Stone Love
Oh about a month and a half ago, I made this soap that I called Indian Summer. It was okay, but as it cured, the beautiful jewel tones began to fade and ashen. I was not feeling it, but it was perfectly usable soap.
Then a light bulb came on! Make a huge soap ball, but make it pretty. Let me tell you: I sliced this soap up with a potato peeler, then shaped it by hand to form the perfect orbs you see before you. After I let them set, I then dry-brushed them with various colors of mica to make them shine and glisten like aquamarines, citrines, and pink turquoise. Big difference huh?

Thanks Laquita and Monica. You're two of my favorite bloggers:)
Argh! Dontcha just hate watching as a batch of soap transforms from beautiful into... well... not so pretty? Silly FO's.
But I love how you took lemons and made lemonade. Or in this case, soap balls. They look great and I adore that touch of mica :)
you are amazing! You've inspired my creative juices :)
Beautiful soaps. Those rounds soaps resemble donut holes. Looks to delicious. Yumm.
