Yep.... these are my latest soap 'play', Orange and Sandalwood Olive Oil soap balls.
It's been quite therapeutic to sit down at the table and just roll away - I still need to wear gloves as the caustic hasn't yet cured out of the soap, but it's always exciting when you see the batch starting to come together.
Next time I might have a play with adding a dash of orange colour somehow, perhaps even using fresh orange juice in the base? It was a bit of a challenge to get the orange segments to stick securely, and I will wait and see if any 'pop off' as they dry out! Ahh.... live and learn.....
Who knows? It's all fun and I am happy to see how each batch I make up turns out.

Oh, these are gorgeous! I don't think you need to colour them, they're lovely with the contrast of white and the orange segments together.
I have a few soap balls here that I've started taking to the markets with me for decoration, all piled up in a bowl.
Great job Annie!! Love 'em x

Think I agree with innerearthsoaps, Annie. The white and orange make a nice contrast. I imagine the caustic would play havoc with orange juice?? Maybe? What about carrot juice? Or even one of the spices eg, tumeric (yellowish?), saffron (yellowish?), paprika?? Just a thought, or as you say....live and learn! :)
