[soapcraft] Re: Summer Garden Party

Hi Jenny

Isn¹t cochineal food colouring?  I don¹t think you¹re supposed to use food
colouring in CP soap but I¹m not sure.  Liz has got a nice coloured pink
soap on her website I think she used Aussie red clay.

I would use a pinch of the purple colour and mix it in a little amount of
olive oil (I use an electric coffee frother thingy to blend well).  Then I
mix oil into batch of soap after trace.


Cheers
Louise
