Reminds me of the Van Gogh painting " starry night". I'm addicted to your videos. Thank you for sharing

Thanks for another lovely video, Ellen. The colours you used and the way the swirls came out reminds me of the art piece Starry Night. Absolutely beautiful.

Such a pretty soap. Might have to pop over to the soap store.

[@EllenRuthSoap]

🥰🌜❣️

[@genevieve730]

Absolutely gorgeous. I like that you used a bit of activated charcoal with the blue.. it gave the soap the perfect color of the sky with the moon shining and misty around it.

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Thanks! I was so happy with that color combo 🌜

[@niccoleholmes567]

Your soaps as always are absolutely beautiful. Have a great day.

[@sherrymartindale8582]

Those are so so pretty Ellen❤and watching you pour it in the mold was soothing almost😊 I did a white shimmer glitter on some mountain peaks kinda like your method with the moon, my goal was snowy mountain look, turned out pretty cute:) You nailed it again! 🎉❤

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Love the snow topped mountain idea, I bet it was beautiful❣️

[@sandywest4299]

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Thank you so much!🥰

[@jessicabatson8135]

Absolutely gorgeous!!! Glad you are back - can’t wait to try this one. Could you share about the soap scrap box? I must have missed that.

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Thanks! It's a "scrap pack" from Eco Soap Bank, they take donations and make new soap.

[@melissapeterson4202]

❤️ very beautiful

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Thanks🌜

[@wandabrumbelow3562]

Very pretty❤

[@tonyaswitchykitchen]

Love that blue! Gorgeous soap! I use a ziplock bag to coat my embeds. Kinda like shake ‘n bake. 😂

[@EllenRuthSoap]

That's a great idea! Thanks!

[@clavadeplata]

i would love to see you made soaps inspired by the planets on the solar system. lovely soap as usual Ellen 💙

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Great idea!🌜❣️

[@Nina-2311]

Oh my so beautiful! I ❤️ it! I don't have those mold so I use cookie cutters lol

[@EllenRuthSoap]

🌛👍❣️

[@charmainattwood977]

I love your moon soaps🌙 the swirls from the ITP pour are gorgeous, you even got one that looks like a spiral galaxy, love this soap. I still hope one day you will ship to the UK.

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Thank you so much!🌜❣️

[@Helen-we2ys]

Hi, I've really enjoyed trying to replicate this soap. You do it so brilliantly! I had a problem with the glitter though - it disappeared!! It was neither too fine or too course, but when I went to cut the soap there was no glitter to be found. I want to try again but I don't know what to do differently to make the glitter pop. Any tips? Love watching you work. You always make such beautiful soaps x

[@kathy4950]

Hello Ellen, great job. Kathy from Cali.😎

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Thanks so much!🌜

[@marieoge7561]

Very pretty

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Thank you! 😊

[@lennyasmrart]

Very very pretty 2 thumbs 🌚

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Thank you! 🤗🌜

[@ivonvalle2683]

What a stunning soap omg, ty for the video. Question I follow the recipe I change the palm oil to sweet almond oil, and for water I used 90z cause I put 4 oz goat milk, I used the same mold and it gave me 1/2 mold of batter, I did the recipe in ounces, what did you think happened. Only half of batter in mold.

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Thanks! I'm not sure what happened?? Plus, if you sub oils in soap make sure to run the # thru soap calc, they each have a different sap value.

[@SweetFrances]

Omg!!! So beautiful!!!!! Your work is really amazing!!! Where did you buy those long spout mixing cups from?

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Thanks! I got them from both WSP and Amazon.

[@TonicMercantile]

These look incredible, Ellen! Do you keep a bar for yourself as a souvenir?

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Thanks! Some times, if there's a "wonky" bar I'll keep it😉🌜

[@HelenCleaver-pj6yq]

Hi, amazing soap, I am definitely going to try it, won't be as good as yours but I'll give it a go. My problem is I can't get the Moondust fragrance here in the UK. Is there an alternative that you could recommend? Also if wanting to make a black soap, would you use an oxide or mica - which would produce the least coloured lather? Thank you so much. I have learnt so much from you xxx

[@EllenRuthSoap]

I'm not sure what suppliers you have access to.?. In my opinion, mica's bleed a bit less than oxides, I also really like using activated charcoal.

[@JudyBernstein1]

Stary night, you could sell this at the Art Museum, next to Van Gogh! Very inspirational 👏 ❤ 👌

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Wow, thank you🌜

[@estelaortiz7095]

I love those colors! Beautiful 🤗 l would love to make this but here in the Dominican Republic we don't have Palm oil. Thank you Ellen🌻

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Thank you 🌜❣️

[@kristenbellinger6589]

So, so pretty Ellen! 😍 I've never done embeds so I have a question: it didn't look like you had to let the initial pour set up before you put the embeds in, what keeps them from sinking down? Your ITPS came out just gorgeous! Thank you, I love your videos, I always learn from them!

[@EllenRuthSoap]

If you have a good medium to thich trace, it will be enough to suspend the embeds.

[@kristenbellinger6589]

@@EllenRuthSoap Thank you!

[@danielbolger25]

I use soy wax 415 in my soaps instead of palm oil i use it at 10% and shea butter at 15%. i trying to stay way from palm oil but i am going to try this soap recipe

[@rhondam883]

Is the recipe you used for the embeds only or the base and embeds please? Thanks. It’s beautiful

[@EllenRuthSoap]

It’s a great all around soap recipe, and it’s what I made the embeds with.

[@matthewirvin6505]

I was looking at your website and wanted to buy the moon

[@violetelin1901]

Van Gogh in soap!

[@matthewirvin6505]

Would u ever consider making a tallow soap

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Yes👍 it’s on my “to do” list.

[@patriciabaldwin2194]

🌑🌑

[@susanmoniz1372]

If you freeze the cold process embeds immediately before unfolding, would that help to avoid damaging the embed before removing them from the molds?

[@EllenRuthSoap]

I’ve read that freezing MP can make it sweat more.?.

[@susanmoniz1372]

Oh, but you made the ‘moon’ out of cold process right?

[@EllenRuthSoap]

@@susanmoniz1372 Yes, you’re right👍 freezing might work.

[@greenbarn2213]

Ellen, how do you figure out how much soap you need for moons. I made some and had loads of soap left over…😂😂

[@EllenRuthSoap]

I fill them with water and weigh it, then shoot for that amount of soap batter.

[@margafrantz4406]

Would be so nice to have you as my neighbor ❤

[@kaidentournier3185]

I wish you shipped to Canada…

[@AlbertH132001]

Isn’t the glitter an inconvenience in using? Anytime you get glitter on your body it’s such a hassle. It’s pretty but such a pill. Any concerns?

[@EllenRuthSoap]

No concerns, it rinses off after the first use 😉
