After watching MyCherriCola's video on Youtube that uses cranberry seeds as decorations, I've been inspired to incorporate them into a soap design. Unfortunately, cranberries are not a native species to Australia and with their tough quarantine laws, it is hard to get botanicals, etc. from overseas. The strict laws are a good thing as it protects plant and animal life against pests and diseases. I thought all of my Christmases had come at once when I found some seeds for sale.
I had to order as many packs as I could and sat about waiting for their arrival making my husband dutifully check the letterbox every day. Finally, they arrived and upon opening the package, my husband turned around and said 'this is what you have been making check the letterbox for every day? They aren't very big are they?'
You know what? He is right. I don't know whether there is another species of cranberry that produces larger seeds or clever photography on behalf of other sites? The species of seeds I ordered were: Vaccinium Macrocarpon.
Can anyone point me in the right direction for the better species of cranberry for decorating soaps with, any advice would be greatly appreciated? TIA
