I really want to try this. I assumed that the CP shrinkage sould cause the two soap types to separate, but Teach Soap's blog has a tut for "Lava soap" (August 2011 entry).
I'm curious...do any of you do CP+MP...willing to share photos? I have tons of ideas, but I'm a little afraid to waste materials :?
 
Very pretty! I love this :)
Do you find it much more difficult to work with than straight CP or MP? I assume that one would take a pretty high water discount in order to prevent shrinkage of the CP, especially in cases with higher ratios of MP. Is my assumption correct? Are their potential pitfalls beyond shrinkage?
 
I only did a 10% water discount. The difficulty is getting the soap to medium trace and stay there, so you can pour the MP into it.
