Thank you all. I used green oxide for the colorant. I used a touch of TD for the white(made it more of a cream color, but it works). I have been working on my flower theme. My mother always had lily of the valley flowers in her flowerbeds along with her roses. She had such huge flower beds with so many different flowers. I did the zinnia type peppermint cupcakes about a month ago. Even the Rose Garden FO I bought from ED soaped great and the scent is true and strong. I want to do a lilac soap, and a hyacinth. And I am trying to figure out how to pipe pansies so I can make a soap with that decor as well. And last a hydrangia. So that is my spring soaping plans.
I am not sure what you mean by any handmade recipe. I use a basic recipe of OO, CO, PO, and Castor oil. I change out my butters between shea, cocoa, and mango. I either add coconut milk or condensed goats milk at trace. When I do a beer soap I split the milk amount and do half beer and half milk. And I always use cruelty free tussah silk in my lye/water solution.
