Very very first swirl attempts

[Anich]

Gosh, this is far more difficult than I could even imagine! However, I think these turned out pretty nice given that they're my very first swirls. The recipe was 20g castor, 120g coconut, 80g olive and 40g shea butter. I used Gracefruit Violet color. I think it might have been better with titanium dioxide for the "white" sections, but I'll have plenty of time to correct that in later batches. So here they are:

The surface looks quite horrid because I haven't smoothed them yet, sorry for that

You are being too critical. I think your swirls are gorgeous and I'm green with envy. I can't believe this was your first attempt. Very well done.

Is that an ITPS?? (in the pot swirl)

Thank you SO much everyone, it's so good to hear you like my experiments It's always exciting to show something you've done for the first time.

I got it from a local distributor here in Finland. Gracefruit is a British company and I'm not sure if they ship worldwide. They have very nice colors and scents and I'm glad we have this distributor here

And yes, it is an ITPS (if I've understood the term correctly) and I'm actually not sure what are the other ways to make swirls... :mrgreen: I guess I'll have to find out, this was the first one that came to my mind.
