I was so excited to get to work today to see the swirls I made up last night. The batch did not go through gel phase (my soap studio was kind of cool last night) so you can see that the colors have diminished in intensity and hue. But, I still am excited about them and love the look. I am a bit impatient so I think I’ll freeze the batch solid to see if I can get the soap out a day or two earlier than if I let it air dry naturally.
This is the recipe I used (screenshot from the iPhone Soapmaking App):
PS: See the little soaps off to the right hand side of the big loaf? That’s the project I’m working on for tomorrow’s blog post. It’s down to the wire to create the cutest soap project I can for your Easter soaps! =)
It’s a little soft coming out of the mold but it cures lovely.
Robin, what’s your email addy? Email me with it at ceo (at) brambleberry (dot) com and I’ll email you the recipe, redone, for your 3 pound size. =)
I pour at a more thin trace AND make sure that the fragrance I’m using doesn’t accelerate trace too much.
Definitely! Hopefully this week!
Black, Violet and Yellow Oxides =) No worries about reading backwards …
Those swirls are divine!
The recipe sounds yummy too!

Is there anyway you could post the CP recipe you did the swirl on in a 3lb. batch size please? I don’t have the iphone app. I’d love to make the cp soap but in a much smaller batch. Thanks so very much!
How did you keep the top so smooth? Usually with all the different swirls mine starts to get lumpy. Ittr looks great.
Will you be showing these unmolded?
To clarify my below answer: Bramble Berry will have the molds for sale late next week in a 6 pound size and then add a 10 pound size the following week. I love love love the size.
I did white, colors, white, colors, white and finally colors and then did some careful nifty spatula work with it. I can’t wait to photograph it and show the final bars =)
Thanks Anne-Marie. Can I ask did you pour the whole lot of white in then swirl around the colours or did you do white then colours and white then colour layers? It looks great I am very impressed. Might have to give it a go!
Aw thanks. I’m so glad that you’re liking the site. It’s super fun to think of new ideas for everyone.
These are gorgeous. I love the mold and can’t wait to see it on the site again. 🙂 I am a new SQB reader and have found a wealth of information, inspiration, and innovation here. Thanks for sharing this wonderful site with us.
AWESOME… I can’t wait………YIPEEEEEEEEEE
Thank you so much. I was delighted when it came out so well. I have to give credit to the fragrance oil for giving me so much time to work with it! =)
So far, I am loving it! It really allows for a better conversational experience since I can reply directly to comments instead of just one big paragraph.
Awesome – let me know when your soap blog is up so I can be sure to put it on my list of frequently visited blogs. =))
Totally fine – I do that too! (read backwards)
The CP Swirling will be a premium episode (we’re flying KB Shimmer up here to guest star in it with me!) but KB does have some sneak peaks at how she does her swirling here: http://kbshimmer.blogspot.com/…
Bramble Berry will have those fabbo molds in about two-three weeks. This was one of my final tests.
In 141 ounces of total product, I went way excitedly over the top and used 10 ounces of Energy and Yuzu. I’m crazy for scent and usually go way overboard.
Definitely try more colors – and let me know how it goes! =)
oh the colors came out so pretty! It really pays off doing swirls with 4 colors 🙂 gotta try this out too.
The colours are popping. My jaw actually dropped when I saw those pics. Too dreamy!

Ist etwas ungewohnt, aber wir sind ja lernfähig.
Die Seife sieht toll aus, bin gespannt, wie sie fertig aussieht.

Oops! I’m reading posts backwards. I see you posted the colorants you used in the previous post.
Gorgeous soap! Can you share what colorants you used? I can’t wait to see the Easter project too.
I like the new comment section too. it’s nice not having to type in the distorted code words. I get those wrong about half the time.
Diminished colors? They look great! Love the new mold, and the new comments section is a winner.
