Pam W Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 bought a sample packet of pigment colorants from Bramble Berry & don't have a clue how to use them. I can see that they are going to be a PITA to dissolve. Can anyone share some tips with me on how to get them to blend?..and I said once that I had no interest in making B&B...must have been in denial when I made that statement:lipsrseal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaybee23 Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 I mix mine in just a little bit of oil then mix it in with the soap I want to color. I have no idea of this is right or wrong, but that is what works for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crafty1_AJ Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 I smoosh powders with the back of a spoon into a dab of glycerin. Then I add a bit of soap batter to that and sb or whisk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sara Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 Some pigments are dispersable in water and some oil. But generally a warm oil or water is the best way to go. You don't have to use much, either. I usually take a dixie cup, fill it with a bit of liquid and then add my powder; mix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pam W Posted April 25, 2006 Author Share Posted April 25, 2006 Thanks for the input.I really want to make some of those gorgeous swirled soap I keep drooling over in the gallery. Got some base, got the dyes but need a mold. Gotta go shopping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
