Japanese Cherry Blossom Cold Process Soap - Remake of an early soap

This is a remake of my Japanese Cherry Blossom Soap - the very first soap I attempted to do piping of flowers on. I have learned so much about piping now and have really wanted to remake this soap but with daintier flowers.

Thank you 🌸 definitely more delicate than my first attempt

[@gemd2541]

@soyandshea Wow, lovely soap Keeley. Love the addition of the small leaves to break up the Cherry Blossoms, gives it an added boost to set the perfect backdrop for the flowers. Would love to see more of the layered drop swirls as I think they are great. Looking forward to next week's video. :)

[@SoyandShea]

Thank you 🌸 I've planned my next one for this pour. I really love the effect

[@mangalo-homeandbody6713]

That's such a lovely swirl! The top looks amazing and the Aussie Soap Supplies biodegradable holo glitter really topped it off 💜 I've never been a glitter on soap person until I ordered that glitter a few weeks ago and now I want to put it on every soap as it makes them look really special :)

[@SoyandShea]

Thank you 🌸 isn't that biodegradable glitter the best. I never used much glitter until I got that. Just don't put too much into actual soap or melt and pour as it can be scratchy

[@loriewilson7369]

That soap in so nice love the colors

[@SoyandShea]

Thank you 🌸 this is an Eroma fragrance

[@anonymousvon5159]

Your soaps are beautiful! How do you harden your soaps?

[@SoyandShea]

Thank you 🌸 What do you mean by harden? As they cure and dry they harden up by themselves. 😊

[@anonymousvon5159]

@@SoyandShea I am a new soap maker, and my family says my soaps are too soft. Maybe I should use salt or clay, I'm not sure what to do.

[@SoyandShea]

@@anonymousvon5159 I understand now. It could be the oil mix you are using. If you have a higher percentage of soft oils, the soaps can be a little softer. Olive oil is a soft oil but does make a hard bar.

[@anonymousvon5159]

@@SoyandShea thank you for taking time to help.

Are you still doing the monthly boxes?

Yes, the Pamper boxes are always available and I change the content at the start of each month 😊
