I was browsing through all those lovely saponifier ones too. There are some lovely designs. I think I am going to subscribe. Shame I missed their yearly competition issue.

From the previous page, how does the soaper get that gold vein to be so glittery-gold? Gold mica in my soap turns it opaque yellow.

It doesn't look very shiny to me grumpy, it looks like a pale yellow? I even zoomed in for a better look. As far as I know, you can't get mica in the soap to look shiny as the light doesn't reflect off it the same way as when it is on the surface.
 
I'm had a few micas that had a shimmer in soap. It's always the sparkle type micas so I'm assuming they are a larger size partical
 
I've been meaning to do a mens soap for my BF but couldn't figure out a design that would satisfy my need to be creative without turning it into some swirly stuff. This is like perfect. It's so simple and elegant. Now I just need to figure out a color scheme to go with this.
