A Soap A Day Project: Day 2

 
These circles are so small that the were about the size of my finger tip!
I already almost failed! This soap, supposed to be finished yesterday, got finished this morning because I really had to get to bed last night. I was just too tired! I did stay awake for another hour reading one of my Dresden novels. When I closed my eyes I wondered if I could have kept going with the soap and was just lazy, or if stopping was the right thing to do to give myself time to wind down. We can't always work at 100%, 100% of the time. You will probably be more productive working at 100% in short bursts and then giving yourself sufficient time to recover.

    That is one beautiful soap and I can't even begin to imagine how long that took to create the embeds!

    Hi Erin, such a beautiful soap! I'm member of a german soap forum, and we are wondering how you made those tiny embeds. We have quite a few ideas.... cookie cutters, straws, syringes, soap canes similar to polymer clay / fimo canes.... I wonder what the correct answer would be.
