Soapwork: Glycerine soap with embedded object

My 2nd trial after i purchased my glycerine from the internet. I saw this design from the internet and i kind of love it very much so i decided to take a try. As we know, glycerine has the properties to moisture and soften the skin.

Glycerine soap disscolves in warer more rapidly compare to soap with less glycerine. More over, if glycerine soap is left exposed to air, it will attract moisture and "glisten" with beads of ambient moisture.  Glycerine soap should be wrapped properly once done.

I'm using embedded and suspending marigold petal technique this time. However i melted my embedded object on my 1st pour. :( and the soap became not perfect.

By the way, I am happy to see the marigold petal suspended perfectly but I need to work harder on the embedded technique. As you can see, the object is not adhere evenly and it looks ugly though..

This is consider a big bar of soap, i decided to keep this soap instead of remake it again.

it took me around 2 hours to complete this project as im using a double boiler, and things kinda screwed up in between. :P
