      </FONT><P><FONT face="Verdana%2C%20Arial%2C%20Helvetica">I find about 9.5 ounces of base is enough to do 300 petals and fifty or
      so leaves. I melt the base in the microwave - while it's melting, I put
      about 3 inches of water in the pot on the stove and bring it to a simmer.
Add FO to melted base, stir well. During the holidays, I add a little gold
      mica and dip holly leaves. A silver or gold mica might look nice if you
      have a dark red rose petal.</FONT></P></TD></tr></table></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.mermaidsbath.com/SoapPetals_HowTo.htm"><div align="center"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.mermaidsbath.com/img/2B2B1CC1-B079-45B1-96C0-4D2E1ACAA8C2" alt="" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.mermaidsbath.com/SoapPetals_HowTo.htm"><div align="center"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.mermaidsbath.com/img/E500383B-A721-4332-AE30-F960DCB33937" alt="" /></div></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/6E2FC29E-BA20-44BC-A601-FAA024ED039F/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
