DHALIA and MAGNOLIA

[sygrid]

As dhalia's don't really have a floral scent to speak of I've scented this one with a blend of sweet pea, carnation and rose.

This one is actually prettier in real life. I don't think the green backdrop does it justice but you get the overall.

Here's the Magnolia, and some better shots of the Roses

That is gorgeous! It looks so delicate and it looks like you took hours to do it. I wouldn't be able to bring myself to use such a beautiful soap.

OMG, that's SOAP? that's amazing!

Hazel it only takes about 20 to make the first one, less time once you get a handle on how you want it to look. They are big, the Dhalia is a full 7 inches in diameter and weighs 4 oz, the magnolia 6 inches and weighs 1.2 oz, Peony 5.5inches 3.5 oz. Real showy. Definitely for the luxy tub, but I know they will never see water :roll:

When I suggest removing a petal and washing with it, they look at me like this :shock:

We put the Peony and the Dhalia in corsage boxes for our customers to take home.
The Roses (1.4 oz) and Calla Lilies ( 1oz) are on stems so they go into long stemmed rose boxes. Really a pretty presentation.

btw...that slinky thing...too funny.

Thanx everyone for your kind comments

I'd also look at you in shock and say "You want me to do what with it?"

I didn't realize it was that big. It's hard to get a perspective from pics. Very clever and what a great idea to put them in corsage boxes.

you do such beautiful work. Very creative. I definitely dont think i would use it. It would stay on display for everyone to say... WOW I cant believe thats soap.

 

[cwarren]
