Splash Swirl Technique, Cold Process Soap (My Experience with the November 2022 Soap Challenge)

[@AmyMirandaBeauty]

The dramatic music during the last batch was on point.. i was holding my breath to see how it will come.

[@Reimagining008]

do you know the name of the music played during the last part?

My favorite thing about your videos is how you share what you learned and what you would do differently. I also appreciate that you are effected by shiny object syndrome as well! I loved your entry, Terri! Congratulations!

[@JandWSoaps]

I’ve never seen the northern lights in person, but your entry makes me think of pictures I’ve seen of them. It’s absolutely gorgeous. Well done!

[@TenaciousWorkshop]

Yes! The northern lights is exactly what I thought of, too! I’ve only seen them once, but will never forget it. Magical, ethereal and mesmerizing…. This soap captured that! Congratulations on winning the challenge - it’s well deserved. And I enjoyed watching and learning through the five-batch process. Never give up at good enough!

[@Taylors_ridge_glamping_NC]

That's what I saw when I saw this also.. certainly would be a good name for it

[@luciamori7296]

Dear Terry I voted for your soap! It is really a wonderful bar. Many congratulations.

[@nononever3592]

I was just about to post this same thought! Fifth time's the charm!

[@TracyD2]

Aurora Borealis is on my bucket list.

[@Imprasario]

I love it when you make multiple soaps in one video using different techniques. Explaining why each technique did or didn’t turn out how you imagined is beyond helpful. Also, CONGRATULATIONS on your win! I don’t make fancy soaps (yet) but I sure love watching others do it and yours are amazing.

[@TreeMarieSoapworks]

Thank you so much!

[@bintejaskhan6067]

The last one was a stunner!! Well deserved win!! And thank you for showing all the techniques ❤ Loved it 😍

[@Traditional_Soaping]

It doesn't just stop at the technique, but I feel the real design. So, rather than being made technically, it feels really artistic because it feels like a picture is being shown. It's really beautiful!

[@Soylarimar]

Woo hoo! Can’t wait whenever I see Tree Marie in here

[@havendallaire5988]

I just love how the last one came out wow!!

[@dianehedricks7860]

I THINK THEY ALL ARE AMAZING!!!! The last one, WOWWWWW!!!!😮 I’m a new learner and I can’t figure out how to keep my soap batter thin to play with! I’m going to watch some of your past videos and maybe I will get some clues!😊

[@candaceford-taperek9969]

Such a gorgeous design, Teri! Yours was my fave, so I was happy to learn that you won! Really appreciate the video and sharing your process through the trials. Cheers!!!

[@gnomeburrito]

The mixing colors create an illusion of iridescence like you'd see in opal or abalone shells. It's such a cool design!

[@AmyWarden]

What a fascinating process!! I love the result of your final batch and how you got there. Well deserved win, Teri! Congratulations!

[@barefoot3077]

Music selections for this one made it so fun to watch.

[@Claudia-i2h]

All are fantastic, my favorites ones are the first AND last one. Thank you for sharing.

[@sherylstock8687]

CONGRATULATIONS!!!! You earned it, you did the process until you were happy with it. It is fun watching you.

[@ramonecd]

Northern lights vibe for sure! I can’t wait to give this a try! Thank you for your contribution for this inspiration .♥️

[@CA-LOVEFORJESUSCHRIST]

I love all of your Soap's, other people copy your style and don't give credit, but you have an unique way of doing yours and you always have, keep up the wonderful work.

[@kmpoon2550]

I like the last one, kind of magical

[@donnanarducci6087]

Last batch , just beautiful ! I enjoyed the video. Congratulations on your win.

[@cczahnow]

The last one definitely the BEST! Thanks for showing us all your attempts, always a learning experience.

[@denisegriffin156]

Your first batch reminded me of walking home through the corn fields at night a little bit. All batches are beautiful.

[@cockerspaniel1973]

I just subscribed to your channel, I found it from watching Katie from Royalty Soaps, it was recommended in my feed. You have the most beautiful techniques, but also, and this is not soap related, your voice is very soothing and relaxing, I have severe asthma,I have recently been very sick and have had a lot more trouble breathing and getting any sleep, even with pure oxygen and breathing treatments I panic. Your videos help me relax and get some rest.

[@dianemclean9837]

Congratulations on winning the grand prize. Fabulous design!

[@firdowskruger9896]

Congratulations, Teri. You deserved to win. Lots of love and hugs from Pretoria, South Africa 🇿🇦 ❤️

[@TreeMarieSoapworks]

Thanks so much! 💕

[@vickiraines2851]

Wow! That last one! ❤️

[@PlumCrazyHomesteader]

Just beautiful! I love that you showed us several batches in one video.

[@RedElephantAlly]

The last batch is stunning.

[@ednaleew]

Perfect music for the ending soap!!!!!! Amazing soap!!!!!!

[@sharonm8352]

This is absolutely art! Congratulations on your honors and thank you for this fantastic video!

[@kalieris]

It was very cool to see your design progress through multiple batches, especially when you took the time to go down a rabbit hole to investigate a design element you loved. I can sometimes be too mission-oriented and lose the opportunity to just play and explore. Playing and exploring, IMO, is what keeps creativity going and wards off burnout. I do think what you learned on those side quests informed your final design.

