This is the second batch from yesterday. It's a fairly high OO recipe so it's not ready to cut yet. I unmolded it this morning. You can see from the bottom of the loaf that it's too soft still. It stuck a little to the knife when I cut the end off. The scent is BB's Christmas Tree. I really like the scent. My house smells like Lemongrass and Christmas Tree. 
The specks are ground Rosemary and dried ground Parsley flakes. I wanted this soap to be green like a christmas tree. I started with a little green clay but that didn't make it green enough. I added the Rosemary and then the Parsley. It still didn't seem all that green but I was happy when it gelled and the green got darker. This batch also has some sugar for bubbles and Tussah Silk. Here's the loaf unmolded.
