I'm still new enough at this whole soap thing that I'm frankly amazed that a) I made that. and b) that it was good enough to win. I still do a little squee and happy dance when I look at those soaps on my curing rack. That's one batch that definitely will NOT be rebatched.
earlene, your rhodochrosite soap was spot on, and the gold mica and the gold chain you used for a prop totally sells the jewelry look. Honestly, I didn't realize at first look on your entry that the big oval cabochon was soap. I thought it was the pendant you used for reference, I didn't see the smaller actual pendant until I looked at the pic again.
Your river rocks are kind of what inspired my soap dough rocks, penelopejane. I'm wondering how you got the surface so smooth. I tried using some water with one of my agates to smooth away the tool marks, but the soap went way too squishy and I wound up with soap dish marks all over the bottom (and still had tool marks visible on the surface- fail).
Hah! MySoapyHeart, I hear you! Heck, I'm putting together freakin' product lines inspired by this challenge in the back of my mind, and I don't plan to even MAYBE try to sell for at least a year or two, if ever.
galaxyMLP, your challenges are awesome and so much fun! Thank you for hosting them.
