1st Soap Ball Embeds

[GreenScene]

And I'm very pleased. I'd been wanting to try this for a while but couldn't figure out the best way to roll the balls. I wound up making the yellow soap (scented with SGS Sunwashed Linen) one evening, letting it gel, and then I used the ends to roll the balls by hand the next morning when it was still nice and soft. I dampened my hands a bit towards the end to smooth out the bumps a little. Once the balls were dry, I just plopped them into the top of the fresh soap. I'm not sure if this is the best way to do it, but I'm happy with the results, especially for the first attempt which I always expect to be less-than-stellar. ;-) I just posted these pics in the CP forum, but I had to share here, too.

No, that's exactly what I was going for! I'm glad it reminded you of that. It's scented with Sunwashed Linen, and I was going for a blue sky and rising sun effect (and an extra planet or star for the fun of it!).

Really cool looking soap! How do you like the FO? Was it easy to work with?

It was a breeze to work with. No discoloration thus far and no acceleration. SGS says it smells like linen dried on the line, but it just smells like a laundry room to me right now - not as mild or subtle as the stuff off my clothesline. Not that smelling like a laundry room is a bad thing at all. I really like it - very fresh and clean. I used 1 oz. ppo, and it's surprisingly strong, though that may fade with time.

Love it, the contrast in colours is fantastic. I saw a sunset with lovely colours just last night that I want to copy into a soap.
