Hanger swirl

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?

Valentine's Day Soap - Hearts

Do you see the hearts? :) These soaps were made using a combination of two techniques:  the Tiger Stripes & the Hanger Swirl.

The first soap is scented with Black Raspberry Vanilla:

The "rainbow heart" is scented with a blend of essential oils of lavender, rosemary, orange and lemon:

"Winter Frosting", in-the-pot swirl

Sometimes an ITP swirl comes out looking like this:

It resembles a butterfly, doesn't it?

Two more pictures of these trembling swirls, they look like the frost on windows. :)
