First I would like to thank you fine folks for all your wonderful advice to the many who have asked. I've only been soaping for a few months and I'm already hooked. I don't post often because every question I have had, I have been able to find someone else had already asked my question and you all had answered in such detail that I didn't need to ask again...
So since I have learned so much from you folks, I thought I would share what I did today, just to feel a little less like such a lurker. :-D
As a new soaper, you know you gather colors and scents at every opportunity...yeah, I have acquired enough already to start to get confused as to what oils discolor and the actual color of the colorants.
Well, today I started a collection of "test samples" of each colorant and EO/FO I have. This picture is just a few of those I've gathered already.
I just made a plain, uncolored, unscented base soap, and spooned it into small dixie type cups one at a time. Each cup got a color or a scent and the name is written on the cup with a sharpie.
I will be able to watch them as they cure and see in person how each one changes over time. I figure I can easily make test cups for new colors/scents as I collect them. I hope to have quite a reference library build soon!!
Anyone done anything similar??
