TerriWV Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 Since everyone is posting pics about their mica's changing colors in their soap, I thought this might be a good thread for everyone to post what colors they are getting. It might come in handy for future reference.Here is what I have so far. I still have more to try yet. Just copy and paste your results.Amethyst Mica = Grey in CPCellini Red = Orange in CPManganese Violet = Deep Brown in CPUltramarine Violet = True color in CPUltramarine Blue = True color in CP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scented Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 OK I shouldn't have done this ... and since I can't edit lol ... I did try adding some lavender/violet oxide to the amethyst with a touch of UM blue and after peeking at my thought to be most ugly soap, I'm seeing purple in there. Course this is preliminary, but had to make a note before I forgot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted December 25, 2006 Share Posted December 25, 2006 OK the soap has been pulled and we're not seeing any gray in it. We're seeing purple, so maybe the changes worked and overpowered the amethyst or this batch didn't stay gray. Some of it did look it, but I'm not seeing it. Though I'm not seeing any of the salamander pink in it at all. I think that disappeared. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 OK more opinions from the great wasted mica coop lol: Salamander pink (worthless ... disappears. It might somewhat come back, but what's the point?)24 Karat gold or whatever it is (loses its lustre.)Cellini blue ... appears to keep its blue, but fades out and comes back only if there's an abundance in one spot. Also tends to spot (I don't wanna hear it.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shutterbugg Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 julie if you learned to do other things with that mica it wouldnt be such a great waste! Ive used this in my lotions, scrubs and butters with wonderful results.. time to branch out woman! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 Why is it you think that, Leslie LMAO!! And when you coming to show me I'll keep them for other things, but let's decide on what those other things are going to be and what, pray tell, I must buy to make the other things. I may still be in a buying mood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruina Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 I thought bumping this up might help us newbies who're participating in the TKB co-op. Maybe we can have more experienced soapers chime in here with more results? We can use all the help we can get TIA! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scented Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 The thread for these micas though were not from TKB trading ladies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruina Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 Oh, there's a difference? I thought micas were micas.Sorry, I was just looking for these answers myself & thought this might help someone else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 There are some that aren't soap safe. At the time for these, they weren't mentioned as being soap safe and no one really knew so some put them in soap just to see what they would do. TKB separates its colors out into categories and will give you an idea if they're safe or stable for soap. I was thinking the micas talked about here are from Coastal Scents, which has a large makeup and toiletry business. The colors are good in other things, but not so cool in soap.

Ruina Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 Thank you Scented. That's good to know. I was so disappointed that the Amethyst Mica I ordered was gonna turn gray.Angel91805, put that 24 gold back on your list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking of using them once I get settled into our new house and give my go at CP once again..hopefully this time I don't turn the lye mixture into a volcano necessitating an entire evacuation from my house and the neighbors Angi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
