Mint & Tea Tree Soap

That was a long night! Couldn't wait to get my log of soap out of the mould. I had forgotten all about the soap ball embeds until I made the first cut. It was a nice surprise from me to me!
So here it is all cut and smelling lush! 

The balls were made from a previous batch of cp soap, off cuts from cookie cutter experimenting. I had visions of it being too hard to cut or the balls falling out or not holding in the rest of the mix, but they're there to stay. I heated the balls in the oven before putting them into the fresh soap mix, so I think this helped with them sticking in place. 

There's not as much info on cp soap embeds, melt and pour appears to be the norm. This isn't an avenue I wish to go down, so I expect more experimenting on the horizon.
