Kids will like the blue streaks and bubbles! lol

The soap in question was a geometric loaf.... So there are LOTS of slices of soap with this problem. Thankfully there is only one small part of the soap that is blue.

Ok, I'm going to see if I can figure out how to post the pictures from my blackberry.

Dang! It says that the file size is too big. Ill see if I can do it via an image hosting site.

Okay, i've created a photobucket account and uploaded my pics. I'm going to go post my soaps in the flaunt thread... even though I think my soaps pale in comparison to everyone else's. O_o

Thanks. Some of the pigments didn't fully dissolve, but now I know why (I was using way too much). I recently bought some liquid glycerine, so I will dissolve my pigments in a bit of that before mixing it in the soap.

You sound like you are having so much fun!

Try just rubbing alcohol - some oxides can be difficult to mix with glycerin.
And then when you have your rubbing alcohol and color mixed together in a slurry just pour off the top and leave the lumps behind. Then you should have a nice and even color.

Thanks for the tip! I was having a hard time with the glycerine and the Ultramarine blue!

I too wished Bramble Berry had a Canadian Location. I order from them too. And their customer service and fast shipping puts our Canadian Suppliers to shame. Not to mention they have more interesting supplies/molds etc for MPers.
