soap crafting

I've always been intrigued with transparent soap...so i bought a ton of stuff at my Spotlight [craft store in australia] sale yesterday and couldnt wait to try it out.

This is my first attempt at soap crafting. its not very good but i love the smell of it! my apartment smells really good now. hope some of the soap experts can give me some comments and ideas!



questions i have include
1. how do i encase stuff without it forming a white line showing clearly where i had poured the second batch of soap on?
2. what sort of molds can i use without having to buy expensive soap molds? [i paid US$4 for my rectangular mold and i kinda think that's costly for a bit of plastic]
3. any sites/ideas/books for Heat and Pour? [that's the stuff i am interested in]like what i can encase and stuff.

Thankies in advance!
