Kia ora So what sort of colour are u using?i want to order some but I have so far only used natural things to colour, grated crayon and some soap colour(which I have been quite dissappointed in)that I got from aromatics and more. Did you use ultramarines or oxides?

Now I can relate to Liz's comments about the colour of her black soap. I'm a blue colour fan and just love the colour of the soap I've just made. I have uploaded the photos to Soapcraft on facebook, unfortunately the photos really don't do justice to the true colours. One is a real blue, blue and I loooove it so much (blue colour is from Gina) the other is more of an orange colour but the photo makes it look salmon. My only fear is that the colour will fade I hope that it doesn't. Thanks Liz for your suggestion to use the coffee frother thingy to mix colour and a little oil before adding to soap it really worked a treat this time (and Ross I think you might have suggested it too!). Can't wait for them to cure so I can use them.
