SuzieE Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 It has been interesting reading what actual colors people are getting with the micas/oxides from the co-op. So I thought maybe we can post pics as we do them so we can see what color to possibly expect. I do suppose that ingredients will play a factor.Here is my Peppermint soap with Cellini Red Mica. Not the pepermint color I envisioned. LOL but, I will remember it for a soap I want an orange shade to.I can't wait to see what colors we come up with. I have so many to try out.

Scented Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 OK chica!! When I cut my cellini red we'll see if it has gone orange on me too. Last I saw was some red in it lol! Oh I do like this idea and I have a tremendous load of micas ... several that should be up for sale lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuzieE Posted December 7, 2006 Author Share Posted December 7, 2006 My red oxide soap, which turned pink on me:thecandlespastore My Red was sort of pinkish for the first week and then kind of decided on orange. LOL I didn't have any FO in the colored section,but, maybe the peppermint did have something to do my end result.This will be great to see everyones colors. Mud soap, LOL sorry Michi but it really does look like thin mud. How did the actual soap turn out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 Well preliminary on lavender harvest and I'm thinking it shouldn't be close to light brown. Used three colors in it ... of course the manganese violet was a great looking purple going in. The sparkling blue had promise (but I can't see it) and then there's the ultramarine violet. I'm thinking this puppy could be pretty in the trash :embarasse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuzieE Posted December 7, 2006 Author Share Posted December 7, 2006 What a trip Scented. It might just turn out totally cool when it sits a while.I still want to see your soap with the Cellini Red Mica. Is it still sort of red?Pics please.

Scented Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 Ah well let's see if I can get this to work. Had to reload a bunch of programs [ATTACH]9361[/ATTACH]This one is scented Be Delicious (Solas) and had the cellini red in it.[ATTACH]9362[/ATTACH]Here's the preliminary look at the lavender harvest (Solas) and I swear it's the colors that make it look barfy. It so really needs to be a better shade of color! Great scent ya know! (This is the combos of the purples and that gorgeous blue ... even had blue on the top and I know I'm old, but not blind!)

mcornwell Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 i used emeral green and it turned like a moss and the salamander pink has completely disappeared this am. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 So all those great looking colors are gone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michi Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 Suzie, luckily I only pulled out about 1/2 cup to mix the maganese violet, so I just made one bar with it to see if it would morph into something better-NOPE, looks like DRY MUD now!! LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 Man Michi I couldn't be that simple ... but then I was trying a bunch of things with this ... if ever I am going to miss color, it's going to be using these. I'm feeling a little like uh let's not bother. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scented Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 http://www.candletech.com/forums/showthread.php?p=362611#post362611That should link to the cellini red.The purples and sparkling blue just really sucked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuzieE Posted December 8, 2006 Author Share Posted December 8, 2006 Dry mud..Michi, OMG .. LOL It is easy to laugh now, but, I am so sure that it wasn't so funny while you were stirring it up. Good thing it was just in your reserved soap.Yep Scented, that is exactly the colors I had in the beginning and the end results. So I think I am going to start marking on the bags what the end color is so I don't forget before I use them again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 You know ... I may use all mine up or lose them lol. This is driving me nuts, but I'm on to the yellow oxide. Now could this turn purple for me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purple Lilac Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 You know ... I may use all mine up or lose them lol. This is driving me nuts, but I'm on to the yellow oxide. Now could this turn purple for me?I've had different shades of yellow but no purple from yellow oxide. Start out with just a little bit of the oxide then keep adding a little at a time til you get the color you like, if you use toooo much you get a mustard yellow. Have fun.

Scented Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 I definitely got the mustard yellow lol! Well had it, but when soap is added to it then it lightens up a lot. Will be interesting to see what comes out of the mold. I still saw some yellow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcornwell Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 my salamandar pink seems to be coming back, not as bright as at first but is back alittle more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michi Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 :whoohoo: I used the copper mica last night, and it's pretty, so far so good, although I mixed it a little too much and so some of the "swirls" are more a rust color now, not as shimmery as I would have liked but it's the same color as when I started-oh and I don't think this soap gelled at all, it got warm but not hot and never changed color at all.I'll post pics. in a minute.

Scented Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 Pantagonian purple went more reddish something. I did post a pix from it. The black oxide works great!! Black!!I did use some gold mica and think it works just fine too. Haven't exactly cut into the milk and honey log yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 Goodness, I've been looking, but haven't seen it ... anyone try out the cellini blue yet? Will be using the amethyst purple and the salamandar pink from the coop ... my fingers are crossed they hold color or there will be some uglies.
