  3. Eww! That does look gross! I love soap but I don’t think I would use that even if it did smell good. Um, by the way, what are those little black specks in there? They kind of add to ick factor. Love all the other stuff you share with us though. 🙂

    Think I’ll stick with the brick red oxide for now… 🙂

  6. I was *horrified* when this supposedly stable colorant went “Phummmmmp!” and was all gone. I would have been so upset had it been a larger batch.

  7. Oh-my-goodness! Thank goodness you are testing for us. I totally rely on Bramble Berry to offer me the best raw materials.
