Melt and Pour, Blue Mica Wave, Ocean Fragrance

[@PlatnumEnt]

White swirl would def make it pop

[@kitzcat]

And call me strange, but I love peeling the m&p out of the measuring cup after a pour. I just ball it up and use it myself.

[@DeanWilson]

Yes, I like that too.

[@patriciamcdaniel3162]

No white layer, great as it is!

[@paine999]

I love the colors. Im bad at cutting too!! Lol.

[@deurbanscents2561]

It looks like there’s mica line in between. Very nice. Thanks Dean.

[@kitzcat]

I love the way these turned out. I think a white swirl would detract from the beauty, but that's my personal opinion. May I suggest you get/build a mitre box? I had one that could double as a small loaf mold, but it made cutting a lot easier to get straight. Unfortunately I loaned it to my sister in law and didn't get it back.

[@angelaszul9662]

I love this! I think it’s a perfect gradient! The ten drops was exactly what it needed.

[@moyralouise7123]

They look beautiful, but a swirl would be interesting to see too 😊

[@wumpscutfenlon3107]

As for cutting I mark the top and one side,that way I can keep my eye on the blade all the way down the side as I cut,works a treat for me! Was getting so fed up of ruining a good loaf with horrendous cuts 😂

[@Jstdine]

wumpscut Fenlon great idea!!!

[@paigescorpion7946]

It looks great as is but I also think it would be good with a thin white layer between each color & on top.

[@Naturalsoaprecipes]

I worked at Eroma here in Melbourne for a while. I Think I spent my wages on fragrances 🤷 love the soap design xx

[@DeanWilson]

Oh wow! Thanks so much :)

[@MyssahLee]

Hi Dean! I would suggest adding just a thin layer of white goats milk in between each wave. Not exactly a swirl but just a little more contrast? :)

[@kitzcat]

Myssah Lee - I thought that very thing myself. It would emphasize the sections.

[@DeanWilson]

Thanks for the tip! I had thought of that at the end of the video but if I added the white layer I would have to make it the same temp as the color layer so I could use my finger to make the wave. very complex it would seem.

[@MyssahLee]

@@DeanWilson Hmmm...good point. What if we brush or drizzle it on? Or maybe place say, a quarter inch of white soap on the short ends of the mold and tilt the mold so the white soap barely covers? Just some ideas but I think I want to experiment. I have a silicone loaf mold and about 4 pounds of aloe and olive clear soap and some three butter. As soon as I get done filming my art videos, I'll do some soap ones.

[@DeanWilson]

Sounds good. Can you show me once your done? My email is in my about page.

[@MyssahLee]

@@DeanWilson if it's alright with you, I'd like to link your original video and your channel in my community page as well as on the video itself 🙂 After all, I'd not have even thought of it if not for you 💖

[@tanyabonnett4174]

I like this soap as it is but a small amount of white may have given that white wash you see on top or within a wave. I think although this soap is beautiful I would have live to see your picture you have in your head in a CP soap to get those curves and curls.

[@DeanWilson]

Yes, in CP I think I could get those lines more of a wave with a mica line.

[@pythonmom]

Love it!

[@carlynbarrow7967]

Dean, as much as I've enjoyed your cp videos, I'm thrilled to see you back in m&p.

[@DeanWilson]

Thank you. More to come! I also have some CP videos to upload while im making more M&P.

[@MahoganyHues]

Carlyn Barrow Me too!!!! Keep it up Dean, M&P Sensei.

[@kathyeddy2563]

I’m very new to melt and pour and I think I have watched 2dozen of your videos. Love them. When you pour this soap what degree is each layered pored at. Thanks

[@DeanWilson]

I think it was 130F or slightly more. I wanted it to slightly melt the layer under it and bond.

[@justinharmon2385]

Are you in isolation atm? Or quarantine atm? Qld is getting crazy!!!!! Have you yet to try to make your own melt and pour yet?

[@DeanWilson]

I think we can only go out to the supermarket and work (if you still have a job). Beaches are closed from what I hear. So im just staying at home. I work from home and im an Introvert, so im ok with it.

[@justinharmon2385]

Dean Wilson we can have gathering but social distancing. 3 people at a time. Wedding and funeral are 3 people only. They are getting harsh in qld cause people are having parties and stuff and that’s a $13000 fine. Parks are closed but I haven’t heard beaches are. I believe they are but social distancing is being inforced bad there by police. Can’t go into nsw but apparently they is a section near Gold Coast where it’s open and people are... but if we do full lockdown and closes business aka state of emergency only stores like woollies and doctors and gas station and such will be opening. My work will stay open. We are not in public area. We are in a wearhouse and only 3 people work. No contact with public only Australia post 1 time a day. All of our order are done online. So we’re not essential but because we are isolated and no contact with public only via phone and online and 3 people there at max business can remain open.... feeeeeeewie

[@justinharmon2385]

I just have to be little extra careful cause I have lupus... autoimmune disease that hereditary so they keeping me safe. But if ya get it ya get it... I’m nothing you can do about it really

[@rrutaba]

Plz mention the qty each in the display or in your description box

[@DeanWilson]

Its in the description. 366 grams per layer.

[@makomaker3529]

I love your soap but I too have the same issue. My soap cutting is as bad as yours lol. But oh well still works the same.

