Abalone shells have always been a favorite material of mine for jewelry making. Though because they are too expensive, I did not buy them often. And having learned how endangered they are now, I may not buy them again anytime soon.
I do find their colors fascinating, so when I saw this fragrance called Abalone and Sea, I thought it would be interesting to try to make them as embeds with melt and pour soap, so that the shimmer of the Micas could be seen.
Below there is a link to the video of the making and also ingredient list. (Some of the ingredient links are affiliate links.)
