21 layers of mica goodness

[supersoaper3000]

Craft fair season leaves so little time for playing with soap :roll:
I made this yesterday with the help of my 3 year old daughter (she helped pick colors and spread the layers). We like micas. A lot. I can't wait for her to get old enough to help with wrapping them

We used 6 lbs of soap in a 9x9 baking pan. Each layer is 1/2 cup making for 21 layers in all.

[Pepper]

Wow!! Those are so beautiful. And your daughter is so lucky to have a mum who shares her passion for beauty with her.

 

[Petals]

Those are so pretty! Your daughter did a great job picking the colors

That soap looks amazing!!!
Now please explain how you got 6 lbs of soap in a 9x9 baking pan

Wow! I love it!

very cool, m&p or cp?

 

[supersoaper3000]

Thanks for the kind words y'all.

rubyslippers: Now please explain how you got 6 lbs of soap in a 9x9 baking pan.... a 2" tall 9x9 pan will hold right around 6 lbs of liquid. I melted and added fragrance to 6 lbs of soap in a crockpot, took out a half a cup at a time to add color, pour into pan and spread it all around by tilting the pan. I did that 20 times and finished with a layer that was closer to 3/4 of a cup.

pepper: your daughter is so lucky to have a mum who shares her passion for beauty with her... I'm sure I would make a wonderful mother, but as it stands I make for a pretty good father . No fear, that is a statistically valid assumption that I would be a woman

honor435: M&P all the way. I call myself a soap artisan because I don't make soap, I just make soap pretty.

The fact that you make soap pretty is an understatement!

 

[emilaid]

Those soaps are absolutely stunning!!!!!!!!!!

 

[ChrissyB]

Wow! They are stunning!
I've always been a CP'er, only mucked around with MP with not much success.
You've inspired me to have another crack at it!
My daughter and I were in a National Geographic store the other day and they had gemstone soaps, 100gm each, $24.95!!!!

Ooops Sorry about the assumption, Supersoaper. Edit: "And your daughter is so lucky to have a dad who shares his passion for beauty with her". Unfortunately, I don't know any men who would appreciate the beauty of that soap, or have the patience and inclination to spend so much time to make something so beautiful.

 

[PrairieCraft]

This soap is insane!! In a good way :wink:

 

[ewenique]

Very pretty soap. Reminds me a bit of the Grand Canyon.

 

[ToniD]

Way Cool! And keeping it all melted in the crockpot is a really good idea.

 

[BakingNana]

That's one of the most beautiful soaps I've EVER seen! Thanks for sharing pics. I'm in awe. :shock:

 

[Lesley]

That looks really great
