I got that off a Pinterest humour page. Originally this post was to be titled Cherry Blossom, but I've been hit by the soaping gremlin and nothing's working right.
I always think of spring when I see cherry blossoms. Actually it used to make me think "yay, final exams are coming soon which means campus will be quiet again" but since I'm no longer affected by it, I don't think about spring that way anymore.
Cherry blossoms are quite prolific here and I love walking or driving down streets where all you see are cherry blossoms in bloom. This is my tribute to them. Again I tried to make layers, hoping it'd show through with thicker layers of clear soap between.

| This is the idea I wanted. However, I just *had* to add another layer, which made sense to keep all the "cherry blossoms" in place. |
I scented it with a combination of pineapple cilantro and raspberry kisses. Maybe I put in too much of the raspberry kisses, but it turned my clear yellow, hiding the delicate colour of the pink soap (and totally negating my point of trying to make this look like cherry blossoms!) and that's why I put a few more on top, to show off the colour.

| Well you can see the tree branches and other layers if you have x-ray vision, and you all have that, don't you? |
 |
| You can almost see the branches from the underside of the soap. On the bright side, it smells nice. All 3 that didn't turn out. |
 |
| My final attempt at getting the picture in my head into my soap mould. |
If anyone has any ideas as to why my clear soap turned cloudy on me (besides the fact that I've wronged some soaping god), I'd love to hear it.
What is your sign that spring is coming or has arrived? Have a great week everyone!
