This is something I've been meaning to try for a long time. Waaaay back in my soapmaking days, I used to do what a lot of soap makers do and use "comb-like" devices to make swirls on the tops of the poured soap batches (this can also be done with paint pouring and a "chain-pull" technique. I figured it might be fun to try something like that with a mica swirl tumbler, so here's the result! The comb gods laughed and laughed and laughed.
Send me a nice letter (I'll write back - promise!)!! I may even send you a small gift... maybe... you never know!

I love Swirls! Mostly swirls of color, but really any swirls at all - I think they add a beauty and grace to everything. So after I started making soap a few years ago, and needing some sort of biz name that didn't sound like everyone else's version of suds-r-us, I decided on Luxinda Swirl. Luxinda is a twist on my real name, and I quickly started putting swirls of color in all of my handmade soaps.
Now I'm branching out a bit, and I want to keep adding swirls to everything I do!
