🧼🫧Soap Challenge Club Dustpan pour | cold process soap making 🫧🧼

The Soap Challenge Club for January 2022 challenged us to make a cold process soap by pouring our design from a dustpan. This is my first attempt at the technique, not my actual entry soap, which will be coming up shortly. This is a technique used in acrylic pouring where they can get some amazing results.

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.

They are groovy for sure but, I'm in your camp on this Lisa. I like to see the design through the entire soap. That black and white had me mesmerized while you were pouring it LOL! Thank you for another fantastic video !! 💛

[@IDreamInSoap]

Yes as you know, all they way through is best for me, but good to try new thingd

[@CheekyGoatSoapery]

Oh! How fun! I didn’t know which one was yours but this was really fun to see!! ❤🎉

[@IDreamInSoap]

Hey Honey, thanks so much. I'm still not keen though

[@beckhill6642]

Ooh was definitely interesting to watch! The interesting technique you used on the "canvas" will still give interest as the bar is used. Can't wait to see the "second try". Thanks for sharing!! 😊

[@IDreamInSoap]

Hey Beck, thanks so much ❤️

[@magbr45]

Dear Lisa, I find this a very fun technique and I will definitely try it! I think you can do lots of different designs, and I really like yours, but then I always love your soaps! I do get what you mean though with the design not going the whole way through, but maybe one can do the dustpan pour on top of eachother so there are different designs as you use the soap. Looking forward to watching your other video, and thank you again for a great teaching video🙏❤️

[@IDreamInSoap]

Hey Mag yes I think layers would work a bit like when I did them with the kiss pour and it gives quite a good affect

Very cool! Who would have thought? I appreciated hearing your thoughts at the end and that you prefer designs going all the way through the soap.

[@IDreamInSoap]

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

[@saneminotaur]

I love this design; but I see what you mean about a design not going all the way through, vs. one that does go all the way through. I actually don't use your soaps for cleaning my hands; they are on my mantlepiece where I can see them every day! Can't wait to see what you do next, you are so talented and creative!

[@IDreamInSoap]

Thank you so much Sophia G, that's very kind of you.

[@Traditional_Soaping]

Wow... It's like looking at a piece of graphic art! I watched your video, wondering what images you would create using a dustpan! Black and white contrasting with the colors of the rainbow also look really cool!❤

[@IDreamInSoap]

Thanks, quite tricky to do.

[@rlax7141]

It is interesting and your soap look great. But, I am glad you said that you don't really care for a soap that has the design only on the top and doesn't go through the entire bar. This is what I was thinking as you were making this design challenge. Then that made me think about your four seasons soap that changed as the soap was used--so fabulous. I won't be cleaning my dustpan to try this design.

[@IDreamInSoap]

Yes, I'm never a fan of surface only designs, but hopefully the soap underneath is cool too

[@r.durante528]

Those are really fun. I love them.

[@tara6777]

Lisa, you did a great job; so fun to watch. This was extra special for me! I recently took a break from soaping and got into...acrylic pouring! (I just mixed a batch of pouring medium) I haven't tried this technique yet, but it's on my list.

[@IDreamInSoap]

Ooh it sounds perfect for you and it would be fascinating to hear from someone who tries it in both mediums, paint and soap

[@aagie9097]

Pretty far out! I even like how you did the four colors with white inserted throughout using the ketchup squeeze bottle. I understand how it isn't your favorite method of making a soap design but it is nice to see something completely different every once in a while. You accepted the soap club challenge and you pulled it off beautifully!

[@IDreamInSoap]

Thanks Aagie, it was a head scratcher! 😀

[@karenMQSoapery]

That’s so cool another great soap good job

[@IDreamInSoap]

Thank you for the lovely comment Karen 😘

[@hartlecut]

I absolutely agree with your conclusions! I like to see designs go right through the soap too, and not be just on the top. Plus, it's a lot of faffing. Haha. But you got some very interesting looking soaps out of it, so well done you. I love to see people push the creative boundaries. ❤️

Oh, I really love it!!! I haven’t watched one of your videos in a long time I’m sorry, not you just me and life.

