Yeah, I top my logs with botanicals since I can't swirl and am color challenged.

Thinking about it.

I have to say Earlene you are a whirlwind. Where do you buy your batteries? You are like the little bunny going and going. :nodding: I made a log yesterday and this morning I cut and stamped it. No name - I hate naming because I never have an actual plan. Oils used in alphabetical order...

I confess I have a lot of Virgo in my natal chart. Makes me picky, compulsive and a pain to live with (and I mean living with myself). I do wear gloves.

My lavender fades. I like the scent of lavender, and initially my bar smells nice but fades out.

Good job! I would be very happy with that shade. Coloring soap is a challenge for me. Once in awhile I get lucky.

I do CP. My red sandalwood is a fine red powder. My primary concern is to infuse sandalwood in oil for the skin benefits and not necessarily for color. If it imparted a color that would be an added benefit. I found your narrative so informative and enchanting - you're not only a smart researcher...

Dawni, Wow! What an excellent report. Going to re-read it and post some thoughts here. Thanks. :thumbs:

I've been infusing oils this week. No actual soap making, just gearing up.
