Moved Faux funnel: Challenge soap

I've participated in an other soap challenge in the forum Couleur Savon. We had to choose between 2 challenges:

Inclusion into soap or a variation of the faux funnel method

I chose the faux funnel as you can see in the title. The most difficult thing was to choose an original way to do the funnel. First, I thought about a special tool to create a shape into the soap but I was short of time to create it so, I decided to play with the mold instead of the funnel

Something new which I was excited to play with, my plexi-mold that I had for Christmas! And believe me, If you like to do swirls into your soap, that is the mold that you should have. I could have a very thin trace without problem to play with ( my wood mold was a Gruyere, I couldn't have a very thin trace without  it overflow everywhere) and I could tilt my mold easily to swirl the soap as I wanted. And it's very easy to unmold. I'm very pleased with this Plexiglas mold, but I still love my wood mold for regular uses

Identity

Saponified oils: Olive, coco, avocado oil, cacao butter, shea butter, castor oil

Colour: Charcoal for the blue, cacao powder for the brown and natural white colour
Lye solution: 0.1% of tussah silk

Results

I don't have any pictures of the way I tilted my mold to do the swirl. In one word, I tilted it on one side and I poured the colour one by one inside the mold by doing a round trip. It's not easy to explain

And I quite like the result! The only thing is a pity, the funnel is not as original as I wanted. I thought I could have had an unusual effect by using this method but finally, it looks like a normal faux funnel. Anyway, it's ,despite everything, a very nice result

 

By the way, look how this soap looks like this snail shell! Incredible
