Wow beautiful bars both..... I really love the red one the colors and the swirl are awesome :) Is that a column pour? Love the green too have never tried yogurt before sounds like a great bar !!
 
Wowza, they look amazing! I have yet to try the zebra technique, i dont think i can. I have many videos about the technique but still gathering the courage to actually try it.
 
Sorry photo is upside down! No it's not a column swirl, it's a tall thin mould. 2.5 wide x 3 high. Used sheet of plastic set at angle in the mould and poured the different colours down the plastic. The mix of oils helps for a slow trace, first time I tried this tecnnique with pomace and it was too thick to pour. so I used second press olive And it worked better. Also temps were only 32c Although the yogurt soap began to Thicken up so I only did 3 passes of colours - the red soap has more layers because it stayed thinner for longer allowing me to play!!
 
I love them both!!!! The colors you selected go perfect with your FO. I wish a similar mold was readily available (ie not so darn expensive!!) here in the US. I like that you can make some nice tops if you want and still be able to roll the bar in your hand lengthwise while soaping up.
