It certainly comes around quick..again at Bude (every fortnight until September)I have been experimenting with a few soaps, this time I used a delicious tea which I bought at the Bude fair the last time..it's a gorgeous tea ,strawberry and kiwi but the lye didn't think so as it ate it up grr but as you soapers know nothing escapes lye, anyway I watched this fab deep red tea turn black,brown,orange and eventually settled at a coffee colour so that's the colour of my batch I even added a touch of clay but made no difference to the colour whatsoever..I will post some pics later on and you can see what I mean...
I am also seriously thinking of making some butters/lip balms to add to my soap collection so will post pics again later on this week I'm glad I have all these things to think about it helps me take my mind off things x
Good luck with the fair, Edith, and I'm glad you've got something to occupy your mind. I hope you are feeling a little better in yourself. I've set aside 2 wee sample pots of lip scrubs for you. I experimented yesterday and will post them later in the week.
ReplyDeleteTake care, Polly
I am sorry about your dog, Edith. I have two Bischon frise (mother and daughter) that I love to bits.
ReplyDeleteIsn't lye interesting to work with though! You just never know what it will do. I'm starting to experiment with colours more and am always interested to hear how others do in their experiments. Thanks for sharing.
