PhoenixFyre Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 My first attempt at making some swirls! This is the 8th batch of CP soap I've done and I finally said heck with it, I'm trying a swirl, lol. I've done a few in-the-pot swirls, but this was the first time trying something like a butterfly swirl (although no butterflies made an appearance in this loaf, ha-ha). I still think it came out interesting, though. Smells lov-er-ly...scented it with Elderflower from Mad Oils and Ylang Ylang from New Directions. The micas are all Mad Oils micas...Satin Penny, 3 Olive Martini, and Grape Nehi. I'm also doing an extra happy dance over here because a soap supplier opened up just a few cities away from me! When Peak closed down their Colorado warehouse, costs for shipping of all my candle supplies went up for me, so I'm happy that I can now get soaping supplies locally to cushion that extra cost burden. Woot-woot. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhoenixFyre Posted June 24, 2016 Author Share Posted June 24, 2016 Thanks again all! I had showed this soap to my husband when I first cut it, and he gave me one of those it-looks-nice-because-I-love-you smiles. Today, I showed him a butterfly-swirled soap I purchased from another soaper and he said, "Wow, that looks good!" Then I told him it wasn't mine...at least he had the decency to look sheepish. Time to practice more! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debratant Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 I love it....I do see a winged creature though!! This is how most of mine come out....my first one looked like a moth! But...I see an exotic bird....if you look at the bar as an individual...I kinda see a peacock! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't see that until you said it. I drove myself crazy staring at it, hoping to see a butterfly...and it kept morphing into weird creatures. Then I felt like they were staring at me whenever I walked by the, so I gave up and just decided it was a swirled blob. It's cool, though. Motivates me to try again!
