Well done Mandy...good effort. Markets can be such good fun.
I too appear to be swirl challenged. I have watched/read everything i can find
online about how to swirl but just can't manage to get the swirl all the way
down the entire bar - it just ends up as a blob of colour at the top. I think
my issue is too thick a trace. Something to work on i guess.
I do have a question for the forum if i may. I'm wanting some advice on
colouring. My green's and yellows just fade too quickly. It's so disappointing
when they start off being so vibrant and the colour just disappears. I am
currently using chlorophyll for green and annatto or beta carotene for yellow.
I find the annatto to give more of an orange than a yellow but i am trying to
find a real yellow. Can anyone suggest alternative greens and yellows that
will hold.

The mold I was using was the first real one I have ever used real as in not
recycled ie made for the purpose…it was lined with black plastic like a rubbish
bag I guess quite thick plastic….when I have used box molds I have lined with
baking paper.
I used a beater to swirl my mold. You could try a funnel with an upright mold
ie 2 jugs pour alternatinvely into funnel which is stationery above mold..i
havent tried this and some of my swirls don’t work usually the ones I don’t try
to swirl work better than the ones I do try so me giving swirling advice, well
..i am still perfecting my technique shall I say!

It is good to hear you had a great time Mandy
Liz/Mandy.....I’m just curious ... do you have to line your soap moulds so they
don’t stick to the formica or does it just slide off? The other thing was how
would you do a swirl when your mould stands up vertically?
Thanks
Heather

Well it just felt like it was happening….stalls and people, atmosphere..music,
kids, community..everyone said it was so great and I made it happen..the only
thing I forgot with the huge pile of things I had to take unfortunately was the
soap I made yesterday, I waas going to take it down and cut it! And share the
fun…well I will make sure I do it next month. Well I am cutting it now, I used
lizs mold for the first time and did a swirl, its very interesting and its
great to do such a big amount at once really esopecially when the recipe is
suscccessful and doesn’t trace like there is no tomorrow, I had time to play
with it, and it just lifted out of the mold so easily…great way to spend
mothers day! Amazing how easy it is to make something happen with a bit of
focus J

Yeah well the other market sort of died and I offered to take it over, that’s
me all over just right in and then think about it later!but its been shaping up
well and it is only once a month so I reckon I can cope with that. And I get to
sell my soap and see what else is out there of interest, even talking green
dollars…

I am running my first market this weekend! Wish me luck! I have ordered a fine
day and as I live on the west coast of the south island that really is a bit of
a joke but you can only but try! J
