And having so much fun! My step Dad is going into the city tomorrow and picking up some more supplies for me (he goes into Seattle every Saturday to meet my big brother for gas powered RC airplane flying and boating
and is within 2 blocks of the place I can get local stuff
) and I am going to be making TONS of soap
So, if anyone is interested for buying or trading
Let me know!
here are a few pictures... I can't beleive its been so long since I last made soap... though, really, I can, since I have been buying wahm soap for the last year instead of making my own, ROFL... 12 years of soapmaking under my belt... and I have been buying it.. where is the homer "d'oh!" smilie???
anyhow... I am pretty excited
I haven't made soap on a large scale since pretty much before Anna was born but I am going to do a LOT this holiday season
etsy, here I come... wish me luck
lol, forgot to add
the massage bar is clarysage and patchouli, the multilayers bar (my new favorite!) is done in layers of color and layers of scent
the top layer is done with clary sage and parsley for color (stays green, unlike most herbs used in soap...), the middle layer is lavender with alkanet powder for color, the bottom layer is colored a very pale blue only because I used german chamomile essential oil for cololr (and scent) and spearmint
The pale blue color will fade ...eventually.. maybe in 6 months or a year... but will always have a tinge of color... and one hopes you would use the soap in those 6 months or a year
LOL... but there are no other natural ways to get blue, I don't think
at least not without staining your body!
