[Nfb-krafters-korner] soap making

[tribble]

I also have a question about this soap.  You say you need to buy the 
fragrance from brambleberry as some fragrances don't work well -- color or 
whatever.  I have a whole box full of essential oils that I would love to 
use in some soap.  In particular, I want to try making soap out of some 
combinations that I discovered go very well together.  Is it really 
necessary to buy the scent from brambleberry? I want to use up these scents 
which I bought a long time ago.  I have a diffuser that I can put a couple 
of drops into and it makes the room smell wonderful, but the oils won't be 
used up for years if I use them only for air fresheners.
Any comments welcome.

Oh, I'll tell you one fragrance combo that I discovered goes very well in a 
diffuser and maybe would also in soap: It is orange and jasmine.  I stuck a 
few drops of orange essense and jasmine oil in the diffuser and it was 
incredible how good it smelled.

Happy crafting.

Hey Henrietta

I'd like to know more about how to make the soap, and what methods you use
to do it without sight.  Do you have to heat the mixture, and/or use a
substance, like lye, that you should not touch with your skin?

Curious Sharon wants to know!

thanks!

Sharon
