How to create white specks?

[Anstarx]

I've been wanting to make a dark blue soap with some white streak markbling and some white specks to mimick the night sky. I tried cutting up small bits of white soap but they are not as small and organico-looking as I want. I know you can have titanium dioxide clumping but I would like a more controllable result and won't have the soap bleed (even if it bleeds white). Is there any items I can use or make to have a white specks effect?

I think you could still use the white confetti, but add it at very light trace and stick blend it so it breaks up into specks.

I have seen people use undissolved salt to create a speckled soap but I haven’t been able to make that work. I was having trouble with stearic spots but when I tried to force them recently to make stars of course I didn’t get any! But those are two ideas I have been thinking about.

Try grating the white soap instead of cutting it. Spread it out to dry for a day or two. Then, you can use your hands to crumble it up even more.

Grated soap did work better for me, I recently was wondering the same, I added a picture of the results I got in this thread.

I know it wouldn't be throughout the soap, but I have seen people use a splatter technique on a cut bar with Titanium dioxide that looked very nice.
