Michele Posted June 18, 2007 Author Share Posted June 18, 2007 Thank you everyone and the Granite bar is achieved by going to a medium trace and then incorporating 5 colors and just stirring with a spoon gently. The motion is in the wrist and kind of make a circular mix but not too much. You have to work fast as it moves in a split second. Even on this batch I couldn't get all the way to the bottom of the mold in time as you can see.I have another variation that I did in blues and will post that tonight.

jaybyrd Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 Weell, just throwing it out there. Can't wait to see the blue granite. Is this one a salt bar, that made those little bloom effects? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michele Posted June 18, 2007 Author Share Posted June 18, 2007 Nope, niether of them are salt bars and what causes the "bloom" is the trace consistency which is rather thick and then incorporating 5 colors by mixing them in with a spoon. You have to work really fast though and it is a challenge. It is a twist of the arm that causes this effect and of course the miracles of Mother Nature and lye.
