice...swirls on top are great...i'm not very accomplished in swirls yet so i can't recommend what to do other than to pour from a height if this is a poured swirl...what technique did you use for swirling?

Nothing wrong with that soap! It might not be what you expected, but it has a nice look to it. I bet it smells wonderful. I just love cinnamon and spice fos.

Keep up the good work!!

what technique did you use for swirling?

Technique?? just kidding. Well, I tried to pour from high up and tried to have a light trace.

I couldn't tell how far down the brown soap went in. Then I used a chopstick and went up on down one length and then swirled it width wise.

I was winging it. I should definitely read more about how to swirl. I just wish I could see inside my soap!

You might not have gotten the swirl you wanted but that soap looks great!

Like everyone else said, it looks great! The color seems like a great match for your scent as well.

Whether it's what you had in mind or not, I think it's beautiful soap! No one would ever know you didn't plan it just like it is.

Failed or not- it looks absolutely great - it suits the soap, makes is classy!

i agree with everyone else! that's nice soap!

this is the ZEN of soaping-it created it's own dynamic!

like planting a mixture of seeds and watering it-you never know quite what's going to pop up!

 

[ChrissyB]

Yep I agree with everyone else.
That soap is lovely. Even if it wasn't what you were aiming for, sometimes it's got a mind of it's own! I think it's great.

 

[Milla]

You're all too kind. Thanks!

your soap looks fantastic, way to go .

 

[honor435]

i think it looks yummy, i ve tried swirls numerous times, still trying!

 

[Godiva]

It looks great! Looks like you got good penetration with the brown soap. Went almost half way down, which is way better than what I've gotten thus far.

 

[Moiby]

Yep - totally gorgeous!
The fragrance sounds yummy too!

Unless you tell them, the recipients won't know that wasn't on purpose. I love that look!!

Thank you thank you! Way too kind. My husband said he wants to put whipped cream with a cherry on top and eat it.
