First time doing a drop swirl. Trying new micas. Soapmaking

I can’t believe I’ve never done a drop swirl!! I don’t know what I was afraid of. It came out great! Definitely going to do it again.
This scent is described as a clean, refreshing fragrance has notes of bergamot, cardamom, pineapple, papaya, amber, and green tea.

[@Fullinwoolens]

OMG - that first cut and reveal - AMAZING!!! Such a simple technique, but the results are incredible. Love the choice of colours too!

[@jacqshope]

Absolutely gorgeous!

[@fortheloveofart6436]

One of the best drop swirls I've seen!!! The distinction in the different colors they didn't blend and I totally thought they would be all smudged together but they came out perfect!! You can see every single individual drop clearly!! Amazing micas! Love your videos!

[@OpheliasSoapery]

Sheena Castanha I thought they would all blend together too. I think that’s why I avoided it for so long lol. But I’m glad I finally did it. Maybe the key is to have the batter that fluid every time 🤔🤔🤔

[@breclaytor5774]

You can do it with a thicker batter and it won't blend the color, it will just make the drops less deep. I think the biggest mistake ppl make is not using enough colorant to make the proper contrast. Amazing soap btw. Just beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

[@golddae7043]

WOW! I love it!

[@wildwoman222]

Incredible! So beautiful!!!

[@Bellessentials]

Beautiful soap!!😍

[@rachwilson2009]

Wow amazing love the definition between the colours. Most of my soaps are drop swirls. Love them and so easy 😊

[@susanorban3059]

Wow!! Super pretty!! Love this!!❤❤❤

[@steelersgirl071961]

[@KingConcoctions]

I love this color combination! I haven't done a grayscale soap yet.. maybe I oughta..

[@MrLightPanda]

Wowza! Trying my first drop swirl tomorrow. You definitely showed me WOW results are possible! Nice work- now to rewatch to make sure I do it right or right-ish.

[@evehsv5556]

Wow very nice swirls well done. Thanks for sharing.

[@cattail6322]

great drop swirl and i liked the top.

[@julesjam215]

Those are beautiful!

[@paularaynes3365]

wow that's beautiful, I wish I could do it, every time I try it always thickens up x

[@OpheliasSoapery]

Paula Raynes awee! Do you Soap at room temperature? Whisking in colors will help too. Instead of mixing with the blender.

[@paularaynes3365]

Yes its mostly after I put in the fragrance , Im sure I will crack it one day mean time I will stick to HP lol

[@christinebowes2528]

Paula Raynes I’m going through this now.. One of the keys to have more unsaturated fat than saturated in your recipe.

[@agirlwithdifferenttools5850]

Most floral fragrances will thicken your batter.

[@agirlwithdifferenttools5850]

Hit reply too soon. Lol. I always use a very very light trace. Mixing both at room temp helps a lot.

[@michellerigsby1321]

This is so beautiful omg!!!

[@libertymicrofarm6032]

Wow!

[@brightchange6065]

Phenomenal

[@sylviagray4206]

That is gorgeous! What size is that mold if you don't mind me asking.

[@OpheliasSoapery]

Sylvia Gray it’s 11" L x 2.5" W x 4.5" H. There is a link to it in the description box :)

[@sudsnsatin]

Nice

[@teresaluthye1153]

Beautiful soap! I have the same size mold from Nurture. Do you mind telling me your recipe size? My bars seem to be a bit on the short side. Trying to keep my loaf size not too tall for unmolding. I do use Sodium Lactate to help with unmolding. Your drop swirl was stunning! Thanks for the video.

[@OpheliasSoapery]

Teresa Luthye Thank you! I use 44oz of oils. When I calculate how much oils I need I say my bars are 4” tall to give me room at the top :)

[@teresaluthye1153]

Thank you! I was a little short on my amount of oils. I’ll give 44 oz. a try. Thanks for the help!

[@kanik6537]

Wonderful! What size are the bars and are they always the same size or do you do different sizes?

[@kaiOutLoud]

Love! ❤️

[@jenleduc5494]

Cant wait to try this! Curious tho I normally throw my mica colors in my dish with the lye already mixed. I see some ppl mix it to oil first, is that the oil already measured to be added when mixing the lye or do you add extra for that? Thanks for sharing :)

[@OpheliasSoapery]

I always add extra. I’ve never had a issue 😊

[@jenleduc5494]

@@OpheliasSoapery yay ty

[@beckyshomemadesoaps933]

I LOVE this soap, my spirt soap maker. Lol

[@terrikenison5726]

I am curious what part you cut off with the log splitter at the beginning of the cut.

[@OpheliasSoapery]

I make my bars smaller than the mold. So I cut that part off and sent them as free samples to customers.

[@sylviagray4206]

how did you like the micas

[@OpheliasSoapery]

Sylvia Gray I loved them. I can’t wait to use more colored ones :)

[@gloricelserrano5200]

Wow beautiful soap, I love it 😍. Btw what’s that music called. I like it.

[@OpheliasSoapery]

It was called Orange. It’s one of the ones KZbin supplies 😊

[@gloricelserrano5200]

Thank you so much 😊 ❤️

[@nancyhebert3370]

I think your soap is gorgeous. But I am curious about something...Did you slice off both sides of this loaf or only one side? What was your reason for doing this?

[@OpheliasSoapery]

Nancy Hebert the mold is wider than I like my bars so I slice off some to make it my usual bar size. I cut them up and use them as samples :)

[@terrikenison5726]

You mention a hanger tool in your list of equipment. I didn't see you use one in this video 🤔

[@OpheliasSoapery]

I just list all I use. I get a lot of questions about where to get tools all the time. So I just lost everything for all videos.

[@carolynpalano9284]

Hi, may I ask how you mix your titanium dioxide to avoid those dang little white specks? I've tried everything except straining it first.

[@OpheliasSoapery]

I’m actually not sure. I don’t do anything special. I use water soluble from Natures Garden.

[@carolynpalano9284]

@@OpheliasSoapery thank you, I may go back to water soluable, I switched to oil soluble because I thought the water soluble was thickening my batter to fast.TY LOVE YOUR SOAPS!!!
