Gemstone Soaps! (1st attempt)

[Koshka]

I've been suffering from boredom all day today and decided to experiment with making gemstone soap. So, my whole kitchen is a mess right now, chunks of soap laying on the floor and all over the place, but I think I'm onto something here

Product of my boredom:





what do you guys think?

 

[Obsidian]

I think they are lovely, you did a great job.

 

[savonierre]

You did a fabulous job, they are beautiful.

 

[Ancel]

Those are beautiful! What a great result of boredom if only I could be so bored

Oh pretty! My husband today was joking with my 'emerald' labeled green and told me I need to make him a emerald bar for his Bday stone. haha
I need to buy those from you and pass them off as my own!

wonderful job! I'm "green" with soap-envy now! can't wait to see more of your little works of art! I can't help but think, wouldn't they go well at a rock & gem show or selling in a rock & gem shop? :idea:

So, he's a Taurus, like me then? You can get that green by mixing yellow and blue. I tried regular green, and it came out too light

Next in line is Aquamarine Or one of the blue gems... I know that the pictures don't reflect the "real colors" that well, but with the right lighting, those soaps look so realistic!

[Koshka]

Thank you, hun!

I saw your pics on fb. They are fantastic!!! Love it!

 

[AngelMomma]

Your welcome! Do you have a pic of what the soap looked like before you made it into gems? Where they bars? I don't think I would ever have the patience to sit and do that, but they look SO COOL!

 

[Koshka]

I don't have any pictures, but I'll make sure to take some next time I'll be experimenting.

The soap looks like a mess of colors, and pretty ugly too lol.

Those are beautiful! They look like rough emeralds when they are found in the earth.

 

[Clemmey]

Ok how do you do that? It's fabulous!

 

[Koshka]

Well, this is melt and pour base. You have to melt the soap base, add colors, cut it, dip it in other soap, cut it again, fill it with other soap base, then cut it again in shape of rocks. It's a pain, and very time consuming. Sigh...

Ok how do you do that? It's fabulous!

 

[MaitriBB]

I love these! They are so much better than my first attempts at soap rocks. Now I want to try again

 

[Trinity]

They are beautiful ....... What did you use to get that vibrant green color?

 

[Koshka]

Yellow and blue oxides!

They are beautiful ....... What did you use to get that vibrant green color?

Gemstone Soap

These are beautiful, how did you get the shapes? Did you use a mold or just random cuts when you cut up the soap???? What about June - my original stone is Alexandrite a pretty pinky purpley color. You can't find (or if you do) afford the stone anymore since it is SO rare

 

[MKRainville]

beautiful!!!
