I am not sure about all plants (some humans might be allergic to certain things) but the article I read so many years ago talked about Native Americans using wolf lichen in a ritual to cleanse. As I understood it they did not ingest it but did use it on their body. It was something that...

You can use lichen to dye wool fiber. Not sure about soap tho'. If I recall the lichen can produce anywhere from a yellow-chartreuse to a deep orange, as well as beautiful shades of pinks-purples (depending on what lichen and/or mordant you use). I never had enough lichen to use it in a dye...

Fantastic! A tuxido bar. So clever.

I love it! Is that lichen I see in there? I once made a tallow bar, infused with desert balsam resin and used small bits of lichen in it. It was well-received.

Me too!

Gorgeous! What's the scent?

Wow! Thanks for coming back. The world needs soap ****. Sometimes it's the only thing that keeps me sane and makes me happy.

Really sorry to hear about your migraine headaches. One migraine per lifetime is one too many.

Welcome to the forum. You will have a wonderful time and learn a lot at Mile High especially if your teacher is Laurie Teason. If you see Laurie or Brent tell them TAS said hi.

I about get a heart attack when my batch seizes! Panic sets in before I get to work and throw it into the mold.

Yeah, me too. I told myself wrap them bars before you make more. Takes a long time but there is great satisfaction when it's done. Plus my reward is making more soap! :D

I love you colors. They remind me of coral and turquoise jewelry.

I read that our farmers could not get their corn planted because the ground was mud. Kinda terrifying.

Yum!

Glad it worked out. I think your soap is pretty. Scent?

Soap making? I wish. I have to go clean up the hail damage done to my garden. I could not face it yesterday but gotta do it. Make something wonderful and think of me pruning back broken branches and cutting down suffering flowers. :sadgoodbye:

I'm so rusty at this forum stuff. Need all the guidance possible. Will do so tomorrow. PS did you get hail? My garden is toast. :(

I like them all very much. They remind me of "weather indicators." :thumbs:

Just to be very clear - my cat is not allowed to go into the basement, whether I am making soap or not. Too hazardous for her. Too nerve-racking for me. And, yes, some people are allergic to cat dander.
