nothin' fancy, confetti soap

[heartsong]

i'm trying to figure out how to post pics, and since the subject came up about using scraps of left over soapies, I thought i'd share...this is black raspberry vanilla by www.soapsupplies.net, which is heavenly @ 1 oz ppo...leftover rose f/o gratings, which made a very nice smelling bar! these bars were just sliced last time I was home & drying on the rack...didn't have time to clean them up, yet.

btw, I suck at picture taking...thanks for looking!

Looks fantastic! I love how white they are, allows the confetti pieces to really pop out! Reminds me of gum that has the little flavor crystals in them.

I like it!

Thank you for your support of homeless pets. I enjoyed reading about Rudy, lucky dog!

thank you for the very kind words! yes, rudy is a blessing to me and a true friend! image shack is working fine, but photo bucket isn't cooperating (yet!) will continue to tinker with it-LOL!

here's a pic of my favorite soap rack, perfect for small spaces...hubby found this behind an out-of business hardware store, brought it home and cleaned & painted it...I lined the wire shelves with plastic craft canvas...that's true love for you when hubby goes dumpster-diving so I can make soap!

btw, you can see the plate of pink soap shreds that I made this soap with.

Love your confetti soap! My one attempt at it was bad. The colors bled from the confetti into the white part. It was a too-dark alkanet confetti.

Nice soap! now I have another soap to add to my ever growing list of 'have to make'

I have found through experience that the best "non-bleeding" colorants are the neon pigments and high-ph micas.

Don't mean to hi-jack your thread but wow that rack is perfect! Did he find any other shelves with it so you can add to it? Also ,where do you get your high-ph micas from? I love the colors of all your soap in your picture but after my mica morph fiasco I've been too paranoid to try any other mica unless it comes recommended/tested.

where do you get your high-ph micas from?

I love the liquid neon pigments from tkb trading, and the sampler pack is a good value...I prefer the premixed as the powder needs to really be mixed well: http://www.tkbtrading.com/search.php?keywords=neon&page=2

the best micas were called "pop" micas, and since they were incredibly wonderful to use, naturally they discontinued them...I used to buy rainbow micas, which is a good substitute for the "pops" from bitter creek north, but now they no longer carry them...here's a link to a member/supplier here in the forum...not sure how much they used, but I usually use 1/2 tsp ppo and get a nice clear pastel. http://www.soapmakingforum.com/f35/i-have-pop-mica-duplicates-sale-34532/

That is beautiful soap Monet. That soap rack is drool worthy..

Thanks Heartsong! I'll give Cosmos micas a try. I have the tbk neon sampler pack and glad I bought it. I bought the sampler pack of micas from tbk and a few have morphed on me.

if there are any other soapers here that have had good luck with other high-ph colorants, please feel free to post them here...this thread is about over anyway, plus i'd appreciate the info, too! perhaps you could include if they bleed or don't?
