Hi Everyone, I hope you are all well and looking forward to the weekend. I hope you enjoy the video, thanks so much for watching

Lisa, lovely, can't wait to try and make a great soap for the soap challenge Club, my 1st time and a bit nervous😥😊,

[@IDreamInSoap]

@@justaddlivingwater Don't be nervous, just try your best, there will be so many soap makers of all different abilities, there's room for everyone. It's all about learning and having fun

[@amberleitao4727]

@@justaddlivingwater love your name that’s so cool! Makes me want to take a nice bath! Good luck love! No reason to be nervous, the challenge is meant for growth, and won’t be like standing in front of judges getting critiques... you’ll do great and you’ll learn new techniques along the way!!! Best of luck 🤞 ❤️

[@douglasgee4436]

I am always amazed at your designs. So appropriately titled, "I dream in soap". Everything you make is a dream come true. Your explanations are clear and concise. I began soaping at a late stage in life. You are such an inspiration. Thank you for sharing your wonderful gift with us. I think I'll be soaping now until it's no longer possible. Awesome!

[@PrettyWitchCraft]

Its good to see that things don't always go perfectly for you and you can make little mistakes too! Putting the goose in the wrong way made me laugh. I was wondering at the beginning why your concept showed a different moon than the thumbnail. And you almost forgot the fragrance oil too!!! It happens to the best of us. As usual, the end result is just PHENOMENAL though!

[@doodlesrus3172]

Just found your channel and so happy I did. Love watching your videos. So technical and so artistic. Love love love them!

[@moonshadowessentialssoapsn5287]

Of course u won! Girl, u are the Vincent Van Gogh of soap making! Ur amazing the way ur mind works is amazing! I wish I could do that but I’m dyslexic and it’s impossible for me to construct something like this in my head especially when ur actually making the to of the soap at the bottom of the soap mold so ur making it upside down. I can’t wrap my head around that. U truly have a gift!

[@janetcaird6807]

Lisa, I love the design of this soap. Thank you for leaving in the not perfect goose in moon and the part where you almost forgot the fragrance. It makes me feel better about the mistakes I make when soaping. And that is ok to just adapt when things aren't perfect. You are the most amazing and knowledgeable soaper I watch. Thank you for always teaching and making the rest of us better soapers. You lead by example. All the best, Janet (Congrats on your award)

[@IDreamInSoap]

Thanks so much Janet, ooh yes I'm sure we all do silly things. Luckily having the fragrance in a little pot right where I need it normally helps, as in here where it caught my eye just in time. Luckily so far (oh gosh I hope I'm not jinxing myself) I have never, yet, forgotten it completely.

[@TheHokieMama]

I giggled at your dive bombing goose! 🤭 It turned out beautifully!

[@wyogrl11]

I giggled when you said that the goose would be dive bombing instead of flying into the sky. Just for that reason, I had hoped that you would have left it like that. 😊 It’s a lovely soap and I’m in total awe of your artistic vision and execution!

[@IDreamInSoap]

Thanks so much Kimberly, yes, I looked at it so carefully when I put it in and then still did it the wrong way, goodness me :-)

I love it! Even with the half moon at a bit of a different angle, your design turned out great. And the fact that you almost forgot the fragrance? Yay! I'm so glad I'm not the only one who does that! At least you remembered before you'd poured all your soap. (Unlike me. When I forget, I totally forget.) Thank you for sharing this. And for ALL your wonderful videos that help so much! Sometimes I wonder what it is you do when you're not making soap. An architectural engineer? You're so mathematically correct about everything...

[@IDreamInSoap]

Thanks so much Janie, I'm normally pretty good with the fragrance and as yet (shouldn't tempt fate) have never actually forgotten it in a soap. Yes you are correct about my 'normal' job. I am actually a Chartered accountant, but I work in education, training students for their professional accountancy exams :-)

[@AndiNewtonian]

I just love your videos! It always brightens my day when I see a new one in my subscriptions feed. FWIW, the curtain in my office has the phases of the moon on it. Comparing it to your soap, I think your modified design looks perfectly fine! Not wonky at all!

