I have mixed two techniques in order to obtain different patterns , one on the inside of the soap bar and one on the top. Here you have the links to the original videos showing the techniques: 1)  Tilted tiger stripe swirl 2) Multi-mica Taiwan swirl Since  I run out of castor oil,  I had to modify the recipe shown in video 1) as follows  😅 Recipe (slow moving trace): Olive oil (pomace)  70% Coconut oil  22.25% Palm oil (organic)  7.75% Note that the palm oil I buy from  The Soap Kitchen   'carries Organic Certification and comes from Columbia.

Our suppliers do use 'ethical' methods in their production (we have actually visited the site). Our Columbian suppliers are members of the RSPO (Round Table for Sustainable Production of   PalmOil).' Scent:   O range  EO ...

I tried to make swirls many many times... of course without succeeding! I don't know whether this time I can be satisfied with the result, but at least I prepared some nice candles that a french friend described as 'des morceaux  de ciel' (literally 'bits of sky' ). How to do this? Once I've seen a video (or maybe it was a blog/webpage) in which someone was using the following technique but with many colours all at the same time. 1) Melt and pour plain (no colours, some fragrance if you fancy it) soy wax in your containers 2) when the wax is firm, make some holes with the help of a wooden  skewer  or anything pointy. Holes should be as close as possible to the container's walls, and should be running along 3/4 of the candle. 3) drop some candle-specific liquid colour in the holes  4) heat  the container's wall  with a heat gun or a hair dryer. This will partially melt the wax allowing the colour to blend in. ...
