  2. Is the citrus soap tutorial complete now? I was hoping to see soaps like the perfect citrus slices on your blog.

  3. Erin, I’m glad my inadequate flailings are helpful. It really bugs me when I see big name craft designers just magically popping out with perfect crafts, supposedly the first time. The hours of work and preparation that go into making a perfect batch are there for every crafter out there … it’s just that some shows and magazines edit them out. =)

    Barb, The final soaps were insanely simnple. I was thrilled with the technique because it builds on the flower project from March:

  4. I’ve tried this oh so long ago with not so great results. These look great. Looking forward to the tutorial!

  6. I’m so impressed, those are so lovely!

    I am also enormously relieved to find out even you don’t always get it the way you want it the first time out. I’ve been working on a soap that’s in my head for weeks now. I’m getting closer though! πŸ™‚

  7. Thanks for the compliments. You’re generous – and when you see how long it took to get to the perfect technique, you’ll laugh lots. =)

    Candace, even if you’re a newbie, this is really an easy project. It’s literally a matter of being patient with the detail work so I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised. =)

  8. I looked at the first photo and thought: “How cute are those” and then I scrolled down to see the new and improved ones and thought, “holy cow, Anne-Marie, those are stunning! Can I have some for my lemonade?”

    beauties…

  9. That’s impressive! I can’t wait to see how you did it! πŸ™‚ Even the before pictures would be complex for me, LOL! I’m a total noob at this.

  10. Picture #1 looks like something I have in my own portfolio. I can’t wait to be taken to picture #2! Those look juicy, yummy!

  11. It was a fun project to do and definitely humbling. When my first soaps came out, they were pretty but they weren’t anything close to a citrus slice. Thank goodness they smelled good. It was the sole redeeming quality for sure. =)

  12. Oh my! That is a wee bit of a difference. I will call your ‘befores’ mosaic soap. Ooooh, that would be fun to make!

  13. Me, too! I can’t wait to hear the details. The soaps look beautiful!

  14. Aw, they look so great! Citrus slices was one of the first things I went for when I discovered MP soap. I used round cookie cutters but they looked nowhere near as good as these πŸ˜‰

  20. Mmmm, citrusy soaps! They look like those gummy fruit candies. Would love your secret.
