Layering Soap Part I

Another technique in soap making is layering soap, there are two types of layering techniques, you can create layers by using powder-like materials so you see a thin line/divider after you cut the soap. Another type of layering soap is by mixing other half of the soap solution with powder material to create different color and pour it on top of rest of the soap solution. I don't really have any powder material that gives pretty color so I use mung-bean powder since I already had it. Here's what it looks like after I cut it :) My friend also suggested me to be careful when sprinkle powder on the soap, if you sprinkle too much, the soap run into risk of breaking in half as it becomes dry. If you sprinkle it too less, you won't 'be able to see the line clearly.