[@IDreamInSoap]

Thanks so much Andi, ooh excellent news about the moon, I couldn't believe it, I looked so carefully, but was looking at the wrong part of the goose

[@UFOCrochet]

I hope you make a video with more details on the extruder. Is it aluminum, if so does it not react with the soap because the soap dough has already turned into soap. Tips and tricks on how to use it, for those of us, like me, who over think it. A behind the scenes look on how you make the custom disk and scrapers would be cool. Do you use a 3d printer to make them, sheets of plastic, what type of plastic is used etc. Thank you for sharing all your soap making tips and gorgeous artistic designs.

[@ratchelmcmahon9175]

Here’s a bit of ignorance from a non maker… can moulds be ‘greased’ like baking pans? Would it make un-moulding easier? I love your videos. They’re always so creative and high quality ❣️

[@IDreamInSoap]

That's an excellent question, greasing them wouldn't work because soap is made from oil, the lye consumes all the oil to turn it into soap, so anything you greased your mould with would just turn into soap too.

[@ratchelmcmahon9175]

@@IDreamInSoap Cool. That makes sense. Thanks. Would food grade silicone sprays be consumed by lye? I’m sorry for the questions, my head is in solution mode 😏

[@IDreamInSoap]

@@ratchelmcmahon9175 Hmm I'm not sure, the problem that may occur is what's in those as all of our soaps have to go through a cosmetic safety assessment to be approved. Soap as a whole doesn't really stick to moulds as long as it's set up enough. With this one it was just me working out the best way to unmould it

[@karenpilkington2895]

Hi Lisa I am a huge fan and look forward to your Friday projects. Your colourful sleeves have me interested in where you find them - or if you make them yourself - do you have a pattern? It would be helpful instead of wearing a long sleeve shirt in this extremely hot Canadian summer. Thanks for being my Friday highlight.

[@IDreamInSoap]

Hi Karen, my good friend Whit at Cheeky Goat soap sent me these one. They come from here farmersdefense.com/ and yes they are great for when it's hot

[@donabouse5957]

Lisa I love this. I’m in the process of placing an order on your website. I’m ordering your large extruder and all the pieces. What kind of extruder do you use for the small ones. I want to order your small pieces but I need the extruder too 🤣

[@IDreamInSoap]

Ooh excellent. For a small extruder I use and love the FIMO professional, it's great quality and takes the 23mm size discs, but the problem with it is that it can be quite hard to find. Most others like the Makins, Walnut Hollow and all the ones you see on Amazon are pretty similar, they all take the 18mm discs, which is OK, but it does limit the designs you can do. Walnut hollow does do an extender cap that allows you to use slighlty larger discs (24mm). The Large extruder that I use comes with an adapter disc that allows you to use smaller discs in it as well, so it does give options and in a push you can get by with not having a 'small extruder' but if you do want to extrude small things not in large quantities it is handy to have a small extruder as well rather than getting the large one out and filling with a lot of soap dough each time.

[@donabouse5957]

@@IDreamInSoap you’re right about hard to find. I’ve not found it yet. So I think I will keep looking and order your big one. I’m heading in for knee replacement in a few hours but as soon as I’m back home I will get that ordered. Thank you for your reply and cannot wait to get the goodies.

[@madtabby66]

They're geese, ducks have shorter wings. (Sorry hunter came out of me) But you're giving me some great ideas on things. Wouldn't a whisk work better with the black? Or was it too thick for a whisk to handle?

[@IDreamInSoap]

Ah ha, that makes sense and now you say that I have to agree. A whisk would have been good, but it was fine with the blender, I actually don't have a whisk for soap

I like to know what diameter is your extruder? I live in the US, and our extruders are 14cm.. I like to know if your extruder disc would fit our extruders? Thanks. Esther.US.

[@IDreamInSoap]

Hi Esther, I do several sizes. Can you check the size of your s as 14cm would be huge, actually far wider than a bar of soap. Most extruders in the US (I sell hundreds of discs to the US) have discs that are either 18mm (makings, Walnut hollow, lots of the cheaper extruders from Amazon). The Fimo professional has 23mm and the Walnut hollow extender is 24mm. On top of that I do discs for my large extruder gun which are 57mm. I think maybe you mean 14mm, if so, I haven't seen an extruder that small and no-one has ever requested discs that small, but if that is it's size, then no I'm afraid I don't have them that small.
