Lovely - I have tried for that effect, thus far not entirely successful. You nailed it!

Very pretty. I really want to learn how to make thin wispy layers like that.

 

[terminatortoo]

I used a a flat stick about half an inch wide to make the swirl after splitting the batter in 2 equal parts and used a center divider in the mold. I moved it back and forth across the two colors and then up and down a few times and that is it. Make sure your batter is not too thick.

That turned out so cool! So did the wine turn a tan/brown.. That's what it looks like in the pic but it might look different in person. What color was the sangria to start (I'm curious about colors can you tell?

Sangria is red but when I added the lye it turned green then orange then to a reddish brown. Now it is just brown and is darker today than it was yesterday.

Really pretty and it does look like wood! Does any of the wine smell survive the lye?

That looks so cool! Awesome! Even if turned darker it probably just makes the 'grain' stand out more.

It is turning darker as it cures.
