Candybee Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Did you deliberately try for a marbled look? Those look awesome and very realistic. Very cool!! BTW how did you get that great black color? I am jealous!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW how did you get that great black color? I am jealous!!Thanks, Candy! I used clear melt and pour and added black oxide (Nature's Garden) and some white pearl mica. The loofah in there shows through in some spots, too.I've found from experience and from input here and others that you can only get that true black with the clear base. Opaque base just turns a gunmetal gray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Well they look great! You can also get a "pearlized" look by blending clear and opaque bases together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
