While my sister was visiting, we hit the thrift stores as we always do. I managed to find two bags with 3 moulds each for $2.99. Score! This flower is one of the moulds in there, and I put it on a mini muffin silicone mould I had bought for half price. Don't you love a good deal?
I was going to do a swirl effect with the flower, but it didn't work out the way I planned so I went with it and poured a soft pink on the bottom and then topped the rest of the mould with the remaining oatmeal infused white base.
Hindsight being 20/20, I should've scented this one with something flowery. Well there's always next time right? Maybe something jasmine-y or the white ginger and amber cybilla FO, what do you think?

Those are wonderful! I think BB's Cherry Blossom FO would go great with this project.
ReplyDeleteAnd making a lei is a great idea too!
Thank you Teresa! I like that idea of the Cherry Blossom FO, I'll have to use that scent on the next batch I make (if I do again because you know me, ADD big time). A lei would give new meaning to soap on a rope.
DeleteSo pretty! What scent did you use? Yes, a Jasmine or another dainty floral scent would be a good match.
ReplyDeleteGood deal on the molds! It feels good to get a good bargain. :)
Thanks Silvia. I was too lazy to pick a scent this time, so I should try another batch and do something floral.
DeleteYeah I can't resist a good deal. :)
As for me, it would be water lily, it looks like one , floating on the water surface! I just thought how translucent it looks, then I saw you put two layers, very smart. Love the look of this soap, so watery and tropic. Who needs autumn in September?!
ReplyDeleteI love bargains, but they exist to leave me pocket-emptied and i always wonder where my money has disappeared afterwards. Hihi, there's always something!
I've never tried water lily scent Maja, but that sounds lovely. I like your idea of it though, floating on the water, that makes for beautiful imagery. I do enjoy autumn for the fact that I can put on more layers of clothing and therefore eat more and not look like I've gained weight.
DeleteHah I know what you mean, it's too easy to snap up bargains because the more you spend, the more you save. ;)
Very pretty, Monica! I love those fun thrift store finds, too!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jenny! Thrift store shopping can result in such a treasure trove, can't it?
DeleteThe scent I would I associate this soap with would be frangipani, but every floral scent would be a good match. Love the layers of the soap( great job) and of course, it's always nice to get cheap and good soap stuff!
ReplyDeleteFrangipani, is that a flower scent or something edible? Sorry, I always think about food and with your creations, doubly so Nat. :)
DeleteThanks, I was pleasantly surprised at how well the layers turned out.
