IrishLass said:You can actually make your own soap paints with body-safe micas and vegetable glycerin. I make some up fresh to use on certain of my soaps that I have stamped with my Milkyway soap stamps. I stamp my soap with the Milkyway stamp, and then to colorize the design on my soap, I paint it with either bronze or gold mica mixed with the glycerin and let dry. Works great and looks classy!

IrishLass - I'd love to see a picture of one of your soaps that you've painted. Sounds like a great idea!
1. When you say "salt bar flakes", what shape are your pieces? I mean, I think of a flake as being a feathery lite, flat piece of something (like ashes, for example). Do you just take your hardened salt bars and bash them with a hard object?
2. The rest of your stamps are so pretty and sparkly, too (not just the painted ones). How do you do that? I'm a newbie, so forgive the silly question. Did you use metallic soap paint for most of your stamps? Do you just dip it in some paint for that, or do you dip it in something else (I feel like you may have mentioned, but I can't find it on your site now).
3. Your tops often have a very cool sparkle to them. What is that? For example, the Vaniglia? What are all those chunks/sparkles? Incidentally, I think the Vaniglia is the most beautiful soap I've ever seen. I really mean that. It's incredible!
4. A number of your soaps are CO with a high superfat. What benefit do you find in making a 100% CO soap? I mean, I would only think to do that for a salt bar. Are there other benefits?
