Next I cut out two images and set them aside. I melted some clear glycerin soap base, spraying with rubbing alcohol to remove the bubbles, and added just a dot of blue coloring. I then poured a thin layer in the molds and let them set for a few minutes. Laying the image face down into the mold, I pressed it in just to embed it. Next I melted the white soap base, cooled it to 130 degrees and added fragrance. I sprayed a little alcohol on the clear soap in the mold and then carefully poured the white soap on top of the clear. I sprayed it again with the alcohol and let it set for at least 6 hours.

Batty Soap
Water soluble paper is so fun! It is great to use in melt and pour soap making. First decide what size image you need for your mold. I didn't want to waste paper so I cut and pasted a lot of images on to my document and then printed it. Check out some of these cool graphics all of which came from The Graphics Fairy. After I printed it on the water soluble paper, I sprayed it with hair spray to help set the ink.
