Clam Shell Technique
Dear all,
The soap challenge club for March 2020 is a very beautiful and difficult technique called: the clam shell.
It is a In the Pot Swirl technique with a very concise pouring technique. Our guest teacher was Tree Marie Worksoaps, which created for us wonderful videos.
I am going this time for the regular category. I love how the clam shells look like when being cutted horizontally. I made a small batch and here you have the pictures.

Here you can see an attempt, which turned out very well, but which does not show a lot of clam shells.
Great job, Eva!! I love seeing all your different color palettes and the fun patterns you achieved! The entry soap is fantastic - particularly that middle bar! It really is quite addictive to pour, isn't it? :)
