                 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.
