A continuation of contrasts

I liked the idea of contrast so much I decided to do some more and this time try and get a brighter background.

I know, dragonflies are much brighter than this, but I really wanted a contrast.

And my sister-in-law asked me to make her some wine guest soaps for her shop.

Short and sweet for a change. Hope everyone had a great weekend.

I'm fine

Someone once told me what fine stands for (and if you're of a more delicate constitution, please skip the rest of this paragraph and move onto the next paragraph, or watch this video in the meanwhile

F.I.N.E stands for f***ed up, insecure, neurotic and exhausted. The person who told me this was a family doctor, so the next time you go see your doctor, remember, he or she does have a sense of humour.

I've mostly been the E in fine which is why I didn't post last week. However, as I was doing some filing in the office and disliking every minute of it, I thought about how much I enjoyed soaping but haven't had the energy to do it. So I decided to start up again. I made this dragonfly soap previously but the dragonfly didn't show up as much as I'd like.

This is the first one I made. The green dragonfly doesn't show up as well against the background of green. I guess in real life, the dragonfly would want to blend in somewhat, so it's not such easy pickings for the birds. For me though, I want to make the dragonfly the star of the soap, so I tried this.

I'll probably try again with a more purply dragonfly just to make it stand out more, and with some glitter to make the dragonfly more iridescent.
