Slanted layer soapmaking and cutting

Soap! Layered on a slant to create a fishtail effect. With gold mica lines and scented with a mix of orange, tangerine, grapefruit, kefir lime and neroli.

Love the pipette trick. Never saw that one. Cool soap!

[@HeatherBraceyHandPArtistry]

These soaps are fantastically gorgeous. I am jealous of those mica lines. thank you for sharing.

[@lamamadesfilles]

I finally had the courage to try this beautiful soap after so many years, and of it was a disaster! When I first I re-watched the video today, I didn't notice that the first layer didn't move/slide down at all when you propped up the mold on the other side. How long did you wait before pouring subsequent layers? Thank you!

If I could like it twice for u and yr daughter I would! The soap came out so lovely, and u should be so proud they are very talented! Fantastic music...much luck to u both

OMG this is so beautiful. I was searching for slanted soap and you came up I loved it. May i ask one question how long did you wait between layers. And your daughter is very talented..

[@SoapyOaksFarm]

That is quite impressive and must require a lot of patience. I hope to try that myself sometime. thanks so much for the inspiration.

This soap is incredibly beautiful and clean made. Also from the beginning of the video i was wondering what band is played in the background, your child is very talented!

[@waynegross2113]

Ut of all the designs, I personally find this one to be the most difficult to get right! Watching this did help. Really enjoying your videos. Jill Gross

[@toot3437]

I like how you use the dropper to blow on the layers

[@GodzHarleyGirlStudio]

Girl, you've definitely got the talent for art and soaping!! I LOVE this soap! Simply incredible, stunning, gorgeous, stylish, I could keep going!! Where did you get your stick blender, what brand? Your soap looks like a nice size, what are the l/w/h of them? Mine are too small, 3/2/1, I've GOT to change it, not happy with my size. Thank you for sharing this with us!! Hugz, Tree

[@nocturnessavons2752]

il est magnifique bravo

[@marjoriepitzer4453]

Katie Carson turned me on to you and I love you videos, and of course, your soap!! Do you mix each layer separately? I would think you would have to. I can't wait to try this technique. So excited!! Thanks for all you do!!

[@michael7324]

Hi, I’m no expert but I have done a pour similar to this and I did make essentially four different batches of soap.

[@hannasaxton840]

Liked for the song, idk why it is but its a perfect working song when your working with candle wax

[@rdc197810]

I wish there was a tutorial on this soap. I've tried it like three times so far and I can do the layers, but I think I get the angle of the risers wrong and I may pour too much soap for the first layer, which messes everything up. I feel like the height may change between the first pour and the second, and the second and third are the same, the fourth is slightly lower and the fifth is level. I also think I must use different colors. I keep hoping to do a candy cane pattern and without the mica lines (because I fail at those) it just looks like a weird M. I wouldn't want your recipe, because I know those are near and dear to a soapers heart, but boy, I would surely pay you for a tutorial because honestly, I've spent so much money trying to make this method work! LOL. Either way. I will try again, and hopefully will succeed! Also, yes that song is perfect, its a fantastic ear worm!

[@tens7238]

😍😍😍 I want to bite it for some strange reason! Love your soaps and videos.

[@Soapish]

C R haha.. I get it! Thanks 😊

[@mpshilpa]

Yeah me too..it looked so delicious ;-)

[@soapsblyslyo1379]

Great music - Congrats to your daughter...got her talent from her mom!! Beautiful video....I am always afraid to do mica lines - that the soap will break apart. Has that ever happened to you? Great idea to use the pipette to evenly distribute the mica - thanks for that tip!! Did you mix up your scent? Can you recommend a Tangerine that sticks? I haven't found one. Thank you so much for the wonderful video! Sly

[@Soapish]

SoapsblySly O I have had that happen once. I waited until the soap had set too long and I sprinkled the mica too thick. I think the trick is to sprinkle when the soap is very wet and if in doubt, give the mica a fine spritz of alcohol before pouring the next layer.

[@frithar]

@@Soapish I've heard people mention alcohol before, but no one ever said if it's rubbing alcohol or drinking alcohol. Which is right?

[@caezararthemis5858]

what sheed that you'd putted on top of your soap?

[@katarzyna_p]

I have watched the video and think "what's great music", then I chaked in description and thats your's daughter, congrats. Can I listen them somewhere? Beautiful soap, great colors and this simple idea with mica, i love your soaps. Thank you for sharing with us your knowledge and ideas :)

[@Soapish]

K. Zawadzia thank you! The link to their music is on their Instagram profile. @Submediocre or on twitter @submediocremusic I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@katarzyna_p]

Thanks!

