@@anabelaromao560 glad you like them!

@@Shakaboom33 that one is the common purple mold you can get on Amazon. It's 10.2 inches long, 2.8 inches wide, and 3 inches deep.

Bramble Berry fragrances always have reliable testing notes on their website - that's one of the reasons I enjoy ordering from them! I will say, even if the notes say that the scent behaves, I still always separate and mix in colorants before adding the fragrance. Then if the fragrance causes my batter to misbehave, at least I already have it colored and can just pour.

Gracias por responder are my orden probaré y seguro disfrutaré de un buen jabon

@@jaelvelazquez6439 you're welcome! Have fun!

Thank you!

You are so welcome! I'm excited to see how they hold up in cold process!

Thanks! I used sour watermelon candy from nature's garden. It accelerates, but it does last in cp soap!

@@sweethomesoaps4811 Thank you so much for the information! So much appreciated!

So glad you like them, Margie!

Do you mind me asking if you use Titanium Dioxide or some other product to achieve such white batter? I use T.D. and it's never that nice and white. Thank you! MB

@@LadybugLaneSoaps I use oil dispersible TD from Elements Bath and Body (now wsp). I mix a large amount at a time with a stick blender (1tsp TD to 2 tsp OO) and keep it in a squeeze bottle with steel bearings. I use it at a ratio of about 1/2 tsp to 1 tsp per cup of soap. I don't have to stick blend it into the batter when using this kind of TD, so it doesn't thicken my batch like water dispersible can 😊

@@sweethomesoaps4811 Thank you so much! 🥰

@@LadybugLaneSoaps you're so welcome!

Thank you! I'm so glad you like them 💕 It was a challenge to figure out how to work with such an accelerating fragrance.

Thank you!

So glad you like them!

Thanks so much!

For this one, it was either Tussah or Mulberry. I use peace silk now. Any of them will give a gorgeous silky feel to the bars, I just prefer to use peace silk so that I can be sure that no insects were harmed so that I can have silky soap.

Thank you!

Thank you! It's from Goodspeed. He's in Russia and has closed his shop. A similar cutter is from soap cutter pro, but it's not as high, unfortunately.

@adriennewot Bummer. Yes, I have one that I like a lot from Soap Cutter Pro, however I have noticed when I want to put a loaf on its side to cut (so I will not damage top design or get tracks in my cut bars), I have to fiddle with the height, angle, blah, blah, so as not to have the loaf moving all over the place when I cut. Thank you😊

@@adriennewot Unfortunately I don't know of any other soap cutters that are made that way. It's the whole reason I chose this one. 😔

@@sweethomesoaps4811 Yup, well, most of the time mine works well, so, if and when I do some fancy stuff, I will just take the time to cut them one at a time. Most of my soaps are 3 - 5 lb batches. I have not advanced to the beauty of, say, your Cranberry Fig Soap. That is ab-so-lute-ly GORgeous!! I showed my husband the photos and said I wished I could make soap like that. He said, "Does she give classes or do videos?" I laughed. 😊*Heavy sigh*.

@@adriennewot I love making small batches so that I can add those little touches. Making 15 pounds of soap at once is no joke! The design of the cranberry fig is nothing very special as it's just a drop swirl. It's still difficult to do with a ton of soap! But with 7 pounds, it's doable!

Thank you so much!

Thank you!

I do. I now use Mulberry silk. I use quite a bit more than the "cotton ball size" recommended though. I use 2 grams per 10 bars. I also feel like it helps harden the bars for quicker unmolding, but I haven't heard anyone else say that. 🤷‍♀️

@@sweethomesoaps4811 oh how interesting 🤔 I have some but haven’t yet tried it, I’ll give it a go and let you know 👍

@@kasie680 I think you'll really like the silky feeling it gives to the lather!

Thanks for watching!

Thank you!

It's so cool to watch!

I'm not a huge fan of the swirls made from the infinity shape. My preferred method is circles going in the same direction, but in different parts of the loaf. Sometimes I'll do 3-4 swirls underhanded on the bottom half of the mold and then 3-4 swirls over handed in the top half of the mold. That makes for more of a butterfly shape that is really lovely!

@@sweethomesoaps4811 thanks a lot !!

At about 5:44 I had someone raise the camera so you can see better. I don't have a great setup for filming and it's hard to get the best angles. Basically I just alternated pouring the colors up and down the mold until I ran out.

I make it myself, or I purchase from Sorcery Soaps (I use recipes found in her books).

I made the seeds out of soap dough and a clay extruder. I let them dry a bit and cut them for the top. I used the long canes for the inside of the soap.

You're welcome! I never rewarm the lye solution. I have used it as cool as 62 before with no real issue. You have to watch for false trace, but if you know how to deal with it, there's no problem.

Thanks so much, JoAnn!

Thank you!

Lmao same

My thoughts exactly!!!😂😂

Thank you so much, Melissa! I really need to make these again!

Thank you! I'm so glad you like them!

Yes! This has happened before. I decided that the crystallization happens when the citric acid doesn't fully dissolve and I miss it. I started mixing the aloe/citric/sugar for about 30 seconds to a minute, letting it sit for a while, then mixing it again. That seems to have helped.

@@sweethomesoaps4811 Thank you! I will try this.

@@macio5102 good luck!

Thanks so much for watching, Ashley! I'm so glad you found my channel!

I really enjoy a challenge! This one was fairly easy compared to others I have tried. Thanks so much, JoAnn!

Glad you like it!

Thanks, Tammy! I like how the buckle actually sparkles! Shimmer gold from nurture is awesome in soap. I love Marina's stencils! She has way more talent at this technique than I do, but I just won't give up, 🤣

Thanks so much!
