Hello
everyone,
This is my
second Soap Challenge Club (first one December entry with Impression Mat
technique is here and its continuation for how I made my 3D model for silicone
mat is here). As I’m at my beginnings, this month technique is new for me as
well as many others))) So, for Circling Taiwan Swirl it is my first time:
- Doing this technique
- Working with dividers
As for
soapmaking in common I decided to try:
- mica-dividers technique (as Teresa Mahoney is doing)
- Anne L. Watson’s way to tell that batter is ready to pour which is hers temperature method (I found it in her book Smart Soapmaking)
- Elaine Wright’s method of cleaning up soap (may be found on her YouTube channel)
- Ghost swirl first done by my “soapmaking God” Mrs. Clara Lindberg
- Big superfatting (10%) – I made my soaps normally 6-7%
- Using clay or salt to “lock” the scent inside the soap. Preparing to do my next one salt bar I found information that some folks “lock” the scent by putting EOs in salt for the salt bars or in clay or similar things. I decided to try it.
