I like this version better. The berries are more realistic and I like the grated soap inside. I discovered that if I grate the soap I am able to make the soap balls as small as I want. In the other version I hot processed the soap and then tried to make berries by pinching off pieces and I wasn't able to make very small balls because the soap would crumble.
The green part that represents the leaf was a shaving from planing the bar of soap. It automatic rolls itself into this shape so very little work is involved.
I added a little over an oz of red grated soap and a little over an oz of green grated soap to a 32 oz batch of oils. I piped plain white soap on top in order to have a bed to put the soap balls.
I scented it with Frankinscense and Lily of the Valley fragrance oils. I'm very pleased with this one.
