So easy but just as tricky, that you have to hold the pouring at the same corner or point of the mold. I have already made a whole log soap, and recently I found that in small molds (like heart of flower shape) it works also well, and I got really beautiful marbled soaps. <br />Thank you so much for sharing this and the pictures are also very helpful and show the beauty of the soaps.<br />I intend to share this lovely idea among my soaper friends in my country as well. <br />Best wishes,<br />Eszter<br />(Eszti Szappanszertár/ Eszti's Soap Storeroom)<br />http://szappanszertar.blogspot.hu/2017/10/marvany-mintas-szappanok-marble-wave.html<br />KissyStarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06574091999220834113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-801646017081586724.post-82092431987807090712016-10-05T19:58:04.618-07:002016-10-05T19:58:04.618-07:00Absolutely Gorgeous!Absolutely Gorgeous!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-801646017081586724.post-26570153939884584092016-09-22T08:11:13.567-07:002016-09-22T08:11:13.567-07:00Hi Jelena,

I use different oils and butters, but I never use olive pomace oil, only regular olive oil.<br />Go for a recipe with approx.50% olive oil or other liquid oils. If you aren’t opposed to animal products in your soap, try some lard for a slow moving recipe.

Could you share what kind of oils you use?
