Peacock Swirl Soap

How to Make a Peacock Swirl

In Cold Process Soap

 

I'm so excited!

At the Handcrafted Soap and Cosmetic Guild conference,

AKA The Soap Conference,

I got to attend a session on a very cool kind of swirl.

 

It's called the peacock swirl.

 

Anne-Marie, the Soap Queen and the CEO of Bramble Berry,

 Invited me to be a guest blogger on the Soap Queen Blog.

She missed the soap conference this year.

She was awaiting the arrival of her sweet baby girl.

So I get to write about some of the sessions.

The Peacock Swirl is one of the sessions I wrote about.

I hope you'll stop by The Soap Queen blog and read about

The Peacock Swirl.

Soap Flop?

Last week I was anxious to try a couple of new cold process soaps.

Here’s a video of one of them.  It’s on YouTube too.

The soap set up super fast and was nearly solid when I smushed it into the mold.

I was afraid the layers might split apart once it was cut, but all is good!

It doesn’t have the exact look I was going for,

but the layers stuck.

The bars don’t look too bad considering

what it took to get the soap into the mold.

It’s scented with a refreshing lime mint.

This one still needs a name.  Any suggestions?
