what i did yesterday

alright--one step closer to getting it right (thanks Kiwi) I made some mistakes that I need to work on. I obviously poured from too high-- the one bar is an end bar so I was closer to make sure I got it in the mold and I swirled it with a stick in the pot and I did it too much and it didn't gel all the way to the bottom. I have been putting a heating pad on top to get it to gel all the way, maybe I need to put it on the bottom instead--but I am closer!! I chose the colors as I was going to use the scent First Date but changed my mind at the last minute

Nice! I love those colors.. And very pretty tops. Practice makes perfect but I think these are already very good.

Too high or too thin. I'm thinking too thin.
There's a tricky thing to the drop swirl stuff.

Those are VERY nice looking!!
Can you do it again? ( repeatability is my problem)

I re-tried last night and used less colored soap and stirred a little less to mix it in ITP. I think its a bit more defined. but I still didn't get full gel. I cant decide if I should use more water or soap at higher temp?? I was at 113 for both lye and oils?
