Today, we're featuring a guest post from Amanda Griffin of the blog, Lovin' Soap. At Lovin' Soap, Amanda shares wonderful soapmaking posts and tutorials on everything from using natural herbs as soap colorants to creating unique swirls in CP Soap. Amanda also publishes an E-Zine on soapmaking through the site, and offers soapmaking classes in the Dallas/Fort Worth area.
Recently, Amanda posted an article showcasing all of the Clays that we include in our Clay Sampler Pack on From Nature With Love. Amanda added our Clays to a simple cold process soap recipe and yielded a rainbow of gorgeous colors.
