IKEA soap

Well, I must confess, I would for IKEA. I decided to make some soap for some of my coworkers that was yellow and blue. So, yesterday I decided to experiment with some new pigments that I had ordered. Never worked with anything like it before. It was a bit harder than I would have expected. The soap started of a bit yellow, so I added some titanium dioxide to it. It turned to a rather ugly color of yellowish-white. Not what I would have chosen. I then took some of the mixture and started to work with the pigments. They were really hard to incorporate and I hope that I mixed it enough not to leave dots. We will see. I will post some pictures later when I cut them tomorrow.
On another note, my friend Marion will be coming over tomorrow to soap for the first time. Should be fun. I will cut the IKEA soap when she is here so that she can see the whole process. We will be making salt bars and another soap. Till then...Matt
