How to make the curly waves? What technique is it? Any tutorial on YouTube to make the swirl?

It looks like a mix of plain batter alternating with a cosmic wave. I am sure it takes a lot of practice to get that look down. Here's a blog post on a similar kind of soap: http://greenladycreations.blogspot.com/2013/05/soap-is-art.html

And another similar soap where the Cosmic Wave portion is evident in the scene:

It could be a cosmic wave although that’s produced in a flat tray or it could be 3 layers in a loaf mold.

Pour the first layer with a raised top to resemble a hill. Leave it to set a bit. Pour the next layer then next. Then using a hanger tool along the length of the mold, only going through the top two layers, put it in the side and bring it up through the top layer quickly then do it again. This would produce the two waves.

Would the middle layer be two colours, PJ?

I think so. The middle layer looks like an in the pot swirl then poured as one layer.
Don't you think?

i agree, it looks like a cosmic wave with layering, very ineresting outcome. I’m definitely a fan of combined techniques

The uneven top is at the tall end of the soap, so it was created in a loaf, not a slab. And the feathering is vertical, not horizontal. So it's not quite what I think of as a cosmic wave. But whatever you call it, I think PJs theory is pretty good.

It almost looks like on some that there is single layering.
It's cool no matter what !

Maybe an in the pot swirl for the middle layer or perhaps using a spoon to lay down organized blobs of colour before using the hanger. I need to refresh my memory of a cosmic wave.
