Butterfly Swirl - Soap Challenge video tutorial


I have wanted to try  this technique for a VERY long time but Christmas time was a busy period so I did not have any time to play.
I then saw that Amy Warden from Great Cakes Soapworks was offering it as the January Soap club challenge so naturally I signed up.
I used coloured Micas from Kolortek that I purchased in December.

This is the soap cut. I was quite happy with it but had to give it another try.

    The first one is very nice, but I love how the butterfly takes over the entire soap in the second one. Beautiful colors too!

      I also like the second one. I had such a hard time choosing which to enter.

    Odette, In your Blue, Purple and Brown butterfly swirl soap, I was wondering if in fact you did a In-The-Pot Swirl it looks so different from what I have seen from most Butterfly Swirls. Did you happen to post a video doing the Blue version. I love the Blue color it almost looks like a Blue Glacier, would you mind saying how you got that blue color???
