@szaza I can't wait to show my hubby your arrowheads! He's an archaeologist and I'm sure he'll dig them!

You're good, Carolyn. Hope you enter something!

 

[szaza]

Thanks @SaltedFig I'm quite happy with how they turned out. I am starting to realize carving seems to be a bit of a go-to for me when I want to do something fancy.. maybe I'll have to get out of that comfort zone next month

Haha @MarnieSoapien great pun I hope he'll like them

 

[szaza]

Love your amethist soap stones @Misschief !

Only one is soap, szaza.

Only one is soap, szaza.

I know and I love it!
I really like the way you played with the white, it's just enough to be realistic. And I also like the way you carved the 'stone'. The color is a bit different, but I think I actually like the color of your soap better than the real amethist (though that's really subjective, I'm generally not a big fan of purple)

@Misschief, Your Amethylst soap is perfectly purple!

(the white veins through flecks of different purple tones - brilliant!)

Just a question How dit you guys handle the smelling departement in this challenge? Leave it unscented? Take the color as scent inspiration? Just go with what you like?

Unscented. The challenge is taking place via online photographs, right?

Yes, but I don't thing the little angel you've entered is going to pass as a soap

The entry thread will be added to the banner shortly

LOL! That was just a bump.

Nice take on the challenge @Terri E ! Love all the colorful little soap stones, the slab looks like a basket full of gemstones

Thank you for the lovely comment!


Szaza, I think your arrowheads are amazing! They look perfectly real!

 

[newbie]

I love the three completely different takes on soap stones in the entry thread! LOVE LOVE LOVE the creativity.

@Terri E, can you tell me which picture you would like in the survey? I really can't decide, so I will leave it to you to tell me.

Yes, probably the slab, thanks!
