All I can say is WOW!! I can see why it took 2 years.

Lovely and capturing the 'spirit' of the subject. I'm very impressed.

[moodymand]

Thank you very much Crystal1 and Ken :)

Well when I say 2 years, it wasn't like I was working on it solidly... more like a month on then 6 months off! LOL. I got lazy (or as I prefer to say, distracted!)

Wow! Amazing! :)

Wow! This is a beautiful, majestic piece of work. Just found this particular forum on WC, as I am interested in trying out water-soluble oils, and want to learn more from those who use them.

Had to leave all my "regular" oils back in the U.S. in January, when I relocated to the U.K. Be that as it may, the move has put me out of the loop until now, so I'm getting back in touch with what's happening on WC. Happy to find a forum dedicated to the H2Oils.

That is impressive. You've got a fine eye for detail. I am so impressed you did with this water solubles. It's amazing.

[catchafairy]

What brand are you using, by the way? Maybe I just wasn't using the right brand.
