It's a Pot of Soap

Well, no it's not but if some company can call their chocolates a Pot of Gold, I can come a little closer to the truth with my advertising.  And this time, I'm early for a theme, but only because lucky for me, St. Patrick's Day is on a Monday this year). I thought, what can I do for this theme? Otion had already done a St. Pat's Day soap with the green and gold so I didn't want to do that. I considered doing a rainbow, you know the whole arc thing, but slapped myself a few times upside the head (figuratively of course, otherwise people give you strange looks) and realized that was way too ambitious, for me anyway.

So instead, I came up with a little guest mold rainbow.

This was as much as my ADD brain could handle. I actually attempted to measure out the exact same amount for each layer. But when you do something this small, it's hard to pour out the exact same amount each time. 

The soap starts to harden as soon as it starts being poured out of the measuring cup, and so some of the soap didn't make it all the way to the edges.

You can also tell ROY didn't play so well together, but G did a good job of making itself stand out from the crowd, as did B, but IV kinda blended together.

It's hard to tell, but those are supposed to be coins on top of the rainbow. I should maybe have tried to make an imprint of a coin on them, but didn't come up with that idea until after the fact. Or better yet, put a few Canadian pennies in the soap since they're no longer being used anyway.

So happy early St. Patrick's Day? Are you drinking any green beer? Eating any corned beef and cabbage? Finding any leprechauns? (That would probably be after one too many green beers.) Whatever you do for St. Patrick's Day, I hope it's a good one.
