My new
Hawaii Soap which was temporarily named Kailua Bay has been a hit lately. Now onto the good stuff.
I've been dying to try this technique and finally got around to it.

Part 1 of the process |
My sister was smart enough to grab the camera to catch the action as it was happening. We were both beside ourselves with excitement.

Part 2 of the pour - We were both taking turns with the pour hoping the trace wouldn't get too thick. | | |

Part 3 - looking groovy baby - At this point I wondered if the colours were too vibrant. | | | | | | |

All the soaps at a glance |
After much trepidation I decided to use White Tea and Ginger fragrance and it worked out beautifully. I'm not sure if I will call this one Rainbow soap but that is it's temporary name. I can't wait to make another soap like this.

Stunning column swirl. Love it.
Wonderfull!! I like them very much.
The colors are so beautiful.
Greetings
They are very beautiful! Very nice cheerful colors! =)
Woohoo! I havent tried this technique yet, but I'm all over it. Yours came out too awesome!
Oh my those are soooo nice, I wish my molds would work with this kind of swirl but they are long and high so probably not! I love the colours, I almost want to make a mold especially so I could try, was it fun?
Gooooorgeous!!! Wow! xo Jen
Thanks everyone, yes it was fun but I was a bit worried about thick trace. I have lots of other ideas next time I try it.
boh....wow....great!!!Wonderfull!!!!
Now they are utterly stunning! The colours are wonderful and the design is just so lovely. Congrats to you!
Great column swirl. I love how the colors turned out. A little more muted than the raw soap but they go great together, and are fitting for WT&G. Beautiful!
So cool. So gorgeous. Thanks a ton for sharing. I wonder what they would be like with more tone on tone colors ? You know like maybe if I was in a reflective mood or just lazy ?
"Duuude....Those are like, tooootally awesome...like, they're blowin' my miiind man!"
GREAT JOB, Michelle! :D
Thanks for the lovely comments to those who recently posted. I'm sure any colours would work. Just experiment and see what happens.

This soap is really gorgeous. I love how the colours turned out. Happy, sunny!

Woo hoo!! If I had a slab mold, I'd definitely be trying that method too! Looks like you two nailed it - great job!!
