Drop Hanger Swirl Soap Making | Eucalyptus Mint

I created this eucalyptus mint soap using a drop swirl followed by a few passes with a hanger swirl tool. I took the final photos about 4 days after cutting the soap. You'll probably notice the color change that occurred. This usually happens for me when using indigo in a wispy swirl where I have areas of very light blue. The darker blue areas seem to stay the same and don't fade.
Thank you so much for watching!

DISCLAIMER: I make these videos to share my own personal methods for how I make cold process soap. These videos are not intended as tutorials for beginners, but they are intended for those who already have an understanding of cold process soap making. Cold process soapmaking involves working with sodium hydroxide. Lye & raw soap can damage eyes & burn skin. When making soap, you should know and practice lye safe handling procedures. While I hope you find watching my videos helpful, many variables go into making soap & even the smallest change can affect results; therefore, I'm not liable or responsible for your results if you try any of the methods that I use.
