HI Heather,
re: silicone trays, yes I use a the dark red one (loaf style) and the colour
does leech onto the soap, not toooo bad but still annoying I just slice it off
- Im not too adventurous with downpipes. but round soap is cool. Ingredients -
check out Gina's soapcraft web site, I mainly source from her. Having fun is

am wondering what scent would work well with olive?? any ideas.
Nice to meet you
Mary
