Kaleidoscope soap on a rope for the Soap Challenge Club, cold processed soap.

This is how I made my entry for the October 2023 Soap Challenge. It's a really busy time at the moment, so I wasn't going to take part this month. My initial plan was to just do the Kaleidoscope part of the soap for a video, but then I ended up doing the whole thing.

Although my cold process soap making tutorials are of a tutorial nature, they are intended for people who have a good understanding of making cold process soap. The information given is based on what works for me, however, there are lots of variables associated with cold process soap making and I, therefore, take no responsibility for the results achieved when using the techniques or methods explained in these tutorials. Cold process soap involves the necessary use of sodium Hydroxide (lye) which is a very dangerous substance. Before attempting and cold process soap making you should ensure you are fully aware of the lye safety procedures and always wear the correct safety equipment when making soap.

You’re incredible! I laughed when you said you may enter it into the bonus round and you ended up as one of the winners. I didn’t have time to try this month’s challenge and after watching how much work is involved, I wouldn’t have been able to do it in time. I admire how everything you do is excellent! I strive to get to your level one day.

[@EllenRuthSoap]

These are adorable❣

[@shaydelady1508]

Those are FANTASTIC!!!! I bet a lot of people would hang them on their tree especially if it has a Christmas type fragrance to it! GREAT job as always, Lisa! BRAVO!!!

[@IDreamInSoap]

Thanks so much.

[@dalaillamathepctme6957]

Absolutely stunning soaps, Lisa! I bet you'll have no problem selling them. You really might consider making them a part of your regular inventory -- they're that nice! Thanks for the great tutorial and inspiration!

(22:19) Finally! The rope I've been worried about for twenty minutes! They are adorable Lisa, job well done 🎉

[@IDreamInSoap]

😄😍

[@katelillo1932]

They came out beautifully! I loved them just as slices, also; they looked like psychedelic lemon slices or something. This is way more fiddly than I have the patience for, but i thoroughly enjoyed watching you make them!

[@IDreamInSoap]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@kalieris]

Those came out so pretty! I love the colors, and how delicate and varied the pattern became. I probably wouldn’t use them as tree ornaments, but I would absolutely hang them up to scent a space.

[@IDreamInSoap]

Thanks so much, yes that would be good for a while

[@wantingsulax]

They are gorgeous and perfectly executed. I love the purple pink with the shade of green that you picked with the green ribbon! Using a bath bomb press is such a smart way to ensure that they are all perfectly round.

[@IDreamInSoap]

Glad you liked it. 😉

[@beckhill6642]

Wow! They came out absolutely gorgeous! Although they probably wouldn't get hung on a tree, they miggt get hung in a shower! They are a brilliant! Lots of faffing so probably not worth making a heap, but in a gift box of 3 in Xmas colours - they'd be a brilliant gift. Thanks so much for sharing!! 😊

[@IDreamInSoap]

Love the Christmas tree balls!! Use a christmas fragrance, the tree would smell wonderful. I really like that technique. Thanks for sharing your talents with us!❤😊

Hi Lisa 👋🏼 I’ve known about your channel for a good while now, but have only really just started watching your videos properly this evening. Can I just say, wow! You are one of the most talented soap makers I have personally come across, and on top of that, you are so open and helpful with information on soap, and also the processes in making it. You have a really excellent teaching manner, keeping it nice and simple to understand, but without leaving any info out. That was all I wanted to say really! Well, that along with thank you! I’m a new soap maker, so these videos are so unbelievably helpful, and very enjoyable to watch indeed. Now that I’m really getting into soap making, i’m sure I will be watching much more regularly, so have now subscribed. So thank you again for taking the time to make these videos, and teaching us what you know! I hope you have a lovely week, and look forward to watching more!

[@IDreamInSoap]

So beautiful!! I think this is the first time I have ever seen you make a sphere soap? I love the Cylindrical ones you make sometimes, always cool to see the different techniques and challenges different soap shapes have! With the lovely ribbon these soaps look just like fancy christmas ornaments. I can imagine them hanging on a bright and shiny tree! ☺️

[@IDreamInSoap]

[@JohannaInTheCorner]

The sadist in me hoped the bauble alignment escapades were recorded as some sort of hapless TaskMaster-style activity, but truth be known it feels like the whole bauble was a faffing task. The final results are beautiful, and I am surprised you got to double figures, but the results are worth it for sure! Thank you Lisa.

[@IDreamInSoap]

Ooh yes, the whole thing was a huge faff. I was tempted to take a photo of the photo set up. I had my overhead recording rig, with a tripod hanging down between it, that had a coat hanger hanging off of it, the balls were then tied to the coat hanger (much faffing to get them all at the same height. Then the ribbons had to be taped to try to get them facing the right way.

[@aeon-2]

[@AndiNewtonian]

Those are so pretty! I love how they turned out. I can totally imagine them on a Christmas tree. In fact, I'm trying to figure out how I could make something like this with Sculpey for Christmas (or Halloween!) ornaments. Okay, now, tell me more about this pickle strainer thing! Is this something that comes with jars of pickles you get at the store in the UK? Or something you use when you're making pickles yourself? Chad watched the video with me, and when you popped up the picture of that, we were both like, "WHAT?! Is that a thing in the UK? WHY DON'T WE HAVE THIS HERE IN THE US?!?!" 🤯🤯🤯

[@AVisionInFur]

Same-the strainer thingy looks so much tidier to get gherkins or olives than grabbing a fork and going spear fishing. 😂

[@AndiNewtonian]

@@AVisionInFur Exactly!

[@IDreamInSoap]

It comes in the jar - no all brands, have a look next time you're buying them, it's like an upside down umbrella with holes in. It goes in 1st, then the pickles and you get the stick popping out of the top to lift the pickles out of the juice.

Sometimes I believe you must dream these soaps to come up with such fascinating and beautiful designs! However upon further reflection I think such belief discredits your amazing ingenuity and creativity!

[@teresaskerratt4842]

I'm not generally a big fan of the pull through soaps, but yours turned out amazing. Great job!

[@IDreamInSoap]

Thanks so much!

[@rlax7141]

Very cute. I really do like them but I wish that the "skin" design went all the way through. I loved the way the design was so consistent throughout the original column. As always, thank you for sharing.

[@IDreamInSoap]

Yes, I agree, not a fan of on the surface designs, but I guess if you just did the pull through as bars you would get it all the way through

I keep trying to get a pull through soap that looks like a petoskey stone. No luck thus far but I'll keep trying. I have wondered if an extruder would be a more effective method, and would be very excited if you ever gave it a shot.

[@IDreamInSoap]

Hmm, I'm not sure how an extruder would work for a 'pull through' look, it would be tricky lining everything up.
