Anyone know where I can find honeysuckle essential oil? I cant seem to find it anywhere.

I don't think it's possible to make essential oil from honeysuckles. It's my understanding that essential oil can be made only from herbs and a few citrus flowers.

Oh, and does anyone need some beeswax? I'll have some available for $5 a pound in a few weeks.

I have never seen Honeysuckle Essential Oil, but I have seen the fragrance oil. Try this site
www.fragranceoilfinder.com

Here are some pictures of my silicone molds my hubby made.

Beautiful, Morgaine! How do you like them?

Here is a site I found on-line for honeysuckle eo http://www.thepurplepeople.com/essence_oils/honey_suckle.html. I googled honeysuckle eo and there is a lot of info on-line.

That's not real honeysuckle essential oil. It's an essence oil, or fragrance oil, made from chemicals blended to smell like the real thing.

I

the mold! It was a dream to unmold. Popped right out like nothing. I don't think I can go back to anything else after this! Joseph is going to make me a double log mold next. It will be 12x5x4.

here is link that tells the difference between eo and fo's.

How did he do it, Morgaine? Did you buy the liners or did he make those, too? I know someone who works in that field and have thought about having one made. It'd be so much easier than the trash bag liners I use now.

 

[Morgaine]

Yes, he made the liner. He is a machinest and also pours urethane so this was alot of what he does at work. It was just a matter of having enough time to machine the mold that you pour the silicone into.

We bought the silicone from smooth-on.com We are now looking for some local suppliers that offer bigger quantity so it will cheaper.
