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.

Scented with BB's Bordeaux Blend

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

    Good contrast and wonderful detail on the dragonfly soap, Monica.
    I think it's cool to have a wine shop and to have matching guest soaps. :)

      Thanks Silvia! I love doing the detail work sometimes, it makes me slow down and concentrate. Eventually I'd like to make some CP soaps with wine in it, I think that could make a good addition to the store.

    I love that dragonfly soap! I think you did a great job on the detailing. What's the scent?

      That's so nice of you Teresa! I still feel the need to play around with the colours some more because although the detailing shows, I don't think I have the perfect colour combination.

      Oh sure, ask me a difficult question. ;) I can't remember what I used this time, but it smells kinda like strawberries.

    Your dragonfly soap looks great, Monica! Nice idea to have some lovely soaps in your sister wine shop, it will certainly make a good addition!

      Thank you Nat! I have to admit, the dragonfly turned out a lot better than I was expecting, so I'm pleased with that.

      I hope the wine soaps will be a welcome addition to the store, people seem to like having new things to look at and try out when they are regular shoppers at a particular store.

    I remember your grape soaps earlier, do I???
    The dragonfly soap is gorgeous, the 'lake' -green is fantastic

      You do remember correctly Maja. The original grape soap was a full sized one, these are the small guest sized soaps this time. But you have an amazing memory, can I borrow your brain when I need to remember stuff?

      Glad you like the dragonfly soap, I really like the pattern, but still need to work on the dragonfly's colour.

    Both soaps are so pretty, Monica! I especially like the dragonfly soap. The colors and details turned out very nicely!

      Thanks Jenny! I kind of worry that the "grapes" will start to bleed into the rest of the soap, but then I guess that'd be turning the grapes into wine. ;)

      The dragonfly has such great detail to the mould, it really makes for a pretty soap.
