Handmade soap is endlessly interesting, isn't it? Just when you start to think you know something of what you're doing a batch throws you a curve!
This batch of handmade soap came out a TOTALLY different color than I expected. I have worked with this colorant on many occasions....but not with this particular technique: Infusion.
It left this "bubblehead" scratching her head for sure....I'm guessing it may morph into the color I had expected, but I'll have to wait and see about that.
In the meantime:
Anyone want to take a stab at what I used to get this color?
Oh, and I just happen to need to do this "flop" color for some 250 wedding favor soaps later this month....hmmmm. Romans 8:28 comes to mind. Don't you just love that? ;)
Soap on!
Up 'til now I've colored my soaps with only clays and alkanet root. I'm wanting to try oxides and/or micas, but I don't really know where to start.
Is there a clear advantage of one or the other in CP soap?
I'm wanting to try a blue for sure (I was looking at Brambleberry's 1982, but it's out of stock at the moment), pink, green and maybe even purple are of interest to me as well. Does anyone have any specific suggestions? I've noticed that some say that they don't work well in CP, which is what I'll be using them in.
Suggestions of what you've used with good results in CP soap would be GREATLY appreciated!
Happy Soaping Everyone! :)
