Mantra Swirl

Making soap is quite unpredictable.  You can hope for the finished look, but until it is cut you can never be sure.

Mantra swirl is also known as the secret swirl.  As its name suggested, the swirl is a secret until it is cut.  First you have to divide the mold into two parts to hold two colors.  Then you pour another color down the middle and to create the swirl using a coat hanger method.  How deeply this last part of soap will go depends on the trace stage of the soap, the lighter the better.

I had never used this fragrance oil before, I guess it accelerated trace a little bit, because there were tiny bubble rising while I poured the last part of the soap.  

A lesson learned, test your fragrance oil.
