gold leaf in MP

[Donee']

Just messing with MP and gold leaf.
Bought some gold leaf - but by the price I figured it was a mix of mostly copper
Melted down a MP sample I had and added in gold leaf - it turned black .
Used pure clear (still trying to figure out how to get it crystal clear though - and added gold leaf and so far its remained gold - will hand out to neighbours to use and see if it stays gold when it hits water.
Its purely for the OTT (over the top) people in the market place and am planning to farm it out to jewellers and novelty gift shops.
So lets see what happens.

It sounds interesting enough, but why would someone want to buy a soap with metal in it?? Sounds like it might hurt your hand (and your the drain).

nooooooooooo
it actually dissolves onto your skin - some of our more luxurious spas here offer gold facials.
People with to much money are fine by me - i will take some of it.
Am thinking of corporate gifts as well........... maybe.

maybe even sell to duty free shops - tourists taking home some SA gold.

have you had any luck with the metal flakes in the melt and pour soaps you are making ? or any update photos rather to post if you are still on the forum that is.
