I can see clearly now...


No wait, I can't. Why? Because I'm still not using a clear base. I thought the honey base would provide a nice glow, giving the soap a sunshine-y feel to it, but it's given it more of a "I haven't cleaned my sunglasses so things are kinda blurry" feel to it instead. But it smells nice at least, scented with black raspberry vanilla.
This was supposed to be a beach-y scene, but it's hard to see the sand and sky.

Also, you can't really see the hard work (hah!) put into making the embeds different colours

Almost looks better from the back

You can see more details from the side, but who looks at soaps from the side?

Take my picture at 3/4 angle, that's my best side.


See, so much prettier at an angle.

Hope you're having a sunshine-y week!

    1. Aww, thanks Teresa! I probably should've used a more beach-y scent, but I didn't think that far ahead.

    1. *Waving back!* Great to see you Robyn! I'd love to share my soaps and get feedback from friends! I usually give them out and no one says anything. But maybe no news is good news?

  3. Such a good Laugh! You go into so complicated projects! Beach scenes, my god! Try a snow scene next time;-). Though you may try adding animals and trees... All your soaps are absolutely unique and bursting with life! This is such a pleasure to discover them! Can t wait for your next idea!

    1. I'm glad my moments of insanity can make you laugh Madame Propre! I will definitely have to try a snow scene maybe for winter time. If I had real patience, I would carve out trees and if I had real skill, I'd attempt animals too. ;) I'm looking forward to being inspired as well. Now if I could only package up my soaps as beautifully as you do.
