[@EvesGardenSoaps]

Hi Becca ~ I appreciate you watching my video and your thoughtful comment. I'm very grateful for your kind words, because there are some awesome soap makers I've watched. To be counted among them is an honor. You are very sweet. Thank you! :) ione eve

[@loktungwoo3466]

i am picturing you as a cute grandma that gives out beautiful soaps to your grandkids all the time lol (if you are actually like that in real life then i'll be so jealous of your grandkids!!) also this soap is so beautiful and i have never seen anything quite like it

[@EvesGardenSoaps]

Hello, and thank you for the thoughtful comment. I am a grandma and all my relatives including my grandkids get soap as gifts. You nailed it, LOL! I'm happy you watched my video and your comment put a big smile on my face. :) ione eve

Hi Stacey ~ thank you for watching and your kind words. It took 3 years for me to undertake this challenge again, LOL! :) ione eve

[@nourishedconnections]

I want to learn

[@ShaffaAdam]

Your soap bars looked even better the drawing you made in the beginning. All those extra colours really gave the final picture a lovely effect. Your attention to detail is absolutely admirable. I can't even imagine how long it must have taken for you to finish these bars of soap, what with having to wait for each separate layer to set until you could pour more soap on top. I loved how you explained each step so even an ignorant like me could understand the whole process. Thank you for sharing this video with us. And you finished it off with tiny little stars on top...it was perfect!!

[@EvesGardenSoaps]

I really appreciate you watching my video and your thoughtful comment. Your kind words made my day. Thank you very much! :) ione eve

Wonderful job Ione, The boat sinking down to the sand makes it look like someone pulled it up to the shore line. Sooo beautiful. Hugs !

[@EvesGardenSoaps]

Hi Elaine ~ thank you for watching my video and the lovely compliment. I am disappointed with the position of the boat, and have plans to do it different next time. At first, I toyed with the idea of calling the soap "Beached" instead of "Sunset", LOL!

Your so welcome. Either way it turned out beautiful.

[@katherineahrens9062]

So I'm watching this video of yours and saw that I left a comment seven months ago! However, today, having watched many, many, many soaping videos and gotten a few batches of soap under my belt - though not enough to be very efficient at it - I'm struck by the amount of time it must've taken to design and plan the construction of this AMAZING soap!!!! Astounding, really astounding... it's very much a reflection of the artistry you so wonderfully possess! It looks to me like the fact that the pink colored soap thickened a bit more than planned very much worked in your favor! Watching you apply it seemed as if the thickness enabled you to really sculpt your sunset, lending to it the subtle textured effect of the presence of clouds! So, so amazing..... ❤, k

[@EvesGardenSoaps]

Thank you, Katherine! Scenic soap does take a lot of planning and preparation, not to mention the time element putting it all together. I really enjoy the challenge, and plan on doing it again! :) ione eve

[@wheezemeister5536]

The bars came out really well, would like to see you un mould the soap and cut it, it's the most satisfying part ✨ glad you are making videos of your progress ☺️

Wow I've just begun my soap journey. Still using melt and pour. You are an inspiration

[@EvesGardenSoaps]

Hi Madeline ~ Thank you for watching my video and your thoughtful comment. I hope you will give cold process soap making a try. I have to warn you though, it can become addicting, LOL! Kind regards, Ione :)

[@anngordonruleman3250]

EvesGardenSoaps already addicted to melt and pour. Lol. I've always been a bit of a closet artist. I've discovered that painting with mica is something I'm really quite good at. Discovered a technique by accident. I have pets and the lye scares me a bit. But I love working with color. Can you do clear portions like the glycerin with cold process.

[@EvesGardenSoaps]

Hi Madeline ~ I would love to see how you paint with mica. I'm going to give it a try with some sea shell embeds, but haven't done it before. There are some videos on how to make melt and pour soap base, but they come out rather yellow instead of clear. I'm not sure if it is considered cold process method. Regular cold process soap is not clear. I know you can do many more design techniques with cold process soap than you can with M&P. While safety precautions are necessary when working with lye, it's really not too bad. The main things are to wear gloves and goggles, work in a well ventilated area and handle with care. I measure the lye and water into separate containers. Then, add the lye into the water under the stove fan. Always add lye to the water, never the other way around. Stir until the water is clear. I cover the lye/water container and put it in the freezer to cool to 100 degrees or less before working with it. While it's cooling I get the mold and oils ready. If you decide to give cold process method a try, I would love to hear about your experience. In the meantime, I hope you'll keep in touch. :) ione

Hi Christine ~ Thank you for watching my video and your gracious compliments. To answer your question, I do have premixed colors in the little squirt bottles. Now, I make more soap so have colors premixed in larger containers. :) ione

Beautiful soap. Just took a class for cold process soap making, now I just need the artistic talent so I may try making my own. Maybe one day, I hope.

Hi Suzzette ~ Thank you for watching my video and your lovely compliment. I hope you try your hand at making soap and find it as enjoyable as I do. Don't worry about the artistic aspects at first, just see if you like making your own simple soap. The design work can come later. Happy soaping! :) ione

absolutely beautiful wish i was able to soap like that i only started soaping two months ago but i do hot process you dont have much time with hot process but i am going to try cold process next.

Hi Lesley ~ thank you for watching my video and the nice comment. I hope you enjoy making soap as much as I do. It's been a super-fun hobby. I know some nice designs can be done with hot process. I prefer the cold process method since I get stressed when I need to work fast, LOL! After you try cold process, I would love to know what you think about it. Happy soaping! :) ione eve

You are quite the artist, Ione, very talented indeed. Your incredible eye for color, your imagination and sophisticated knowledge for soap making are most impressive. I see you have your colours pre-mixed in bottles. I would love to know how you prepare them. Jane

[@EvesGardenSoaps]

Hello Jane ~ thank you for watching and the very thoughtful comment. It was heart-lifting! To answer your question, I buy cosmetic-grade minerals and mica in powder form. I mix them with extra light olive oil. Mica doesn't shake-up well, so I use little containers instead of squirt bottles for those. Mica is mixed at a ratio of 1 part mica, 2 parts oil. Other minerals are mixed at 1 part colorant, 5 parts oil. I use a frother to fully incorporate them before pouring into the squirt bottles. Because of oil contained in the colors, I adjust my superfat level lower depending on how much color I expect to use. I hope this helps, and happy soaping! :) ione eve
