Experimental Teardrop (and another personal update!)

[@bperry415]

To God be glory and all praise to your healing and like you to know you were miss and truly glad to see you back 🤗🤗🙏🏾

[@AmyWarden]

Thank you so much! He's been so very good to me!!

I love modern Science saved you to share your beautiful talents for years to come. Thanks so much for sharing

[@AmyWarden]

Oh my goodness, there's a movie called Living Proof that tells the story behind how the antibody treatments were developed by Dr. Slamon in the 1990's, and it wasn't easy! Before that time, a HER2 positive diagnosis like mine was a death sentence!! I don't think any of this happened by chance - even the development of the therapies that saved my life. I'm so very grateful!!

Amy! You look wonderful. Love your hair. I was diagnosed in February with ductal carcinoma. 2 surgeries and 9 more radiation treatments and I'm done. I, too, am grateful. I'll keep you posted. Much love. Susie ❤️

[@mandimoo87]

Wow Amy, I love your hair it really suits you short! Funky chick silver hair is hard work, get it as white as possible as any yellow and you get green hair! Use a purple or a little silver semi permanent dye in your shampoo each wash to keep it toned xx

[@AmyWarden]

Spoken like a hair care professional!! Yes, we've bleached it twice now, and I have a purple conditioner for that very reason! Yellow + blue = green!

[@michaelarts651]

So good to see you smiling and happy. Many prayers were answered! I remember that Holly put together a very helpful video on how to make a teardrop soap.

[@AmyWarden]

Thank you, Michael!! And yep! I'm just experimenting with a different way that would hopefully be more controlled and consistent. May not be another way though!

[@michaelarts651]

@@AmyWarden It sure is fun to try out new ways of doing things. I really like the method you used to keep the squirt bottles centered over the pour. Precision - I love it! :-)

Love ya and I'm so glad your better your someone even though we've never met. You have been my teacher... Thank you for everything you've done..i understand what you've been going through. That's all I'll say and I'm tryin really hard and I have studied for 2 years but praying for people to take notice of my New Creations and Bible Story Soap Collections. Which are new and I don't have the funds to get all the equipment I need. I wish I could afford one of your stunning bar cutters..The Soap came out beautifully. I love the color. It needs to be I just made one but if you make the center line smaller.

[@joannmahaffey1068]

[@AmyWarden]

Thank you, Dawn!!

[@micolt123]

It’s so GREAT to hear your news!! It looked like you cut the straws after every pass. Maybe that was too much and caused the fatness of the teardrop. Might just try shortening them after every other pass? Missed you, so glad you are back👍

[@AmyWarden]

Thank you, Micol! That's good feedback about the straws. Also wondering if maybe just too many layers??

[@debbieescobar6267]

Well I love the way it turned out even though it wasn't the plan. I remember from other videos that as you make layers of the teardrop you push it in by adding base to the sides near the long edges. You pour both sides at the same time to keep the teardrop from curling. So very happy you are doing beautifully and healing so well! You look healthy and happy! You're a tough cookie!

[@AmyWarden]

Yes, it's definitely missing that push from the base soap at the end to form the drop. I was hoping that it would happen because it was suspended, but too many layers just pushed it out of the teardrop shape. Maybe if I just did two or at most three??

[@debbieescobar6267]

Amy Warden sorry, accidentally hit the thumbs down!!!😬 IDK, it seems to get that drip portion to be narrower than the bottom there needs something to push the teardrop to be skinny at the top. Fewer layers would be ok. I just ordered straws to try your method!

[@lindabuchanan4576]

Great work fantastic channel excellent information sister loveu

[@tanyabonnett7787]

Congratulations on the cancer free diagnosis. I'm glad you got through your surgeries safely. Stay safe and well. Could you use a McDonald's straw as their straws are wider and you wouldn't need to cut to fit over the bottle end then hopefully no leaking

[@AmyWarden]

Thank you, Tanya! That might help - I can't be sure if the leaking is from cutting the straw, or awkwardly trying to tape a straight straw on a not-so-straight nozzle!

[@txheelfan]

Glad your treatments were effective. I'm sure it was a challenging experience. I like the soap even if it isn't a teardrop.

[@AmyWarden]

I am so happy for you on your victory over cancer! I am a new soaper and love it, this is the first video of yours I have seen, but have heard of you and the challenge club from other soapers. Obviously not an expert, but what if you save out some of the base color and after you are done with the teardrop, pour on either side of the skewers to force the top closed?

[@AmyWarden]

Thank you, Cheryl!! Yes, that would be the traditional way of doing the teardrop. I was trying to come up with something that would create more consistent results. Not sure I accomplished that, but it was fun to experiment! 😁

[@cherylm6467]

It is fun to experiment! Some of them don't work how we want, and yet they are still beautiful so how cool is that. Stay well and all the best to you. I am so pleased that your journey to recovery wasn't overly horrible and you had the love and support of so many.

[@mandimoo87]

Fingerprint soap! Try layering colours in 1 bottle and do an in the bottle swirl, do squeeze and pull up over the cut lines on the bar

[@debbieescobar6267]

Is this a thing? Do a video!

[@mandimoo87]

@@debbieescobar6267 just a suggestion of what the soap looked like and how I think we can improve the design. By layering your colours in the bottle, you should be able to do 1 squirt per cut line and get that teardrop

[@AmyWarden]

Interesting concept! I'm not sure I follow everything you're recommending, but it does give me some new ideas!

[@mandimoo87]

@@AmyWarden so layered colours in 1 bottle and a sort of stab and squeeze on each cut line to produce individual tear drops, i think from your experiment you get a tear drop with that motion as long as its not followed by another colour. Just trying to see how it can be done as one movement - but conceded to 1 move per bar so you can really pull the bottle up as you finish each tear drop

[@beckyobeck]

Good to hear you're out of the woods. I'm new here so this is just a back seat opinion: I wonder if there is just too much volume in the teardrops. Next time (if you choose) maybe just one or two passes through?

[@AmyWarden]

Yes, that could be part of it! I'm also thinking I should have saved more of the pink soap and poured it along the sides after the drops were poured to close it back up toward the center. That's how the original teardrop technique is done. :)
