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. :)

Traveling Faux Funnel soap technique

As soon as I came back from California, I made another batch of soap with the Travelling Faux Funnel soap technique. I showed my first attempt at this technique in my previous post. This time the soap batter was a bit more fluid, so the design looks slightly different. I call this soap "carnival", it is scented with Daystar's Paradise.
