CareBear Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 Crystal, I think it might be best if you ask your questions of the Herbarie. These are pretty specialized ingredients - do you have them? I haven't looked at the formulae so don't know how specific or complex they are.Good luck!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crafty1_AJ Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 They do sound pretty advanced for a NOOB, in my opinion. I started in B&B with melt & pour soaps, lip balms, lotion bars & body butters. These aren't as tricky and complicated as your recipes sound -- much simpler, gentler intro to B&B. JMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crystalb Posted July 25, 2006 Author Share Posted July 25, 2006 yall are probably right! i have done the m&p soap before and it kinda got boring to me......melt, color, scent, pour..melt, color, scent, pour...you know how it is. i kinda wanted to try something more interesting without having to order premade bases and doing the same thing as with m&p soap. it does sound HARD and intimidating. yes, i have already ordered and got in all of my ingredients. i reckon i'll give it a whirl and see what happens:undecided . thanks for the replys and help!
