Next, I have a big ziplock bag full of soap shavings from nearly every soap I've done so far. I've been wanting to do a confetti blend using the shavings. So...I used alkanet root powder and cobalt mica, blended separately. I first added the alkanet root and the batter looked grey (this happens sometimes, but I usually panic and start throwing in other colors when it does!) So of course I panicked and threw all the mica blend in as well! Then I stirred in my soap shavings and placed into the mold. I used a soft China Rain scent. I'm hoping the soap shavings will retain their original colors for lots of contrast, but the soap is denim blue because I panicked. I topped it with more shavings and little curls - it's really cute right now and I have high hopes. I can't wait to cut it!
