Amy Warden's Butterfly Swirl Challenge

         This is French Lavender essential oil from Wellington. 

The butterfly swirl is difficult to do.  While we needed about seven batches of soap, there was a lot of practice time.  My family thought I was losing my mind as I kept going through the swirl motions in my mind and practiced the motions without the hanger in mid air.  I used the new tall silicone mold from Brambleberry (so cool).  The colors come from Mad Oils. 

This should be a bubbly bar as it contains Avocado, Babassu, Castor, Coconut, Palm, Shea Butter, Olive, Rice Bran and Palm Kernel Oil.

This was definitely fun to make, soapy times are always a blast.  Thank you Amy for choosing this challenge, it lived up to it's name.  The soaps that do not look like a butterfly still look as gorgeous as ever.

Well this has been a challenge for sure!  Just when I think all is good it is time to cut the soap, nervous, will it show a butterfly or just a beautiful swirl????

Here is one of the first tries.  I see a butterfly!  We are looking for one in two soaps set up in a mirror image.  These are from a Chamomile batch.

Just above is the second one from the same batch of soaps.  I think this is the best one so far.

Here is another from a different batch.  This is from a batch made with a scent called Tropical Blast.

 These are the lavender batch.  I see the butterfly here in each of these.
