I just saw your sugar cubes! Mayren: WOW...These are so pretty and they sound wonderful. Have you tried using sea salt also, and if so, do they come out well?

It may have been the fo, depending on how much po you used. My batches with 38% did not get thick that fast. It should be a nice hard bar. Did you superfat it at all?

Honor435: I did a batch with 38% organic PO. It is creamy, but it leaves your skin looking dry; although it didn't feel dry and itchy (if that makes any sense).

OMGosh Lyn, those are beautiful soaps. I love the way they look so creamy...they look like you could scoop them right up.

Thanks Tom & PugMom. I'll have to give it a try again. Do you know if you can grease the sides with petroleum jelly? Someone had suggested that and I thought that was a good idea. I guess I could always line it also, but that kind of defeats the purpose of the silicone. My recipe is a 44...

I guess I should have let my soap sit in the mold another 24 hours, there is not way that soap would fall out easily :) .

Does anyone have the green silicone molds and if so how do you get the soap out?

Very festive, those would be great for the holidays!

Layne: Even though you were not trying for cow spots, it really looks great with the cocoa! I think you've come up with something there. You could call it cocoa cow...chocolate cow...moo moo chocolate... :)

I am glad to hear that it can take longer to set up, I wasn't sure if I did something wrong. And WOW Artisan, you have some beautiful soaps there!

I love the yellow...it really does look very pretty & yummy.

Artisan: Great idea and really like the pictures...thank you!

Also, most (maybe all) of the commercial soaps and many handmade soaps do not list "lye" as the ingredient. They will list it as sodium hydroxide, which may be less concerning to your friend and others.

Thanks Tess!

Ian, I was just thinking the same thing; it really is cool learning of the dates that others celebrate holidays/celebrations.

I just recently tried room temperature for the first. The soaps did come out fine, but it seems that they have to sit in the mold longer before they could be removed (they were still too soft). Has anyone else noticed this?

Beautiful color, they look great!

SimpyE...That is simply beautiful!

Thanks for your replys. I will have to try these. I'm hoping I can use the powder instead of soaking the seeds. I think I'll have better control over the finished results with the powder, once I get the amounts right.

Tabitha: I love all of your labels, very creative!
