Below are two of my soaps, both made with the hanger swirl technique. The first one is colored with activated charcoal and 2 golden micas. I'm pretty pleased how it turned out:
The 2nd soap is scented with yuzu fragrance oil. I made an attempt to draw a branch with leaves, but I also see a bird sitting on bamboo in the left soap. :)) Do you see it?
Восхитительные)) Я тоже вижу птичку.
ReplyDeleteспасибо, Анастасия!
DeleteMagnifique
ReplyDeleteMerci, Maya!
DeleteYes, I can see the bird! It is lovely. The black soap is striking... Is the foam white or black when using charcoal?
ReplyDeleteThank you very much, Madame Propre!
DeleteThe lather is white, as you can see in the other soap I made with charcoal here (the last picture):

Hi your soaps are so pretty! Do you use melt and pour? Or is it via hot/cold process?
ReplyDeleteThank you! My soaps are cold process (made from scratch) soaps.
DeleteDo you know if its possible to make these designs via melt and pour?
ReplyDeleteI am not sure, I have never tried it yet.
DeleteSimply gorgeous
ReplyDeleteThank you very much!
DeleteThese are incredible!! (and the bird is amazing) I've been trying hanger swirls but I think I'm leaving it to trace too much, do you find it works best at thin trace?
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot! I find it works best at thin to medium trace.
DeleteThese are just lovely... Are you using a log mold or flat mold?
ReplyDeleteThank you! For these I was using a log mold.
DeletePlease tell me how you can roll soap in your hand to form a ball? I've been making soap for a few years and can't imagine doing this.
ReplyDeleteThe hanger swirl method sounds fascinating and creative. Who would have thought that a simple household item like a hanger could be used to achieve such amazing patterns in soap. These soaps are impressing and it would be beneficial to use impressing packaging too!
