Man my father is weird. Finally got him on his mobile (a feat in itself) and
asked if anything was OK. Answer was yes he was just on his way home and RIGHT
at the end of this conversation he tells me he had to take my mother to hospital
Apparently not a big deal (as far as I could get out of him). They are just
running some tests

I have just cut The Library of Babel and I am a bit disappointed. The
colour is a lot paler than I wanted and one particular element of the fragrance
blend appears to be dominating. Early days yet. This is one time I do want
the soap to darken up! Will try pics tomorrow assuming no dramas - my parents
seem to be MIA and trying to find them. I am a little worried

I use oxides - black, tan, yellow, red, brown and chromium green oxide
The Library of Babel pics - sure. Not sure how the swirl is going to turn
out

Pleased it worked for you.
Do any of you use oxides for colouring? Or are the FD&C's, micas and
ultramarines the generally used colours?
Can we see pics of the The Library of Babel when you unmould and cut? I
want to see if my vision has been realised!

Hi all
Liz kindly sent me a little bit of potassium lactate to play with. I
tried some in a batch last night and have just cut it. I love the texture and
the hardness of the soap.
Gina, would you consider stocking this as I can't find it anywhere at the
moment?
The fragrance I soaped was Island Market I used an FD&C orange with a
blue swirl using the sky blue colour from Gina. Unfortunately the orange
clumped and spotted really badly but the sky blue came out a glorious baby blue
(i used a low concentration of colour). I am so happy to have a good blue that
doesn't turn purple. I was a little worried to start with as it initially
turned a puce green. I will try and get a pic up in Facebook in the weekend.
I am not so sure about the scent after soaping it. But will have to wait
to see what it is like when finally cured.
The raspberry red colour has quite a purple red tone to it so I will
still need to stock up on the FD&C 40 for vibrant true red. I used the
Amberwood colour swirled through natural in my soaping of The Library of Babel.
The soap is still a little soft so I will leave in the mould a bit longer
before cutting.
Ross
