I made some cloud embeds for a sky soap I'm hopefully making today. Just need my Brambleberry delivery to arrive! I guess I can paw through my micas again while I wait.

Here's the test soap from brambleberry's site. I'm guessing that's what's happening in your soap.

Sick

Evaporated goats milk is 2x stronger than regular. I've used it a couple times by adding the canned portion to my oils and using the water that I would have used to reconstitute it in my lye and didn't get that sort of discoloration. I'd check your temps, and do what you can to keep things cool...

I find Katie and Kenny's videos from Royalty Soaps engaging. I like her spunk/character. Though it may be a bit much for some.

I donated some of my soap to a silent auction to benefit a friend of a friend. That feels nice, and I hope it helps. In order to do that I got to play around with shrink wrap bands for the first time. Bit of a learning curve there...

I cut my 2nd try for Amy Warden's Food & Drink challenge, and was a tad disappointed. I think the puree I used had a slight discoloring affect. The first try (that I forgot the food item in), turned out pretty well, though with a little less definition between the red and the pink in the red...

Grandma

That sounds so pretty! That is so odd/amazing. I only ever saw them as tiny annuals. Well, you learn a new thing every day. I felt that way about my grandma's peony bushes, except with ants. They were so pretty, and smelled so good, but the ants thought so too! Unnerving to say the least...

@Zany_in_CO & @dibbles They are both Columbine, just different varieties. The periwinkle is Winky and the red is Origami. Fushia are great too, but have a different growth habit. Not as tall and upright, they're more drapey. I usually see fushia as hanging baskets. I'd love to try them...
