I often look at project on various plateform. Be it the internet, magazines, classes various crafting kits, etc... I don't always really do as the project is illustrated. I like better to use projects I see as a jumping point for other projects. Sometimes it is unrelated.
In the soap class I had taken, I remember having putting some different colored soap cubes in one of my soap. It had a nice effect. I done it with halloween molds (pumpkins and skull) to make soap pieces in those forms. After that, I took those pieces and put it in a bigger differently colored soap. It had a nice result. Since then, I have used those soaps. I now regret not having taken some photos then. I may try it again in the near future.
I have found a project where I like the combination. I had done something similar with the little skulls soaps. I had done them with shea butter soap and I had put them in colored transparent soap. The project is here: http://candleandsoap.about.com/od/soaprecipes/ss/xmaschunksoap.htm?nl=1
It is done with soap bases. It is chunks of colored soap in a white "enrobing". Seeing the result, at the end of the tutorial is quite good looking.
It also makes me think of a unrelated technique that give a similar result but in jewelry: the rhinestones with epoxy clays. When I started, there was only white and black epoxy clays. Now, the palette is more varied. I am not really into the bling thing. But I am tempted to try with the new colors available. I have found some here: http://www.amazon.ca/Crystal-Clay-2-Part-Epoxy-Green/dp/B009LSRCPI/ref=sr_1_4?s=kitchen&ie=UTF8&qid=1418844012&sr=1-4&keywords=epoxy+clay
I will take one of them if I fail to find them at my craft store.