[@suzzette1980]

Didnt know you could do that with HP soap. So many questions. How long do you have to wait before applying the next layer? And how do you know your curing time?

[@lethiapage4767]

I've done this before with MP. It's really a striking bar. Nice job. I also like your music choices. If you didn't list below (haven't checked) would you please identify the music?

[@tashah1249]

I love this!! So beautiful, I am new to soap making but I’m wondering how long did you let it set in between each layer? It looked really set each time you turned it. I’d love to try but I don’t want to be inpatient if I have to wait for each layer to set and ruin it. I get so excited lol

[@rdc197810]

I've tried the design, and while I have failed at the overall look (I need to be more careful of the height of my risers and using different colors I think), I was able to create the layers without breaking through to the layer below. I waited ten minutes between layers. So I'd stick blend the batter to light trace, pour it in, set a ten minute timer, wash the stuff I'd need to mix the next layer and after ten minutes mix the next layer to light trace, turn the mold and pour it. You can lightly kinda poke the soap batter and if your finger comes out with batter on it, its not set yet. When its set, the soap batter also gets kind of a more matte look.

[@jenleduc5494]

Im.guessing you allow curing in between? Do you make small batches eavh time for each layer?

[@homeschoolmom7519]

beautiful!! Did you add the lye to each color separately right before pouring like you did with the gray striped bars?

[@Soapish]

homeschool mom thanks! No, with this batch I mixed the oil and lye in one batch and separated off a portion for each color.

[@bigworld3025]

@@Soapish how do u make sure the remaining lye solution+ oil doesn't harden while you wait for each layer to harden?

[@joyaacio2263]

What makes the soap harden quickly after pouring on the mold?

[@kittengrrl]

How long does each layer sit before adding the next layer?

[@Soapish]

Caitlin Thompson it absolutely depends on the fragrance and the soap recipe. You have to judge for yourself. Give the mold a jiggle, the soap shouldn't move before pouring another layer. I try to use a fragrance that accelerates just a bit so that I'm not sitting there for two hours waiting for soap to set. If I have to wait longer than 5-10 minutes between layers, that's too long for me. Hope that helps!

[@gainedinthegarden3925]

@@Soapish hi, so are you making another batter while you're waiting for each layer to dry each time? or do you make it all at once, doesn't it harden up? hope my comment wasn't confusing... Ty

[@ashleybinford5657]

@@gainedinthegarden3925 this is what I need to know. Cause aren't the left over bits hardening. I'm so confused.

[@gainedinthegarden3925]

@@ashleybinford5657 well I figured it out!! The layer has to set before you can put the second layer, or third so on and so forth. So while the layers in between are drying make your next batch and carefully spoon it over.. that's what I've done and it's worked out well hope this helps.😊

[@ashleybinford5657]

@@gainedinthegarden3925 ok so I have two layers down I had a thin trace i thought would thicken too fast to pour well but I could have gone longer mixing so it sets even faster. My first two layers kind of have mud slide effects Hahahah but the bar will be called Purple Mountain Majesty with shades of purple and lavender. Adding three more layers today to finish it. I just made 1/4 a batch of soap at a time.

[@littleladiessoapery8489]

whats the brown pwdr blown? and you making super hard bar if its setting in minites i am assuming?

[@rdc197810]

Its the gold mica she uses to make the mica lines. The soap maker indicated that she mixed the entire batch at once so I assume she used a slow moving recipe and maybe stick blended each layer or split and whisked each layer to get it a little thicker for each pour. As long as you get a soap batter to emulsion it will move through the stages of trace, EVENTUALLY. A slow moving recipe will take longer and a fast moving recipe with harder oils will take a shorter amount of time, but once a soap hits emulsion it will go through the stages of trace.

Hey, what which powder you sparkle on it

hey..you work really is absolutely breathtaking. Just fell in love with them. I am from India and wanna learn this too. Can you please help teach me about the ingredients as well. I have absolutely no idea about this. please please please ..😘😘😘

[@Soapish]

Kanchan Munjal hi there! There are many recipes for soap online soapqueen.com or soaping101 are great places to start. I don't give out recipes because I believe soapmaking is something that one should really invest time in learning properly before doing. Hope that helps :)

[@kanchanmunjal8568]

yes indeed ... thankyou so much ☺☺

[@Kariencksaunders]

For someone who doesn't know how to make soap, can you say the ingredients?

[@sevdedurmus6712]

I made a slanted desing but after unmolding and cutting the pieces fell apart from each other total failure 😑

[@rdc197810]

Its hard, LOL, I did the same thing. I think the mica lines have to be super, super thin. I'm waiting to get a glitter pump so I can make the mica lines super thin.
