Darbla Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 To me, the orange, brown, and gold colors of the very first soap at the top of this link are gorgeous:http://www.magicalomaha.com/HauntSoap.htmIs that swirled look difficult to make?

8-GRAN-ONES Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 I don't blame you for wanting to make it..it is beautiful..It looks to me like the soap had a divider right down the middle...to get the colors that way..??? but how would they have then took the divider out???Yes I would like to be able to figure it out too..and I love the colors too..The swirls on top are nice...Maybe someone will give some pointers..there are some very smart and knowlegable people here...

CareBear Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 I can do the two colors by pouring at med-thick trace simultaneously - but the third is harder. Not sure how to do that.ETA - on closer inspection looks like they did pour the two main colors side by side simultaneously then went back and poured the middle color (from a great height to get it to penetrate).

eugenia Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 Very pretty! Definitely a log mold, and pretty thick trace for that textured top.e Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asheebeans Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 Pretty soapies!! (and I am in LOVE with those labels...scroll down. I want to learn how to make those! LOL Mine suddenly look amateurish now. :embarasse ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carrie Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 My first thought was a removable divider. Remove it at thick trace and pour the brown into the gap and swirl the top a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8-GRAN-ONES Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 Those are pretty labels...All those soaps are pretty..I have the label factory deluxe, but it surely doesn'thave very pretty clip art..does anyone know of a nice clip art software?

deb12c Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 I think they used an upright log mold with dividers. You can make a divider using thin plexiglass. I wanted to put a picture here of a soap make with an upright log mold using one divider in the middle I can't find it right now. If I find it I will come back and post it. It was a blue and yellow soap. After he pulled the divider out he took a long dowel rod and swirled it twice in a circle pattern.EditI can't share the picture because of a copywrite but I can post the link, which is even better because you can see how he did it.http://nizzymoulds.com:80/BLue%20&%20Yellow.htmThe picture that the OP posted, the third color looks like they poured it from a high distance after removing the divider and swirled a little different. They are not showing the whole bar, maybe the brown didn't go all the way down. I don't see how it could in an upright mold. :smiley2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CareBear Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 These were made in a regular horizontal log mold. I poured them simultaneously at medium grace from separate pitchers - one in each hand. No special equipment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wllng2lrn Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 THAT'S SOME COOL LOOKING SOAP. THIS IS A NEWBIE SOAP, OH GOODNESS, HOW HAPPY YOU MUST HAVE BEEN TO DO THIS. THIS SOAP IS NICE.M&M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CareBear Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Isn't that a hoot? The orange-yellow one was maybe my 5th batch.My first 2 batches were castile, my third was a THREE LAYER MILK & HONEY SOAP (actually used half & half and honey in all parts, and a discoloring FO in the middle layer), then some horrid fabric softener scented number with an ugly blue swirl-ish thing, and then my lovely orange-yellow number.Here's the 3-layer for chuckles. I don't think I could do this now to save my life. Anyway, what I'm saying is that you can do ANYTHING even if you are a newbie - with a bit of luck.
