Beautiful!!
Olive oil takes longer to set up in general and shrinks more when curing over the 4-6 weeks... So your imprint might warp more than expected later imagine a tattoo that looks great at 18. But not so hot at 55.
Also powdered resins like benzoin, frankincense or rosin were used to harden soaps as well
They turned out very nice. Your recipe took the impressions so well and you must have unmolded at just the right time because I don't see any damage to the design. Kudos to you!Thank you for all your help. I unmolded today and for a first try they are cute. I saw today where another soaper had put the embossed sheet in a larger mold and it made a lovely thicker border. So next try will be with a in the pot swirl and maybe a larger border. I will have to see if they change much in the 4- 6 weeks.

That is exactly what I was planning on doing next. I prefer to make small 1 lb batches right now. So my next attempt will be exactly this.What you can do is make a smaller batch so the soap in the bottom of the loaf mold you are using is only the depth of your standard bar -say 1 inch. Then cut it at 2.5 inch lengths so get six or so bars per loaf. The sim is a cake of soap with the decoration on the face.
