Sunflower

"Sunflower"

For today's batch, I was inspired by one of my favorite flowers... the Sunflower. Not far from my house in the late of summer the Sunflower fields are majestic-as far as the eye can see the Sunflowers hang their heavy heads while bees busily buzz from flower to flower.

Beautiful mossy green stems and leaves, cheerful gold petals,and a deep brown center.  I always thought that if a Sunflower had a pleasing scent it might smell like Lemongrass with a hint of Dark Patchouli...


I think I'll probably do some tweaking with things,but the idea is there and I'm liking the Sunflower "rough draft." They smell fantabulous too!

That soap is absolutely stunning! Even with the most natural and earthy of colors, you definitely captured sunshine and sunflowers in your design. Thanks for sharing! =)

Anne-Marie-Thank you so much for always having an encouraging word!

I am pretty happy with how it came out overall. I may use Yellow Kaolin next time for a brighter yellow.
