well, I now have the first bath of marigold and spearmint hand creme brewing on the windowsill in olive oil. I still need to purchase some beeswax. The clover blossoms and chickweek are awaiting their turn in the oil, I think I will try the crockpot method for some of the clover. Perhaps some cocoa butter or lanolin and vitamin E oil would be a nice touch. Now only to find some containers to use to hold the ointmint when it is ready. Baby food jars would work for samples, but would not look the prettiest.
