Sparkling Dumb Soap

Er...Sparkling Plum Soap. Yeah, well, I've been calling it Sparkling Dumb Soap since yesterday afternoon. I was so excited to cut this one and was so disappointed to find the yellow inside. The same soap in the topping isn't really yellow but it is definitely yellow inside. I was going for a brisk white, or at the very least a cream color. I also had troubles cutting this one, it was soft but crumbly. I let it rest a day longer and it cut much better. I found I still had the crumblies until I realized it was my beautiful purple knife causing the problem. :( So I'm back to my trusty, rustic wooden handled knife to do the work. We can always trust the oldie but goodies can't we? I had some other troubles with this soap but I won't go into that and you'll be grateful. :)

Bottom line: I'm ok with it. I'm not thrilled and still feel somewhat jilted by it, but I'm coming around and I truly can see the beauty in this soap. (Though I wish I would have let some other bars take the lead in at lease some of the pictures... :P)

We are our own worst critics at times! I see nothing at all wrong with this soap .. it's pretty and I bet it smells lovely! I love the soap balls too.. did you roll them in mica?

It's a really lovely soap - rather crisp cold Christmassy looking... stop beating yourself up woman!!!

I think the yellow goes well together with blue and purple. The soap has very nice harmonic colours. I like it very much.
