Hi Gina The colour in the camera is coming up blue, so I want to take it outside (when it’s dry, the weather that is) and see if the light is better out there, so it shows the actual purple colour, when I do, I’ll send it through. Questions: (more) Hubby has been using the first batch of soap I made and said it’s not very lathery, what is in the soap that makes is lathery, and how can I make it more lathery. He said the M&P is lathery and that’s what I’ve been using and it’s good, but I haven’t tried the CP soap yet.

I could pretend J I don’t mind it at all but I was just wondering why it happened, next time I’ll mix with some soap. How can I put a picture on, without belonging to facebook? Anyone, can I?

I quite like some of the colour spotting ........some of which has occurred in my own soap making and some of which I've seen in soaps made by other people. Guess it's a personal preference really... _____ From: soapcraft-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:soapcraft-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Jan Abernethy Sent: Monday, 19 July 2010 4:21 p.m. To: soapcraft@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [soapcraft] Re: Colour Can I do anything about it now or do I just have to leave it? It is a really deep purple, I've just taken them out of the molds, the colour is nice, as purple is my favourite colour, I love it, but it has spots. How long do you or others leave their soap in the molds, some of mine have stuck even after they've been in the freezer for 10 mins or so. The mold is detailed and takes some of the pattern of the soap sometimes.

I hate colour spotting I like to use the lakes from Aromatics and More, especially for the reds and pinks.
