A Puzzle

Embedding is a hit and miss endeavour for me, kinda like cooking. Some days, it's great, other days, I really should quit while I'm ahead. But that would involve learning my lesson, which I never do.

I really like the puzzle mould, but it seems lonely on its own. I could package it with 3 or 5 other pieces to make an even set, but the ones I had made in the past, the colours ran together and looked bizarre. This time, I decided to embed a puzzle piece instead. It used to be that the symbol for autism was a puzzle piece (since I made this, I found through Google that it's been changed), so I put an "A" on the puzzle piece to signify autism.


However, since autism is not wanting a puzzle to be the symbol, let's just consider this "A" for awesome. We are all a piece of a large puzzle (some people are more puzzling than others) and we're all quite awesome and amazing in our own way.

In the meanwhile, I keep working on embedding.

Scented with chai FO.


What's on your list of skills to perfect? Have a great week.

Oh, and next week I will do my giveaway, so if you haven't already done so, please leave me a comment on this post or last week's, just so I know you're alive.

  1. Wuuuut? Since when is the autism cause no longer represented by a puzzle piece?

    I like the leaf embeds!

    1. There're still lots of images that equate the puzzle to autism Teresa, but I also read articles saying they wanted to get away from it because says that people with autism are missing pieces or are puzzling. So while not completely done away with, I guess there is a move to find a new symbol for autism.

      The leaf embed is definitely much less controversial. ;)

  2. How did you make that itty bitty A? That's so cool! Your embeds are great! Are you getting ready for fall with the leaf embed? I see a maple leaf in your future :-)

    1. The "A" actually fell off one of the ABC blocks that I featured last week Michelle. :D Well it was an old one that's going to be melted and used in something else.

      I'm trying not to think about fall yet, but I'm seeing people making Christmas soaps already! Ack! I do need to make some more maple leaf soaps.

  3. Love the puzzle embed to symbolize humanity's awesomeness and the various degrees of our puzzling nature. :D

    I have just done it once, but I do want to perfect M&P! Actually, never mind perfection, I just want to make M&P without making a big mess!

    (I hope this comment goes through! It did not the last time. Argh! )

    1. Some of us are more puzzling than others Silvia. :D Or some people are just a huge mystery.

      I think you'll create beautiful works of art when you decide to play with MP soaps again and I can't wait to see what you come up with.

      Blogspot seems to act up on occasion, I know some posts come up twice, but I'm glad yours showed up.
