I just cut this neon swirl soap today and I am so pleased with how it came out!
I used the hanger swirl technique which is also this month’s soap challenge technique. I have been off-line lately (busy with school, travel and family issues) and I was looking to get back into experimenting with soap design. I was also excited to play with my new hanger tool from Michelle at the Great Soap Shop on Etsy.
I used a Bastille recipe (80% olive oil and 20% coconut oil) with 4 different neon pigments. The soap was scented with a sweet orange fragrance.
I did another hanger swirl soap before this one but was underwhelmed with the results. This time, I tried a different variation – I pulled the hanger vertically up and down the soap after pouring the 4 colors. I then did a Taiwan swirl on the top. Here is the soap after it was just poured into the mold.
Here is the soap after it was cut. I love how each bar has a different design. Some soaps are more yellow and while others are more magenta or blue.
Thanks Amy for another fun challenge! I look forward to seeing the other hanger swirl designs. 🙂
Absolutely beautiful colors….WOW!!!
Thanks Janet!
great neon choices!
Thanks Cris!
Just beautiful!!! Great colors & swirls!! I love it when a soap turns out the way you planned! 🙂
Thanks Amy! I always hold my breath a little before cutting the soap- you sometimes don’t know how it is going to turn out. 🙂
Wow that is one colorful soap. So pretty.
Thanks Bonnie!
Beautiful soap and what great swirls – love!
Thanks Zahida! I also love your design- you are so talented!
Wow, bang! These colours are awesome! I love bright soaps, and the swirls really set them off. So neon!
Thanks Lisa!
Love the burst of colors! When the lines are that fine, sometimes the colors merge into each other, but yours remained distinct. Beautiful top too! 🙂
Thanks Silvia! My other hanger swirl soap came out that way- the colors were very muddled and mixed together. I was expecting the same here but I am happy it came out so distinct.
