Soap Challenge 2013: Week 2 – Elemental Swirl
Welcome back to week 2 of Great Cakes Soapworks Soap Challenge. This week the challenge was to do an Elemental Swirl. This challenge made me nervous and excited at the same time. Nervous because I have never attempted anything like this before and the fact that timing is everything. I certainly didn’t have time to procrastinate. I was worried that my soap batter was going to thicken way too quickly and that it wouldn’t work out. I used a fragrance oil that I had never soaped with before (which really isn’t a good idea when trying something new – especially with swirls). It worked in my favour, to my relief! I had to pre-plan everything out. It took me awhile to decide on which colours to use. Excited because I have seen this technique before and wanted to try it but too nervous too! LOL. So it is a good thing for this challenge, as I probably wouldn’t have attempted this on my own.

very striking!
Oh, don´t think your soap looks muddy. The swirls are so pretty and much thinner than I got.
Great colours! I really like the top layer.
Beautiful bright colors!
Looks good to me!

Thoes are so nice, I love look
After you said the top layer was muddy, I was expecting muddy soap – not AT ALL what you have! Gorgeous!
Beautiful job! I love the depth of the colors.
Oh, my! Those bars are beautiful. They look so impressionistic – which I see is the point. LOVE THEM!
What a super creative interpretation of the elemental swirl, this design is gorgeous! =)
