Ok, I tried to up load my OMH from BB and the rosemary mint, but photobucket froze on me (I'm still on dial up). I can never work the one here, but I'll give it a shot.

Ok here is the oatmeal, milk and honey from BB. It has a big heaping table spoon of honey in it, that's why it's so dark. Usually I only get a nice creamy tan color. Also has oatmeal and goat's milk.

Rosemary and mint. Used liquid chlorophyll and tea leaves.

Beautiful Morgaine!!! I

them both! The mint really does look minty. How much of the chlorophyll did you use to get that color?

Thanks

My notes say 1 1/2 cap fulls. I've just always used the cap to measure si I'm not sure what that converts to. The easiest way I have found is to add the chlorophyll to your fragrance and mix reall well just before you pour it into the soap. Or you can add to your oils before you add your lye if you are not doing a swirl.

1 1/2 capfuls to how many pounds of oils? I'd like to try the chlorophyll and have found it locally. Like you, I'm trying to stick to 'natural' colors.
