I love indigo too! I wish it weren't so hard to find or expensive here so I'm not using much of the little I have haha

Thank you for the updates @szaza! Between these and the alcohol infusions, my notes are becoming very detailed but very helpful.

Hope I'm starring this too far off topic @szaza - but does anyone know how to get a nice bright yellow? Mica never seems to go bright enough. Yellow and green and the problem children of soap colouring.

Links to fresh soap pics from top clockwise:
1. Corner piece - HP
2. Big bar - CP with issues lol
3. Small slice - HP
I noticed they're more orange than yellow in the pics - they're not, they are a dark yellow. Although they've faded to a light orange, eh?
