[@TreeMarieSoapworks]

Thanks so much, Whitney, but most of all, thank you for sharing your beautiful Ruffle Technique! You rock! 🤘❣😍

[@dcuevas24]

If there were was such a thing as mental physical therapy, this would be it. I sat and watched the whole thing, and all of a sudden I feel happy!!. 😅 This is so beautiful and it happens to be my favorite plant. Thank you Teri, for delighting us!!

[@loverlei79]

I loved even the "messed up" ones! Such beautiful bright colors!

[@TreeMarieSoapworks]

Thank you, I ended up liking them all in the end too. 😊💕

[@rachelgilbert3164]

This is hands-down my favorite crafting channel. Beautiful designs and I love how you talk about your mistakes and the learning process! 💚💙💜

[@TreeMarieSoapworks]

Aww, that is a high compliment! Thanks so much! 🥰💕💖

[@TracyD2]

You have got to be kidding me. These belong in a museum. I want to try this one day.

[@AmyWarden]

I'm loving all the different tools and methods you tried. When you have some time to just mess with the soap, you can really have a lot of fun and come up with a really great design!! Your final soap is stunning, Teri!!

[@TreeMarieSoapworks]

Thank you so much, Amy! 💗That's why I love the Soap Challenge Club. I always learn and grow and get inspired!✨ Thank you for all the work you pour into the Challenge! It is appreciated! 😘💕✨💗💖

Congratulations on your win. I am attempting August and went to see who won July. Looking at the work you put in, I am glad I didn’t try for July. Well done!

[@TreeMarieSoapworks]

Thanks so much! It was tedious, but that's fun for me. Good luck with your Peacock Swirls, Christina! 💚

Amo ver tus videos, tu trabajo es muy admirable e inspirador. Minhas gracias por compartir. Es hermoso. Saludos y abrazos desde Argentina. Thankyou so much.

[@sherylstock8687]

Your soap always looks absolutely gorgeous. You are a perfectionist so the little things bother you until you make it right, I couldn't tell there was anything wrong with the leaves that you continued to redo, but you had a vision. This design is unexpected and elegant, really beautiful. You are an expert with the pallet knife. Congratulations on winning the challenge, you deserve it.

[@mapuanakupuna3471]

Absolutely beautiful! Thank you for sharing this technique with us! I have some not so pretty bars that I may have to try this on.

[@TreeMarieSoapworks]

You're welcome! Don't we all? Lol! It takes a bit to get the hang of. If it's not working, your batter is probably not ready yet. Best of luck to you! 🥰

[@yaeltusk819]

Tree Marie is my favorite soaper! I always use your tutorials when I want to make pretty soaps- I never get close to your incredible level of artistry, but I've had some pretty good success with the drop swirl. I'd love to see a video with the confetti soap you mentioned here!

Beautiful soap but, I really wanted to shout out song #1, Tiptoe out the back”. I rewound the video just to listen to it again!

[@justlola417]

Hi materials and metallurgical engineering student here, it varies a lot but stainless steels tend to be harder than carbon steels ("mild steels", the basic carbon-iron stuff) so it's more brittle and less malleable. But that depends (like everything involving materials) in composition and fabrication methods. If you're curious as to why, basically the steel structure is like a mesh of iron (imagine a bunch of same size spheres in a repeating cubic pattern) with carbon dispersed throughout (in the empty space between the iron spheres there are smaller spheres that don't quite fit so they deform the mesh around them). Because it's deformed, it doesn't bend as easily so it's stronger (that's why steel is stronger than pure iron, why any alloy is stronger than its pure form actually). If you start putting more spheres of different sizes in the mix, start replacing some of the iron spheres with different sized ones (like chromium, the thing you add to make it stainless) or other small ones (like nitrogen, which also goes on the spaces between big mesh spheres) the mesh starts getting more and more warped, so it's harder and more difficult to bend. There are a bunch of complications involved, and different reactions that happen when you add different elements, but that's the basics of metallurgy

[@TreeMarieSoapworks]

Thank you so much for explaining! 😊

[@liveinturkey9712]

Its gorgeous 💜

[@laurenkennedy6282]

What is the tool/spatula you're using called? It's great for so many things!! You're very fun to watch!!

[@heidieverett8548]

Love how the turned out. I’m curious, did you find doing this technique worked better with wet soap or would you do this via soap dough with the same or better outcome? I’m definitely going to give this a try. Just curious what you would suggest. Thanks for all of your content and honesty. Your videos provide an inspiration and definitely techniques that I haven’t tried and want to. 😊

[@AmyMirandaBeauty]

You are extremely talented !!! xo

[@TreeMarieSoapworks]

Thanks, Amy! 😊💕

[@rrutaba]

your creativity is God Gifted. Can u plz suggest how did u keep your leftover soap batter in the syringes?

Could you have tried to steam these (like Ellen Ruth Soaps does) to make them shiny again, Terry?

[@ivanromanovych8903]

Hello. I really like your work, thank you. Please tell me what I'm doing wrong: When mixing oils with a solution (30-35 degrees Celsius), the mass thickens within a few minutes, I beat with a blender for a minute or two, I can’t make designer soap because thickens quickly. Here is my composition: Olive -200 grams, Coconut-250; Macadamia-100; Castor -100 grams; Shea 200 grams; alkali-116.41; water-280 ml., Silk 5 grams. Tried at different temperatures but all the same.