[@musicthatmadeus946]

Just a thought…I know it would be a long process but how about layering the soap so that a unique pattern builds up through out the bar, that way, the more it’s used the more it changes. None the less, loved what you did with the pattern and how it came out :)

[@RachaelLink]

It was the soap challenge so she had to follow the rules for it. Otherwise she probably would have done that all the way through. 😃

[@IDreamInSoap]

You could do that, I did that sort of thing with the kiss pour and it gives quite a good effect

[@sushiinparis9906]

Nice soap … I’m with you not sure about this … but I’m going to have a go at doing layers …. Similar to the kiss pour soap you made ….. I like designs all through too . Thanks for sharing 🧼🧼🐝

[@melissapeterson4202]

I can't believe it! You and I had a similar design idea! I did black and white then every once in a while I dropped in a color. I'm trying to figure out how to do a KZbin video, because I videoed my first pour. I thought it was a fun technique. My second try was fun too, but I drew stars and threw blotches of white to look like the galaxy. But when I poured it none of that came out! Hahahaha I'm hoping as I use the soap more pictures will come out. Interesting to see. Thanks for the video!

[@IDreamInSoap]

Ooh that sounds very cool, it will be interesting to see if the designs change as they're used

[@KimClark-1]

I wonder what a multilayered soap with each layer a dustpan technique would look like. Reminds me of your kiss pour soap sort of. I love that technique of yours. My attempts at that design never got as good as yours, but I love how each layer reveals a cool design as the bar is used.

[@IDreamInSoap]

Yes I think you could do it like the kiss pour but then the dustpan is probably just an extra thing to wash uop

[@KimClark-1]

@@IDreamInSoap Funny! What I meant was using the dustpan pour for one layer, letting that layer firm up, then adding another dustpan layer with maybe a different design or color scheme. I was referring to your five layer kiss pour soap that used different colors and a slightly different pour each time. But with the dustpan pour you can do different designs and slide those off beautifully on each layer. Designs really different than kiss pour allows. Anyway, a fun idea and always a joy to watch your amazing work!

[@Goodbrod]

I'm amazed with how long you have to work with your batter.

[@IDreamInSoap]

I do get a good while with my recipe, but I'm always very careful with temperature and blending

[@kalieris]

They look a bit like geodes! I personally like how they turned out. I wonder how this technique would work in a 4 layer soap? Maybe too fiddly and lengthy to make it practicable, but would give designs all the way through.

[@IDreamInSoap]

Thanks a lot, yes I think it would work as layers. I did a similar thing with the kiss pour and it gives a good effect all the way through anv nice layers at the side

I have a technique that I came up with that's my own. It's the blue pop technique took from an acrylic pour with my own twist on it but it's really cool because it actually ends up looking like roses when you're done. Which I've always wanted to share however with the help and we happen to have my 12th surgery and all of that and living in my van for 3 months during the winter I'm having to sell basically all of my tools Butters oils everything is brand new hasn't even been to that in the box on most of the things and KZbin equipment computer's, you name it you can open up your own brick-and-mortar Spa cosmetic candle making shop with what I have to sell. Molds fragrances everything so top quality bought from some of the best cosmetic. Unfortunately I don't know or I'm not experienced enough to know where to go to let people know and show the pictures of everything I have it's all my cloud. And I have very very limited time to sell them whatever it's really not even about the money. I just want someone to be able to get it before too much time goes by you know but I'm not text savvy and I have no idea where to go to let people know how to get them if anyone knows our can let me know I would greatly appreciate it someone that might be wanting to get into soap making organic soap making or whatever that may be doesn't have the money or what not please let me know I would appreciate it thank you so much.
