I made this soap recently.
It’s inspired by the earth and smells like dirt and grass. It’s a breath of fresh air in the springtime
in Iowa. The scent in this soap is what it
smells like in my garden when I get to play in the dirt for the first time each
spring.
I started off with a layer of dirt.
Then I added a layer of grass. I envisioned crisp layers of black and green with
straight lines, but ended up (once again) pouring the second layer while the
first layer was still runny. So I knew
that crisp, straight lines were not going to happen.
Once the second layer was set a bit, I added the sky. Then at the very top, I plopped white clouds
into the sky.
I cut the loaf into bars the other day. I was so anxious to cut it to find out what
each slice would look like. I had no
idea whether the look I was after would turn out at all.
Here are some of the the bars. No two are exactly alike. What do
you think?
Thanks for reading!
