Julia Popova, a talented soap maker based in Saint Petersburg, Russia, creates amazingly realistic bars of soap that look like delectable desserts and juicy fruits.
Nine years ago, when Julia started making her beautiful soap bars, she only made them as gifts for family and friends, but she received such positive feedback that she actually started showing them off on social media.
Soon, orders started coming in and the OmNom Soap brand was born. In the beginning, she would buy regular soap bars, melt them, and then mold them into the desired shapes, but as she became more involved in the artistic process, she started buying the basic ingredients and then making her own soap. Calling it soap does not do it justice, since every one of her creations is more like a piece of art.
Looking at some of her hand-made bars, it is easy to see why she has to keep her eyes on visitors at various exhibitions because sometimes they will try to take a bite out of the realistic creations. And who can blame them when they look so tasty?
Interestingly, Julia’s soaps not only look amazing, but they smell wonderful, as well. Instead of the usual soap fragrances, like lavender, jasmine or other floral scents, she prefers dessert aromas like vanilla and strawberry, which only make her creations more enticing. As for her realistic bars of fish-shaped soap, they smell like lemon.
Almost all of the people who actually buy Julia Popova’s creations to clean their hands feel sorry for ruining them, but most of her clients either collect them or use them as decorations.
