I love the red white and blue

What scent did you use?
And I would agree with soapbuddy that you should probably stay away from the supplies sold at craft/hobby stores because their quality is rather poor. I've only used Brambleberry products so far and absolutely love them

Very cute! Especially for your third try.

The brand most often sold at craft stores is Life of the Party. Those do bleed, unfortunately.

Soapbuddy I hope, for your sake, it's a non bleeding color.

SB, does this mean that colors can bleed even after the soaps have hardened?

For bleeding colorants it seems that they are mainly water-based colorants. In this way, the water/moisture in your soap will allow the color to migrate.
You can check out more on colorants by watching this video by SoapQueen: http://www.youtube.com/user/soapqueentv ... 3VbeNl1Nqg

She shows color bleed at around 2:50

Oh I LOVE them! If you didn't specifically purchase "non-bleeding" colors, then I'm afraid they will migrate. Here's what just happened to mine a few weeks ago. The first photo is my beautiful soap with Life of the Party brand liquid colors:

and here it is about 4 weeks later
