Mine is one and done. I filled a small 6-cavity mold with the excess batter as I didn't bother to recalculate for the confetti!
 
Note to my former/future self (as well as everyone else experimenting with transparent/glycerin/M&P soap): Don't panic when the base doesn't come out as transparent as hoped straight out of saponification. Give it a day or two, re-melt, and things might become alright by themselves:

Soap scraps from a failed lollipop swirl challenge, cut into triangles. I’ve been holding on to these, waiting to figure out what to do with them. Bottom layer has some grated soap “confetti.” And then a few strands of “confetti” near the top.

I don’t know what to make of it, honestly. It was one of those “Let’s do this and see what comes of it.” I really like the triangles and using them gave me an idea for a fun soap design.

17. Mobjack Bay - I’ve gathered up the bits and pieces. Now all I need is an idea…
 
Mine is a bit of a confetti explosion but also looks a bit like a galaxy. The 'planets' are soap balls scattered randomly throughout the soap with a few on top. Maybe I'll call it Bubble Gum Galaxy or Pink Super Nova.

I love it!

@phoenix - love yours too. Will remember this for sailboat themed soap in future!
