I Have Ombre Layer Bug in Me!

There are many ways to do ombre layering (or gradient) style in cold process soap, but I like the way I do it!  Again, if you are curious about how I do it with one bucket, 6 layers plus thin pencil line, you can watch my youtube video: Making Ombre Layer Soap

Now that I have done it with bleeding colors and non bleeding colors to get different effects on the layering look, I don't want to do the same old same old again.  Let's see the summary:
 Bleeding vs.Non-bleeding
Two Color Bleeding Layering
and last but not least, Two Color Bleeding Mirror Direction Layering
 In my previous post I put a twist to this style by bleeding 2 colors from dark to light then light back to dark in 8 layers, topped with melt & pour soap embeds and blueberry seed for texture.  That is one complicated batch to make and requires much planning ahead.  AND, I used one bucket only!  Like I said, I have this ombre bug in me and I need to flush it out of my system, LOL  What else can I do to have a new spin to the old style?!  I went from making 6 layers to 8 layers and now I present you the 11 layer hot mama zebra!  This one has 3 color gradient look, can you tell?!  This is Vesta (Goddess of sacred fire)!

Sorry this time I broke my one bucket rule, LOL, I used 2!

    1. Christine, Thanks for the compliment! The small white balls are sugar balls used for cake and dessert decoration. They are made of sugar and edible. You can buy them in stores that sells bakery supplies.

    1. Amy, it took too long... I tried to hurry up because this FO tends to accelerates trace, and it did. But to mix and pout 11 layers alternating 2 colors at a time is just time consuming. THAT finally got my last bit of bug out, LOL. I'm officially pooped...
