Petras Seifen Kunst Swirl Soap, Hanger Swirl Soap, Butterfly Swirl Soap

I have been studying for quite some time Petras Seifen Kunst hanger swirl. It's similar to the butterfly swirl, but unlike the butterfly swirl which benefits from a ts mold, her technique looks phenomenonal in a standard mold.
Petra has several YouTube videos showcasing her excellent work.

My first attempt turned out well enough. I used a discoloring fragrance oil, Almond Creme, by Aroma Haven Rustic Escentuals, and it did eventually hide the beauty of the swirls because of the discoloration. I didn't mind, for it was a practice of technique.



I made several more attempts, some failed and some turned out alright.


These aren't the best, but still turned out well enough.

I, along with other ladies, host a soap challenge on smf. For January, it was a black and white challenge. No colors allowed other than black and white. I chose to use Petra's hanger technique for the challenge. I was beyond pleased with the results.




I will be hosting our challenge in April utilizing Petra's hanger swirl, and I will share helpful hints I've learned from my successes and my fails.

I have to send a big thanks to Petra Feddeck for sharing her hanger swirl technique in video and on her blog! 

*I also want to apologize, if others have been making this technique long before her, she's the first I found making it and who also posted videos of it.
