Last week we had another "duel" with my friend Tatsiana Serko. We were inspired by this gorgeous soap made by soap.baby: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/460070918166133618/ I've also seen a beautiful soap called Stormy Sea made by Fräulein Winter which has a similar swirl pattern. The goal of the duel was to create soap with a "feathered circles" look. I haven't seen any tutorial on how to achieve it, so I had to improvise. Tatsiana came up with her own modification of this technique and we decided to call it Cosmic Wave. You can see her amazing soaps in this blog by steso. I made several attempts with this technique until I was satisfied with the result. :) Here is one of them. The soap is scented with brambleberry's Neroli & Shea Blossom - it smells fantastic and it gives you all the time you need for swirling! Neroli & Shea Blossom - "Cosmic Waves" soap technique The soap was colored with 5 different micas: gold, yellow, 2 shades of khaki, and brownish eggplant (a blend of micas). This is how the soap batter looked like in the pot: just before pouring into the mold This is another batch of the same soap, taken out of mold. It makes 6 bars: "Cosmic Wave" or "Feathered Circles" soap technique My starting point for this technique was based on these soaps created last fall. While they were made in log molds and the feathered swirl was expected to be revealed inside each bar, I couldn't help but notice the swirls I got on the top of the soaps. So this time I used a similar approach, only instead of pouring all the soap batter in one spot of the mold, I poured it by small quantities into multiple spots. So here are 2 more soaps created with this technique. One of them is called Orange whirlwind: Orange Whirlwind soap - "cosmic wave" swirls And finally my Blue Moon soap. It is colored with Nurture Soap micas: Teal green, Turquoise, Wisteria purple and Black mica: Blue Moon - "cosmic wave" soap swirls
