eugenia Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 Could someone point me in the right direction on information. TIAWhen you are using a fragrance that will discolor and darken, you reserve some soap before you add fragrance to add as a swirl. It's called a "blind swirl" because the fragranced part darkens over time and you can't necessarily distinguish the two as you do the swirl. I'd show you a pic, but the 2nd try did not work either and I had to rebatch e Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sara Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 I did post one in the gallery last night, don't know if you saw it. Eugenia explained it well. It is kind of fun to do and see the swirls emerge later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diamondk Posted August 3, 2005 Author Share Posted August 3, 2005 Hey Sara, yes I did see your gorgeous soap and that is why I ask what it was. Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How the heck did you do that vanilla swirl? It's unbelievable. e Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sara Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 Not all my blind swirls turn out right. I kind of picture things in my head when I do it. That one, though, when I was swirling I went vertical, horizontal and vertical and it probably would have been more cris-crossy if I stopped at the vertical. I did a Pink Sugar swirl the other day and oh goodness it looks like crap. REBATCH!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
