Soap Challenge Club January 2024 Watercolour cold process soap technique. Soap Making

This video shows how I made my cold process soap entry for the January 2024 Soap Challenge, Watercolour techniques. For the winners' category, we had to make the watercolour soap with at least 3 colour transitions and also add an embed to the surface of the soap.

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.

Such a beautiful soap! I have to admit my heart was crushing when you had to scoop your ombré out, it was such a nice pour, but the end result was lovely. Great job as always, Lisa. 🌸

[@IDreamInSoap]

I know exactly what you mean. I do like a good ombre

[@candaceford-taperek9969]

I love how you made the little palettes and brushes by hand! Such a great tie-in to the watercolour theme. I love the colours you chose as well.

[@IDreamInSoap]

That's so kind of you to say @candaceford-taperek9969, thank you so much 😊

[@gilliancoyle7332]

Oh gosh, when you started scooping the batter, it looked DELICIOUS! Forbidden Angel Delight 😭 What a beautiful soap, as always

[@IDreamInSoap]

This is a common theme! Glad you liked it. 😍

[@cheryl739]

I will be very surprised if you don't get top consideration on this one. I paint in oils and my palette and brushes definitely looks well used. 😉 You continue to amaze me with your creative imagination. Love watching! Cheers 👍🤗

[@IDreamInSoap]

That's so kind of you to say @cheryl739, thank you so much 😊

[@user-mj1iz6um1j]

Absolutely brilliant and the colours are beautiful. Always look forward to watching your videos, you take soapmaking to another level. Please don't stop

[@IDreamInSoap]

Thank you so much 😀

[@comebackarabella]

This soap is beautiful. Well done to you. The patience it would have taken to make that ombré! And I did almost cry when you had to scoop it out. I would have loved to have seen that ombré. Brilliant work!!!

[@IDreamInSoap]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@jonaclausson6698]

What a masterpiece! The win is yours (fingers are crossed).

[@IDreamInSoap]

He, he that would be lovely, thanks for your good wishes

7:27pm Ohio, usa, WOW!!!!! REALLYBeautiful. I had doubts whwpen you started scooping the batter, but the end result is amazingly like an abstract watercolor. Well done Lisa!

[@IDreamInSoap]

I know, that's quite a wild thing to have to do, especially after carefully pouring the ombre

[@71brgrqn]

Gorgeous. Great job Lisa

[@IDreamInSoap]

Thank you so much!

[@TheLesleyjones]

You are the most talented soap maker i have ever seen you are just amazing. I make soap too but i would never be in the same category as you and i dont do videos dont have the confidence lesley from ireland ❤❤❤❤

[@IDreamInSoap]

Thanks Lesley. Soaping is a journey. Stick with it. 😉

Looks like ancient marbelling Lisa, stunning love it. ❤️🧼

[@IDreamInSoap]

Thanks, glad you liked it. 😉

[@emmahowells8334]

​@@IDreamInSoapYou're welcome and I definitely did Lisa. 👍🏻😊

[@JohannaInTheCorner]

Such a beautiful and delicate colour scheme. It reminds me of the classy paper marbled end pages at the turn of the 20th century in hardback books. Always so pretty. It was a perfect soap, and tonnes of time for that cuppa! I'll be honest there were real palpertations here for the quantity of air bubbles that would form when you transferred the batter… but I should have had way more faith! These abstract soaps are perfect for those of us with smaller hands or dexterity issues. We can cut the bar in half with a clear conscious. Last week I opened a bar of Lilac Kitty I had and I can’t sepperate adult and kitten nor decapitate the pair of them 😂 Abstract soaps… no dilemma! Ps. I recognised the call back to the old days bar in your store… made me smile!

[@IDreamInSoap]

Always lovely to see you, I know what you mean about the paper. I must admit I thought there could be some bubbles, but my batter was still quite loose and I did bang it down a lot.

[@JohannaInTheCorner]

@@IDreamInSoap you sure did! I saw you giving it a good bang 💪

[@loricolwell1470]

Absolutely gorgeous!! I cringed a bit when you started scooping. Hehe, I was like all that work and you scooped it out. Looked like pudding to me. Must say though it turned out gorgeous and the little artist pallette and brushes were the perfect touch. 💕 great job Lisa

[@IDreamInSoap]

I know exactly what you mean, especially with how long the ombre took to pour

[@gwenbrown8513]

Those are absolutely amazing! I do oil painting as well as making soap so this was right up my alley!!! Unbelievable 😍

[@IDreamInSoap]

Thank you so much @gwenbrown8513, that's very kind of you.

