Soap Challenge Club – DNA Helix Swirl

Here is my entry for the February Great Cakes Soapworks soap challenge. The design is a DNA / Helix swirl.
I used 8 colors: Red mica, Orange vibrance, Yellow vibrance, Spring green, Blue vibrance, Klein blue and Vibrance Purple and Black mica, from Nurture Soap Supplies.

Below is my initial attempt at this technique. I like the soap but unfortunately the 'spiral swirls' were not defined enough. :)



As usual, this was a fun swirl challenge. Thanks Amy!
