Making it was a headache, but I'm really happy with how it came out. The color will change some as it cures, that recipe always looks a bit dark until it "dries out" some, and it's actually going to end up almost exactly as I envisioned it.

Raw pics from my cell phone, so not the best quality:

Once they're harder and I can clean them up some, I'll get better pics. In the meantime, I'm very happy with them, they smell just like my beloved osmanthus that's planted next to the porch, and the color came out almost exactly like what I'd pictured in my head. :D
 
So pretty - I love the delicate swirls!
 
i don't know that plant either. It's beautiful! Those swirls are awesome!
 
Osmanthus is aka sweet olive or tea olive, it's a plain looking green shrub/bush, has tiny white flowers that don't look like anything special, but the scent....omg the scent. It's my favorite smell in the entire world.
 
can i have your cellphone and your soap?! *Grins* they are gorgeous and the quality of those pics is more than enough to show that!
 
That is some very pretty soap, Tess. I love the color and I bet it smells great. Don't you love it when it all comes together like you planned?
