I was SO happily surprised the next morning. <br /><br />Of course it's inevitable that the colors will vary from "real life" to the digital pic, but I tried to get the truest color of the soap when I edited the picture.

The best redish (that's how it looks on my screen) is the best natural colour I've ever seen! <br />This is beyond words,it's really difficult to get this colour with anything! I've seen others using madder root, but neither of those soaps was that red.<br />Good job,Amy!

They are always impressive unless I don't add enough. Another fun one is alkanet, although you can also get impressive results from several spices also. Although I will admit I don't usually use such a high percentage of my oils.<br /><br />cabinofbows.blogspot.comcreative chaoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07651046100218238390noreply@blogger.com
