Paprika infusion after stick blending a bit, this usually tends to modify the color some as the lye is integrated into the batch-excuse the tungsten lighting(ugh!)
Eureka! The color I've been after. I am over the moon to finally get this color-now if there is no bleeding my life will be complete-or close to it. lol! Orange Clove 2.0
I've been on a mission to get a "happy orange" and finally with some help from the very gracious soaping community, I think that I may have found exactly the color I've been looking for. If you've been following along my " quest for orange"it all started here, with a sampling of Annatto seeds that ultimately led me down that path of THE most beautiful yellow. (although since all of this, I have learned a new technique(again thanks to input from one of my soaping buddies) to try that will hopefully result in a perfectly lovely peachy orange-I just haven't tried it yet.)
The willingness to help each other out IS one of the BEST qualities of the soapmaking community. So refreshing, the willingness to share and offer up suggestions. I would like to give a shout out to my friend over at Minis Seifen for her suggestion to try Paprika-Wow! It's just beautifully orange.

PS: My Paprika Soap is not bleeding! ;-)
Yay! I am so happy to get this color. I had to fool around with it a bit as I wasn't sure how you got to this point-infusing in oil or adding to lye water. I think I figured it out. Thank you so much my friend for your help.
Not at all, your welcome!
I make an oil infusion, but your result shows, that you are right.
If you have a question, please ask me. I'm learning so much from soapmakers all over the world...
So i'm really happy if i can help!
@ Mini-that is what I ended up doing and oil infusion. It is just the prettiest color. Does it bleed at all? I have to wonder because the orange is so intense.
Oops! I see you answered my question. Thank you so much! I am so happy to finally have this color. Thank you so much!
You are welcome!!! :-D
