The project described only dyeing with goldenrod, I didn't find anything about its smell?

Coconut oil also makes soap disintegrate faster - be not deceived by the fact it makes a hard bar. Hardness is not the same as longevity, and coconut oil demonstrates it all too well.

You can offer them to wild birds. Sparrows on my balcony quite liked any crackles.

I made a smallish batch in preparation of the "Home" challenge. Used three colours and am hoping for the best.

I'm for tallow and lard. I mostly use lard in quantities below 50 % of total oils. The only time I used more lard was about two years ago when I used about 78 % lard, 15 % coconut oil and castor oil in a batch of about 350 g total oils. The batter took ages to trace and the soap felt oily. I...

I do live near mountains etc. and I also live in a block of flats with bat nests in the attic. It is somehow soothing to watch them fly silentlly in the dusk after a long and hot summer day.

I gave two bars to a friend - she was glad to receive them and I was glad to make room for my freshest soap. She even published them on her FB wall. And she was practically the first person to ask if they were not drying and not if they were moisturizing. By the way, she is a vetrerinarian...

I gave a bar of fine white tallow+lard soap featuring an indigo dyed marble on top to a serviceman that changed our water meters. He was quite surprised and named me a kind lady :)

Time to enter it in your dictionaries Haha

Did you mean Ladka's, not lack's? Ladka is my name.

Can't tell you the percentage but what I can tell from my experience is the following: - When I got minced suet from the butcher the yield was the best (can't get it any more at present). - Suet gave much better yield than ordinary fat from elsewhere of the animal body. - Minced fat gave much...

I love your Winter Moon! The Gold Frankincense and Myrrh intrests me. May I ask whether it was an FO or an EO?
