I got some really nice cubes, almost 1/4" square, on this piece of paper I had suspended in a pint glass. I dyed the solution green, which didn't affect the salt as much as the paper itself. I broke these off and I'm currently using them with all the other crystals I grew as seeds for something more arranged. We'll see if that works out...

Wow, funny. I've been scheming about this exact same process ever since I went to the salt mines outside Krakow. They have all these old pieces of furniture and hand tools completely covered in salt cubes. Pretty amazing.
So - it seems like wood might work especially well for this - maybe because it soaks up the salty water?
Anyway, looking forward to seeing what you're able to do with this.
