[Nfb-krafters-korner] Input Needed

[Henrietta Brewer]

Hi Liz,
Well, I ppour half the soap and add the dried leaves or powders when 
the soap is somewhat set but still sticky. Then when it is dried I 
add the rest of the melted soap.  You could change colors at this 
time if youlike.

I purchased a bar from a farmer's market that has larger pieces of 
leaves and stems placed on top to add to the look.  Theirs has a lot 
more fragrance then mine from the herbs so I am looking for info on 
what I can do. Maybe it was herbs harvested at a better time or add 
scent.  It was billed as all natural.
