I quite like some of the colour spotting .....some of which has occurred in my own soap making and some of which I've seen in soaps made by other people.

It is a really deep purple, I've just taken them out of the molds, the colour is nice, as purple is my favourite colour, I love it, but it has spots. How long do you or others leave their soap in the molds, some of mine have stuck even after they've been in the freezer for 10 mins or so. The mold is detailed and takes some of the pattern of the soap sometimes.
