Candybee Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 (edited) I want to make a soap with gold veins running through it. Does anyone know of a good gold mica that will look enough like gold to make it work? Also, do I swirl the gold batter in or is there another technique for getting a "marbled" or "veined" look running through the soap?

TallTayl Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 I mix the AHRE gold sparkle or 24 karat gold mica (or tkb, brambleberry, wsp, etc equivalent. ) into castor oil. Then drizzle the oil/mica onto the top of the soap in the pitcher while pouring. Pour slowly to not over mix. Perfect marble vein lines every time. Works with all micas I’ve tried. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted January 18, 2019 Author Share Posted January 18, 2019 Is there a way to get gold veins running through the soap and not just the top? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallTayl Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 When you pour it over the top of your batter in the pour pot, as you’re pouring it naturally flows inside like any other Swirl. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted January 18, 2019 Author Share Posted January 18, 2019 Thanks... I just ordered the 24K gold mica from TKB. I already have some gold glitter I can add to it. Now going over to Nurture to see what they have... When I get a chance to work with the micas I will post some pics of the results. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
