I like it!

What I was going for here was an effect reminiscent of an apple. The apple cider fragrance oil itself lends a yellowish color to the soap, and the soap coloring in the part spread on the top looks like the apple peel.

Note: I used the same recipe you can find here in my hot process tutorial, but I made it with the cold process method so I could play artsy with it a little more.

    Very pretty! I also like the peppermint soap you made recently. Have you though any more about maybe selling your soap online? Would love to try some!

    Have you ever tried silicone soap molds? I’m sure there are some that are shaped like apples. :jackolantern:
