WOW Tanya, thanks for sharing your ideas. I have just started making my own soap, and am having lots of fun with it. All new ideas are greatly appreciated and will definitely be tried! Keep up the good work. Best Wishes from the UK. Ria

Thanks for posting on hometalk. I saw these also and wanted to make them, just not sure but I guess my idea was pretty close to how you did them. Thanks again. I'll have to order a few more things to get started. I think they are so pretty.

these are very pretty…you can remake bars of soap that way using left over soap slivers…I'm very old and thrifty.

Your plan sounds lovely!The weird thing about the mica dye is that the soap lathers white, not colored. I've never worked with soap before so this is all new to me but it seems like the glycerine traps it somehow. Bath bombs made with it can definitely stain tubs (I've read), but with the soap there wasn't even any color released when it's used. It never stained my stone counter, which did stain when a strand of my freshly dyed hair fell on it and sat in water for too long (crap). But if you're worried about your counter, then it would be a good idea to avoid colorants of any kind. The glycerine on its own is gorgeous and in your mold with a lovely fragrance, this would still be a really nice soap.

I am a minimalist so I would probably make the monocolored gemstone using my diamonds silicon ice cube tray. They will be perfect for my guest bathroom. Glad to hear that they didn't stain, but not sure why they didn't since its still dye sitting on a surface. Maybe your new tub just has a great finish on it. But I do worry about my sink counters as they are rather old and possibly porous. Although I wouldn't know for sure since I am obsessive about keeping anything that could stain, off of it.Anyway, love your soap rocks.

Thank you! Definitely, it would be a great craft to work on with someone but it's also kind of a peaceful project to tackle alone.

This looks absolutely marvelous! It seems like a nice project to do together, or a perfect afternoon all to oneself!
