Sorry, I put it in the student art show. Plus it's not for sale. I want to hang on to it.

great piece...love the colour. Did you get that just from the wax paper and oil? I thought soapstone was greenish/blueish/grey in colour.

Soapstone comes in lots of colors.

You can wet the stone to get a general feel for what the color will be. After you wet-sand it, let it dry, and then apply the oil... that's when the true colors will show. After the oil, you put on a layer of wax to seal it in.

The first dolphin pic I put up was just wet. The second had the oil and wax. I'm not sure what kind of oil it was but the wax was bees wax.
