Chocolate Transfer Paper. You can get some great designs. It can smudge easily if you're not careful though. Either needs a layer of clear soap or a spritz of hairspray just for display purposes. Also have to be careful not to pour the soap on too hot as it melts in too much!
I'm planning to use rice paper/water soluble paper for some others though. I want to make some limited edition ones that look like a road sign, for a local festival. I considered making my own mold for it, but thought the letters would be fiddly to cut out, so am thinking this may be the best option. The limited edition ones I'm actually theming more specifically with the place (Caledonian Road), where as my others, can be somewhat tenuous. (Portobello Road, flowers, hippies, retro, funky. I have one called Centre Point, where the only connection really is the name, as it's a sleep inducing, calming, centering one with lavender and frankincense). The Caledonian Road soaps are to reflect some of the fantastic cultural groups we have living in our local community, so they will smell of Ethiopian Coffee, Turkish Delight, Bengali Spices, English Flowers and Irish Cream (Baileys). I'll try to post a picture of that and some others I'm working on when I'm done. I'm having my first ever stall at this local festival, which is kind of exciting!
I've been thinking about whether you can incorporate designs into shave bars/lotion bars/massage bars at all. (Probably using micas, and swirling like you would with m&p). Any idea if this would work? Guess I can find out next week when I try it. Am mainly thinking of the shave bars really- as you wash that off, where as with lotion bars, it would have to be at most a shimmer or a colour that didn't look odd on the skin! I guess I want to give my shave bars a somewhat "manly" feel! (Thinking brown and blue at the moment) Any thoughts or experience with this?

I would have loved to be at that concert too.
