Question-
This is the first time for me. Are we to try to re-create the soaps using the same colors or can the colors vary as long as the technique is re-created? For example- Can I make different colored sunflowers as long as I follow the technique in the instructions?
Hi Robin – great question.
The colors can vary as long as the technique is re-created.
Thanks so much!!!!
