    The Geisha's Kimono 5 color swirl

    Zaja, those are really beautiful. Would you ever consider doing a tutorial for how to do something like that? I don't want you to give away any trade secrets, or anything, but I can't even do a 1-color swirl yet, let alone a 5-color swirl, 2 layer soap.... :shock:

    Need help with a Hemp recipe

    I did the same thing. It's easier for me that way when first putting a recipe together. I think this *synergy* that is talked about, is probably a recipe that has a little bit of ALL the FA's, and not overly high in any particular one.... but what do I know? :lol: That's just my guess for...

    Thanks, Greg. I appreciate your taking time to help a fellow soaper. It's a shame more people didn't jump in here for discussion.... just for learning's sake for newbies who are still trying to learn and understand things. Oh well. I will give this a try tomorrow. I won't be using...

    Thanks Greg!! You're so generous!! I almost took you up on this, but thought I'd ask DH if I could use his work email addy to do it, & if he said "NO", then I'd ask your help... He said, "Sure!" :) So, I'll sign up using his email. But -- really -- thank you. You're a very...

    Need help with a Hemp recipe

    Thanks for your reply, Greg. I'm trying to reach as many soapers as possible, so figured that was the best way :lol: I certainly don't know what I'm doing, & still need hand holding, unfortunately. Maybe I shouldn't mess with hemp at all until I know more about the soapmaking process...

    Is 3 oz ppo of FO going too far?

    Greg ~ Where are you learning how to do the EO blending? I'd like to try, but I don't have a clue where to begin, or what goes with what.... I've seen lots of sites, that recommend, "this goes well with this & that..." , etc, but I really need a "recipe" to go by.... ....maybe after I do...

    rose hip

    I think I remember reading somewhere that only the rosehips from "certain" roses are considered for the medicinal values. Also, I've read that rosehip powder added to soap causes a "scratchy" feeling to the soap, so I guess it would be a good ingredient to use as an exfoliant?

    Herb Books

    I've heard others sing the praises of the Encyclopedia of Herbs. Personally, I'll be checking all of these out. I would like to learn more about herbs also. Thanks to everyone for the titles you've suggested! :)

    Rosemary~Mint

    Hey Paul, those are perty! Will the herbs in the soap act like an exfoliant? Did you use a mint EO for scent? Which one do you like? I've been thinking about doing a minty EO soap, because DH & I have allergies & sinus problems.... Nice hot baths with minty bath products always help...

    Silicone Tray

    hhhmmmm.... not sure about what this is.... but, I have heard of people using the silicone baking dishes that are out there for making bread, cupcakes, etc.... They work well, but the red ones apparently affect the final color (or some type of issue with the red ones, anyway)... HTH! :)