[@DeanWilson]

It just means a few people get a little more soap then others :)

[@neeners4266]

I like the colors in this one. I bet if you did the bubble technique that you did in the other video, that would look cool, too. I have a question about the color in general - so today I finally tried to make my first melt and pour soaps. I saw another video where you mixed the liquid color with some rubbing alcohol in a little cup. I tried to do that, but it literally looked like oil and water when I put the two together. I ended up just adding the color directly to the soap without pre-mixing it. Any idea why the liquid color and the rubbing alcohol would behave like that? Thanks for your help! I fear my first soap literally looks like Dial. LMAO. It's OK, though. Gotta start somewhere :)

[@DeanWilson]

Yes, bubbles in this dedign might be nice but only on the top otherwise the layers might come apart. You don't need to mix liquid color with rubbing alcohol. Only mica with rubbing alcohol. Liquid dye goes directly into the soap base.

[@DalyCaves0807]

I liked the end result but would def like to see a white swirl...btw I am enjoying your videos very much especially M&P vids. 👍🏼

[@DeanWilson]

Awesome! Thank you very much :)

[@patriciadalton9725]

Beautiful! I am going to try this today! It matters not that the cutting measurements are not quite accurate when the soap is so lovely! You are still THE BEST😊👏❤️

[@DeanWilson]

Thanks so much :)

[@coffeemom6838]

I want to see a mica color or glitter line between each color

[@michelleorchard5611]

I enjoyed watching and learning your soaps I think they look fabulous are they are i am just a beginner haven’t got that far thanks for sharing I’m from New Zealand

[@DeanWilson]

Thank you so much!

[@hummingbirdharmonyusa]

Nooooo! White is over done. Yours is PERFECT! I would not change a thing.

[@DeanWilson]

Thanks so much :)

[@ceejones551]

I am kind of comforted by the fact that you can't cut very well either. I struggle badly with cutting. Even with a cutting box I still mess it up

[@DeanWilson]

Yes, im just a normal man :) lol

[@ChillingWithMel22]

I would’ve loved to of seen a Mica line in between the different colors that would’ve looked cool too but definitely love the soap you made!!

[@DeanWilson]

Thanks, im not even sure that possible with Melt and Pour soap base.

[@susanjohnston1004]

What about adding a thin white line in between each layer, or a gold or silver mica line for contrast to set off the layers. Just an idea. Thanks for your videos.

[@DeanWilson]

That's a great idea! I will try that soon

[@melanieanadon9809]

Love your melt and pour videos!!! Sooo helpful, and your soaps are gorgeous!!!!

[@DeanWilson]

Thank you so much!

[@Fridskan]

If you spray the little mica-cup with RA you would get more of the mica out and have less waste.

[@DeanWilson]

Its such a small amount it was not needed.

[@cathyanndrakes5722]

Yes I would like to see a little white swirl

[@lindapiccotti3311]

I like the way the "water" looks without the white. Perhaps a little bit of white swirl on top? Either way they're very pretty.

[@DeanWilson]

Yes, I agree.

[@SharlanOwens]

I like the way you did it. Although, it would have been nice to see a comparison one with the white added.

[@DeanWilson]

Great suggestion!

[@traceykilgore5105]

It's very nice I love your mp soaps n love your videos but maybe u should try a nice mica line next time

[@DeanWilson]

Thank you, I will

[@camelotfarm6074]

Until you decide to get a mitre box, double handled knife or other cutter, just turning the soap on it's side for cutting can help keep the bars more even. 😉

[@sandrajackson8986]

Gold mica line would look good too

[@74Rockme]

Absolutely gorgeous!!

[@taniaescobar1960]

[@margotschellenger3966]

The white swirl would give it more of a wave look, looks great

[@southerncrs]

Rocking up a bit late to the party. But. I like this as is for a calming, rolling ocean feel. If you add white maybe think about a brisk ocean scent to reflect the refreshing and cooling spray/ wave?

[@karenbee1898]

All of your soaps are an inspiration.

[@DeanWilson]

Thank you Karen

[@shreyachakraborty6326]

Making this bar right now with a different fragrance and finding that making waves is easier when the soap is still liquid under the thick skin and then letting it settle straight rather than tilted

[@DeanWilson]

yes, I agree. Hope it goes well for you.

[@TheSoapflake]

I think a line of white on one side on top then blown over the surface with a straw would be interesting. The top is where you see your white caps, and this reminds me of the ocean.

[@lozbob3824]

Yes I think a swirl would have looked beautiful x Still nice as they are though x Oh cutting it’s the bane of my life, I cannot cut straight, I have tried cutters and various knives and I still can’t get them even 😬 xx

[@sueeverall1368]

I agree with Loz Bob - they look fab as they are, but a white swirl maybe in the top green layer would also look cool 😁

Hi Dean, just found your channel and delighted your using M&P. Love this color comboand I think white would make the othere colors pop! I am new to soap making and I would like to sell at markets. I will use pure essentials oils, is it still 2% of soap weight ? I made a few samples for myself and they are sweating, ( fine for me but not a great look if your selling!!) any tips, would be greatly appreciated, thanks for sharing

[@DeanWilson]

Hi, Welcome to soap crafting with melt and pour. I have only ever used Fragrance oils with my soaps. Melt and Pour soap base will sweat. Most of the time when its exposed to air and their is moisture in the air. Maybe try a different supplier.

[@gailclayton9931]

I think the white swirl would look good near the top of the soap making it more like a breaking wave. love the colours.