[@CoventinaSoapery]

Oooh, what an interesting technique! Looks fab Lisa x

[@IDreamInSoap]

Thanks so much 😊

[@hartlecut]

That technique (fiddly though it is) makes such lovely bars of soap! You executed it beautifully! I know it was part of the Challenge and not your own plan, but I think that embeds don't contribute anything to the design - if I were making this design for myself I'd leave embeds off entirely. Nonetheless, you made yours perfectly, and I love your soap.

[@IDreamInSoap]

Thanks so much, yes I agree about the embeds, it took me a long time to come up with something that 'went' with the bars, I think the bars on their own are just fine

[@mellisafan4470]

I love these so much! So beautiful ✨

[@IDreamInSoap]

Thank you so much.

[@vernahrris5601]

Very pretty, Lisa. I think I may try this design...maybe make it look like a mountain sunset scene with some bears and a tree walking through (MP) for me because I am not in a contest! Always beautiful and so thoughtfully thought out. (Shades of Austen!)

[@IDreamInSoap]

Great idea!!

[@kimmaxwell3264]

Oh WOW!!! SO BEautiful!! I work with Melt and Pour and am going to try and make this soap!!! Wish me LUCK:)

Goodness, how pretty! Fabulous colours they you chose to work with. I was thinking, "What an odd technique!" While you were scooping it out of one mold and into the other... but wow! Absolutely gorgeous result. Love your little sculpted art set on top too. Another stunning soap! 😊

[@IDreamInSoap]

Good news. This one was a bit of a head scratcher, but it came out well.

I’m loving this soap, it’s so creative 🩷

[@IDreamInSoap]

Hey Cindy, I hope you're well, always lovely to see you.

[@reneehebert6986]

Your added embeds are perfect. (Well, technically that is a pallet usually used for oils and acrylics and a watercolor pallet it different, but not nearly as recognizable as this kind of pallet.) The colors worked beautifully. And now I am curious of what it would have looked like if cut in the usual manner. But I wouldn't want to change this. Great job once again.

[@IDreamInSoap]

You are exactly right, I did think that as I was making them :-)

[@kasie680]

Oh Lisa I would love to spend a day making soap with you! And playing with all your soapy moulds and extruding disks! 😂😂😂

[@IDreamInSoap]

Thank you so much, so lovely to have you as a new subscriber, I hope you enjoy my videos

[@AndiNewtonian]

As a watercolorist, I love the loose, expressive style of this soap! It's very evocative of that style of watercolor painting (which I struggle with myself). The brushes are a wonderful touch! And I won't even tease you too much for using an acrylic/oil painting palette. 😉😜🥰 Seriously, though, this is a beautiful soap that's got me tempted to place another order even though I've still got several bars left from my last one!

[@IDreamInSoap]

Aw thank you Andi, he, he yes I was aware my palette was technically wrong, and ooh I can cope with teasing - it's OK :-)

[@ingajohannsdottir1180]

Lovely soap, beautyful colour choice! Have you done any watercolouring outside of soapmaking? (Yes, I am teasing you for making oil painting tools😉) This could be a very interesting tecnique to make a coloured backdrop for some embeds in a soap, something like a sunrise sky behind a silhuette of some pine trees on a hill... It would pribably have to be made 'upside down' so the sky can be glooped in, then tree embeds pushed into that and the ground poured over the top... (sorry, my inner nerd ran with this😅)

[@IDreamInSoap]

I did some watercolour one on holiday in the Norfolk Broads - enjoyable. Good ideas there. Give 'em a go yourself! 😉👍

[@ingajohannsdottir1180]

@@IDreamInSoap I don't think I will ever make more soap, I had one of the first strings of covid-19 and now my brain just turns to mush whenever there is too much scent in the air - I can't even use public transport because of perfumes etc - But, I really enjoy watching you create - your videos are my weekly seratonin boost❤️
