Soap Challenge Spinning Swirl - Mirage

My soap for the spinning swirl challenge is called Mirage. :) It is scented with Fata Morgana and has six different colors if you count the black and white.

I used Khaki Yellow, Yellow Vibrance, Orange Vibrance, and Fandango Pink micas, all from Nurture Soap Supplies.

I used squeeze bottles to draw straight lines:

 

After pouring the soap, I gave the mold several good spins clockwise. I stopped spinning when it started to look muddy:

 

 

I was really nervous to cut the soap, but was very happy to see the swirls inside! They all look so different!

Many thanks Amy for organising the challenge! I love this technique and will be using it again!

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.

The initial pour:

Then using a chop stick I made a back and forth motion that produces a Chevron pattern. The next step was to make “S” curves. Here is the result!

Here is a close up picture:

 

And here are the cut bars:

 

 

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!
