So here it is, rescued from the death grip of the soap cutter lol! Im going to use this design as a signature look for all my round soaps! I really like it :mrgreen:

That came out beautiful. I'm glad you were able to rescue it!

Thanks! I like that it turns a simple bar like plain olive and gives it a little pizazz!

I love this! I want the Wilton embossing mat now... so jelly! Isn't that always the way?

That looks so good....think you might have a few people stealing your idea from the sounds of it!!! Worth the trouble I would say

I'm totally not ashamed to say I'm jealous, I want that same embossing mat and I love the silky look of your soap. Totally green with envy over here

It's definately a hassle! Im going to work on making it a smoother operation. Im going to line one of my acrylic molds next and see how the bottom turns out :think: ...or maybe I will make the "bottom" the "top" ...either way I think I want this look on all my soaps :-D

Glad you like it! The matts are not that expensive, I just wish there were more design options. I was worried about this soap because I've read about 100% olive oil soaps seperating and having false trace and being real soft (at first) and such but this went real well other than getting stuck in the mold, then stuck in the soap cutter lol!

I have been looking at textured place mats on Amazon.com. I have been wonering how they would work for lining the bottom of a soap mold. The only thing is they come in sets of four.

I thought about using those too! I looked for some at wal mart but they didnt have what I was looking for. It wouldnt hurt to try though. I thought silicone would work best as it is more heat resistant. Could you imagine using something that melted into the soap batter eeeeks!

wonderfulla, plas, plas, plas!

Is it only olive oil and lye?

They look fantastic! If I were buying in a shop or market I'd snap those up!

I made 100% Olive Oil soap tonight and it was a beautiful creamy yellow color. I added some fragrance (I mixed peach and baby powder lol....I was feeling weird) after mixing it forever (or it seemed forever to me)! I had trouble with trace but no trouble with separating or any issue like that. It looked so nice in my wooden mold. Even though I had enough fragrance added it still smelled strongly of olive oil. Did yours react the same and have you noticed a dissipation in the smell of the olive oil?

That is nice... How did you do it?
