Discoloration, how I love thee

Chocolate Mint Teatime loaf with MP embeds which are, of course, getting gross glycerin dew. Par for the course.

Cute! And a great use of discoloration.

That turned out really nice. Sometimes we just have to go with the discoloration and it works!

I like the minty green.

I like it on the outside!! Do we get to see cut pics too? Okay, I haven't used M&P really so what do you do when you have to let it cure but your M&P embeds start to cry? I'm thinking you may cover the top with a layer of Saran while the rest stays open but wondering how you manage the mix of the two.

newbie, I spray the heck out of them with IA, and put a loose layer of plastic wrap over the top. The embeds actually fare very well, even in the humid weather down here. My Winter Citrus soaps are still doing okay after four months, and each has three little MP embeds (orange slice, lemon wedge, lime wedge).
Anyway, here is the cut version. I like to work with natural discoloration rather than against it, which is why I'm not a huge fan of titanium dioxide.
