Sounds like a plan, Emme!  I had the good fortune to buy this batch of
sandalwood at a store, rather than the farmers' market, so there should be
a distributor/source, who can be contacted.

Actually, the food coloring did make a deep rich red.  I may just stay w/
that, especially if the herb store isn't sure about their sandalwood
source.  I'm doing this to create a checkerboard subtlety w/ marzipan
gaming pieces for a household dinner on 8/28, so I don't have much time to
experiment.  This weekend is shot, since I'm hosting the Bubonicon 31 Spoo
break, so I am booked solid making flarn, breen and spoo for the Con
Suite. (I have discovered that mini marshmallows substitute for baby spoo,
an anachronism in the other direction on the timeline -- 2250s).

playing w/ almond paste...
