Opposites don't necessarily attract

I'd thought of calling this soap Two Face (aka Harvey Dent for those of you who like Batman) but then I realized, it's more like Four Face, so scratch that idea.

In yet another attempt to contrast and compare, I chose colours that I thought would compliment one another. Or maybe those back to school ads are starting to get to me and I'm choosing school colours. :P


Front

to back

It's not clear from the picture but the purple and ivory are actually at different points. I layered the purple, and poured a thin layer of clear honey base, let it set, and then added the ivory piece and finished it all off with another thin layer of honey base. This soap has a blend of scents, from Bordeaux Blend to champagne, and of course a hint of honey, which should make for an interesting shower.

  1. I like the concept of this soap. Why not four face? :D But I think you should make a Two Face soap as well. :)

  2. Or maybe Face Off!
    You didn't mention blue, dis purple morph to blue on the back side? If it did, it did it great! I like the idea, such a interesting and original design.

    1. Face off, that's a great name Maja! I put a layer of clear between the blue and purple, but maybe next time I should try it without separating them and see what happens.

    2. I like Maja's name as well. Face Off! It sounds pretty cool and your soap sure looks pretty cool too :)

    3. Maja comes up with great names, doesn't she? I'm glad you like the way it looks Roxana, it was fun to try out different geometric designs.

  3. I just love the idea of different look front and back, no matter if there is a layer of clear soap between!

    1. It certainly helps to keep the colours from bleeding into each other. ;)

  4. How cool! I like how the front and back look totally different. Sounds like a neat scent blend, too!

    1. This soap is kinda like me Jenny, never know which way I'm facing. ;) I hope the scents come through alright, guess I won't know til it's used.
