A few days ago, I shared a video on Youtube chronicling my first attempt at making Melt & Pour Soap from scratch. You can view my video making the MP base at the end of this post. Also, you can view the original blog post and recipe from Cee here.
So, from my little project, I was able to make lots of cute embeds to use in my soap for this fall.

I've been using micas form Nurture Soap Supplies for most of my soaping. There are still some favorites that I like to stick to though. I love my 24K Gold from TKB and Crimson Red from Bramble Berry. For the most part, I am very happy to say that the colors are quite stable in CP soap.
However, I still prefer to mix my colors. Adding a bit of oxides I find really helps ground some of these micas, particularly yellows & oranges. Purple is my favorite color and I LOVE trying to fit a bit of it in there whenever I can so, once again color blending really helps achieve different hues of the same color. I have a not too stable purple neon from TKB that blended beautifully with my NSS mica. I'll be posting that soap in an upcoming post. Stay tuned!
