Upside down or not, what's not to like? Looks like a well done pencil line to me! Maybe you'd prefer a little color on one side of the line?

I agree with the color on one side, maybe a pastel so the pencil line is still prominent but...way to go! I also agree "what's not to like?" I know what timing it took to get the trace just right so the dark line came through. Excellent looking soap! :clap:
 
I'm not sure. I imagined it looking more rustic or something but it's pretty modern. I thought it might look foresty, like a branch in the soap. I didn’t want just a plain green soap but all my others are sort of chunky/rustic and this one doesn't seem to match I guess.
 
If you want something more rustic, next time texture the bottom layer before you make your pencil line. That will make it crooked and a bit more interesting.
Here is one of my pencil line soaps, made with gold and white mica.

That's awesome! ! I think I will try the texture thing and maybe 2 colors, but I will have to work fast :)
Thank you for the compliments ladies :)
