The other day, I asked about mixing colorants and someone wisely suggested that I start a soap coloring thread. So here it is!
I'd love to know what type colorants people use and prefer and how they mix them. I've seen people mixing oxides, pigments, powders and micas using oils, glycerine or water or even what looked like milk to mix their colors. What do you use if anything for the various coloring oxides pigments, powders, etc. the various?
Also this thread is for sharing photos of your work, and sharing the colorants you used in the soap.
This newbie could use a lot of help in this area.![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
For instance, I watched a Your Tube video yesterday where the person said they weren't going to cover the soap, because they wanted to avoid glycerine rivers, which I assume occurs when you add too much glycerine. But, what is too much? Inquiring minds need to know!
Thanks for participating!
