Re-Batch Cranberry Pomegranate Soap

A while back, I made my ugliest soap to date. It didn't start out exactly ugly, but the fragrance was black cherry and the fragrance didn't stick. At all. So I re-batched it, which I hate to do, and it got uglier but didn't really smell any better.
I also made a lavender-herb soap, which smelled okay, but it was pretty blah in color. A dirty oatmeal color which was not my intended result.
I recently read about the oven method of re-batch and decided to combine a few ideas - I put my shredded soap into two cooking bags. The black cherry in one and the beige lavender-herb in the other. I added 1/2 cup water to the dry black cherry soap and just a few drops to the new lavender soap. I placed them into casserole dishes and placed them in a 170 degree oven for a few hours until the soap was melted. When melted, I opened the bags, added my Cranberry Pomegranate Fragrance Oil and my mica which had been mixed with 1/4 cup oil. One mica was a rich burgundy color and the other was gold.
Score!!!! The soap looks and smells so much better.
Here it is. It still has to cure and I have to clean it up a little, but it sure beats it's predecessor.
