cwayneu Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 After our amazed viewing of Barbara AL's swirl work, and careful study her secret swirl pattern diagram :smiley2:, this was our best first attempt. Even with me watching (mmmm, breathing down Billie's neck) and trying to help, it was still a little difficult. We couldn't get the hang of placing the X's evenly over where each bar will fall. I think next time we can mark this better on the wood mold as a guide. They don't quite look like Barbara AL's, but turned out OK we think.We scented with Blue Sugar and colored with neon blue, turquoise and black. We have no idea where the turquoise went??? No snickering now, at least not in front of us. Here are the cut bars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
