Another soap challenge, this time using a technique by Clyde Yoshida of Vibrant Soaps in California. He is quite an artist! This challenge is hosted by Amy Warden of Greatcakes Soapworks.
I used a bastille recipe to give me time to work with the colors of red, yellow,green and orange against a background of white. Scented with Them Apples and Home for the Holidays, both from Mad Oils. Love the way this smells. Very fresh green apples and a very light cinnamon. Very Autumn!
My pour was a bit quicker than optimum; I think moving slower would have made it more interesting. But still beautiful.
This is batch #2, scented with Sandalwood, Ylang Ylang, Bergamot, and Grapefruit. Smells intoxicatingly AWESOME! The pink top was going to go in the soap, but the batter thickened so quickly, the feathery swirls didn’t form. Love it anyway.
I think it’s such a versatile technique. You can make it up really quickly and have stunning results – feathers or not. You achieved some really great and unique swirls with your entry soap – love it!
Thanks Amy! Definitely would need to play more with this.
Very pretty! I especially like the purples batch.
Thank you! I like the purples too,but thought the top batch was more representative of the technique. I do love my purples and pinks, though!
