I have never made soap (and probably never will) but I could watch your videos all day! Always so well done, and you have so much knowledge to share, but you're always so humble about it. Thank you for sharing xx

[@IDreamInSoap]

AW, thank you so much Kristen, that's so lovely to hear, thank you for taking the time to leave a comment for me.

[@jasperbunny]

The knitted jumper assessment! This is pure art. Lovely :)

[@IDreamInSoap]

Ah ha, yes you are right, to the top of the class for you :-)

[@lorishelstad5968]

Lisa u are incredible!. My sister came for a visit with me last summer. She kept telling me I want to teach u how to soap. I'm thinking "Oh boy....ok." Long story short I'm addicted.... I love her recipe. She lives on the coast of BC Canada, so we communicate telephone ECT. I wanted a more in-depth look at soaping. I searched amongst the soapers on KZbin and then Lisa popped into the picture. Then I saw this volcano lol, incredible!!!! Lisa thank U!!! U are quite a teacher, I'm binge watching ur videos. Love ur art, because that's what it is! 😊😊😊❤

[@IDreamInSoap]

Thank you so much for your lovely comment 😘

[@AndiNewtonian]

I love how the sculpted design on each soap is slightly different. These really embody one of the things I love about abstract art -- that you can stare at it for hours and keep seeing different things. And each time you come back to the piece, with new eyes and new experiences, you see something else. As always, great work! Thank you for brightening my day.

[@IDreamInSoap]

AW, thanks so much Andi, what a lovely comment :-)

[@mamasoaps392]

Will be waiting! Thanks!

[@MeghanKaras]

I'm so glad you made this video. I was hoping that you would. I just could not wrap my head around how you made this soap.

[@IDreamInSoap]

So pleased you found it useful Meghan

[@tassiegirl1991]

Your a super teacher, calm approach, excellent instruction and application You make the use of the pallet knife look easy but I’m sure you need much practice to perfect that skill, the soap turned out great. Thank you.

[@IDreamInSoap]

Thanks so much Tassie girl. I found that trace was quite important, it needed to be thick but not too thick, so just at the point where it would roll nicely, once it got thicker the edges of the designs started to get jagged.

[@kimjones199]

SO delicate and beautiful!

[@alexandraw909]

I'm just in awe of how soap makers'/artists' in general minds work!! I never get how these ideas are formed! And that just the basic idea. Let alone figuring out how to actually DO the danged thing! The layering, twisting the cutting..... NOPE! This person's brain just does NOT work in those dimentions!! Thank you for sharing these beauties!!!🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@IDreamInSoap]

That's so kind of you to say Alexandra W, thank you so much 😊

[@lynnhavinga9666]

Hi Lisa, I recently did a soap making course before coming across your videos! It was nothing compared to your videos as it's so much more information and more detailed. Thanks you for your fun and cheerful manner of teaching and you really make my day after watching one of your videos😂😊💖👍

[@IDreamInSoap]

Wow, thank you, I'm so pleased.

Lovely just lovely!!! I am not a fan of pink at all my favorite color is the color of your cabinets in the beginning of your video but I really love what you did with those 3 colors. And your art work was just amazing. I love the way you think outside the box.

[@IDreamInSoap]

Ooh yes I love a good old bright lime green, I remember when we were doing our kitchen it was so hard to get the colour we wanted, people just gave us weird looks, so we had to get the doors etc specially made

[@handeedandeescrapper]

@@IDreamInSoap I know what you mean about the weird looks. I special ordered a soap cutter lime green but it arrived looking like a Christmas green. Not exactly what I wanted but I think it will cut soap no problem.

[@elisejegou-barr6971]

This is just lovely to look at, I'm wondering if I would want to use this soap for fear of losing the 3d design. It would probably sit on my shelf and look pretty!

[@kezzaobee1462]

I agree, too pretty to use...show piece for sure.

[@IDreamInSoap]

AW thanks so much. Yes the design will eventually wear off, which is why I typically like to make soap where the design goes all the way through the bar. But I would hope the whole bar is still very pretty even without the abstract part.

How did you come up with this design?? I saw the picture of this soap and was completely stumped as to how in the world you did it. They look so neat! Absolutely an example of "abstract art" and definitely my favorite. You're so amazing, Lisa 💕

[@IDreamInSoap]

AW, thanks a lot Shonna, I'm not really sure. We had to avoid making real things, which I struggle with, as you know me I like a little 'scene' in a soap, but I did want the abstract to work with the bar rather than just be something separate on top.

[@jcortese3300]

I wonder if you could let the dough set up even more firmly, and then make really smooth gradients with a pasta machine the way the fimo clay artists do?

[@IDreamInSoap]

Yes, you probably could do that, for the challenge soap dough wasn't allowed and the soap still had to be spreadable, but outside the rules of the challenge you could certainly give it a go

@@IDreamInSoap I want to start making soaps. I’ve never done it before and do not have any experience about oils in the process of saponification.
