SUE'S JULY CHALLENGE

And what a challenge this was. My first bar of soap. I learnt one thing - never use glycerine soap. It has taken three weeks to dry, with embroidery sliding around. For once my DH is right. "What a stupid thing to do" he said!!!!!

I cannot see myself displaying it as it is not really me. Just wanted to try something new.

Thank you Martine. It is a design from Ms Veronica. I had to cut off a bit of the pattern to make it fit.

Some things we discover only by trying them out;now others will benefit knowing that it is the wrong type of soap to use...lovely design.

LOL, Sarah, to hubby's remark....but, the result rocks!! The glycerin really is a nice backdrop for the design, it provides a neutral setting...love it!

Three weeks to dry? Holy Cow! Thank goodness you posted that. I hadn't done embroidery on soap and I was going to try it on glycerine, but not now. Your soap looks really lovely, but three weeks! Yikes!

This is gorgeous! I'd hate to use it - I'd have to have it for display only! It may have taken 3 wks. to dry, but I'd say worth it. Now you'll probably find any other ones so easy.

I think they are only for display as the embroidery would come off almost immediately.
