Do you think you could use one of the large needle meat injector syringes to inject color "tubes" from top to bottom? It would be very time intensive but might give the same effect.

What would happen if you "Pollack'd" it? Lots colors in squirt bottles/piping bags, squirt bottom of mold, layer a solid color, Pollack it again, layer again...etc.

I'm having trouble imaging the cut...

I thought about that too Lenaree. I think you'd have to let each layer set before pouring the next or the pressure from the next layer of soap would flatten and smudge the effects of the dots and how they lay in such a natural pattern. If you used some mica in oil, you'd have small divots which might give an interesting rimmed effect as they would be revealed but the problem with mica and oil is that it disappears as soon as water is run over it. I would use heavily mica'd batter instead.

You are right newby! I tried to imitate a galaxy soap before I found a video on how it was done. It didn't work. Embeds if you can make them with a straw would possibly work. I think your heavy mica mix is a good idea or a squirt bottle using dots and waiting for them to dry for a more random effect than embeds.

Extra pic for today, by the same soaper. The other one is more my style but this is also beautiful.

Excellent idea on using straws for embed molds! I've got a whole bag of those fat Starbucks straws that are begging to be used. I wouldn't even bother trying to push the soap out of the straw . . . I would just use an exact-o knife to cut the straw and peel it off. Now I know what I'll be doing Saturday

Welcome to Wednesday.

Wow!! is all I can say. Yes, it is soap.

I'd really like a little round mold like this with curved edges both sides (not flat a one side. Shape alone lovely, then there is the soap!!!

There is something about the picture of the hot process shampoo bar that I find attractive but I don't know what it is it!

 

[newbie]

Excellent color choices.

That soap reminds me of you, newbie. It's totally you.