[@RTJames-gq9xg]

Oh so gorgeous! Thank you for sharing your lessons learned and why each batch is lovely and where you thought it could be edited ❤

[@TreeMarieSoapworks]

Thank you so much!💕

[@KimClark-1]

Wow! That last batch was awesome! Thanks for sharing ALL of those batches so we could learn, too.

[@Dyan_Eckert]

Excellent work! The last batch is so dramatic I love it!🖤

[@73j0d5z6]

I have to say this, you’re making the most beautiful soap design I’ve ever seen. 🖤

[@TreeMarieSoapworks]

Thanks so much 😊

[@Marilyns888]

I really liked #3 and the last one. I never would have thought about those colors for a bar of soap, but they are super beautiful!

[@maidintheusa3305]

I am 1 year into soap making and absolutely love it! I love when people feel they make a mistake (which I never do), I love your honesty, and for how many tries you did, they are all so lovely but that last one is outstanding!

[@maidintheusa3305]

I meant I never feel you make a mistake, I make plenty! Thank you for all the time you put into set up of even making the video

[@TreeMarieSoapworks]

Thank you for letting me know! Every new technique has many teaching opportunities. I love learning from my mistakes. One of my favorite things about soaping is learning why things happen and how to improve!

[@moonshadowessentialssoapsn5287]

The last one is my favorite! Gorgeous bar! Congratulations 🎊🍾🎈🎉🖤

[@rachaelmcintyre1436]

Your winning soap is GORGEOUS! Congratulations are well in order! 💜💜💜

[@nidiadoherty5405]

How neat to watch the progression of your technique to the amazing last soap. What a gorgeous design, and well deserving of the grand prize!

[@helenenjenga9000]

[@TreeMarieSoapworks]

[@bz6749]

WOW Wonderful design 🎉specially the last one ❤

[@MissMousey215]

I always look forward to your videos! If you aren’t the official queen of soap yet then we need to get your crown. 😍

[@TracyD2]

I love the victory music with making the end soap. Congratulations. I think I will try this with similar colors.

[@TreeMarieSoapworks]

Thank you! 😊

[@janetm2969]

That was sooo educational! Thank you for recording all of your missteps and learning along the way!!! 😄

[@tanyabonnett7787]

All the soap styles are fantastic, the last one is amazing it's easy to see the pull from the top and the bottom. I can see easily why you won this challenge 💜

[@robyntonkin5722]

Well done and congratulations 🎊 Thank you for your video. I love that you showed us all the different trials and how you squirreld and came back

[@emmahowells8334]

All the soaps were beautiful, but the last one was my fave, loved the black being pulled up towards the colours, loved it. 😎👌 Congrats on winning.🎉🎉🎉

[@Artzandcatz]

Thank you! Congratulations on the win ! Well deserved!!

[@kasie680]

Congratulations Terri! It looks amazing 🤩

[@CA-LOVEFORJESUSCHRIST]

Girl that scent is the best.

[@renujha2431]

Congratulations on your well deserved win! Beautiful soaps.

[@hartlecut]

Definitely liked that last swirl the best., and it deserved the win. ❤️

[@caperica]

Loved the last one. Always love your preciseness and talent.

[@AannshaJones]

That is beautiful and thank you for sharing the whole process! Did you test this one for colour of bubbles when you wash your hands with it? And are your customers happy to purchase soaps that may give dark foam? Thank you.

[@gussiegus4943]

Stunning! Thanks for showing all of the batches. Each one was beautiful, but I learned a lot from your critique of each. I also liked seeing the progression of your technique as you tested out each of your ideas. That final batch was really beautiful. Congratulations on winning the top prize.

[@denisegriffin156]

Congratulations 🎈

[@thekarret2066]

The final soap batch is so nuts; the colors are amazing. * 3*

[@iamjustducky7879]

Congratulations on your win!! Bravo 👏

Beautiful!! Congratulations!

[@MamaMia914]

The last batch is very beautiful!

[@SteadfastTrailFarm]

Congratulations!!! I've been watching a lot of the splash swirl videos and yours was my favorite! Your third soap could be a soap challenge! I thought that turned out really cool!! Thanks for sharing!!! I know it's extra work and it's appreciated!!! ~jc

[@peepla7]

The second and third one were my favorites.

[@geoffrayment7811]

Well done Terri! Beautiful soap! Cath.

That last batch, OH MAN, what a gorgeous batch! Awesome job! Also, Subscribed.

[@TreeMarieSoapworks]

[@dawn0731]

So beautiful! Thank you for sharing the entire learning process with all the different batches!

[@krissy-G-Baby]

**BEAUTIFUL VIDEO !! CONGRATULATIONS 🎊 👏........"YOU GO GIRRRLLLL !!**

[@This-Is-English]

The last one definitely looks like the northern lights! It's my favorite and seemingly the most simple.

[@mykelmikel]

They're all nice I love them you do great work I think my favorite is the last one it kind of reminds me of an oil slick with water it is really pretty and the way you did it just I didn't think it was gonna come out but lo and behold the magic worked and it is beautiful all of them are beautiful

[@TreeMarieSoapworks]

Thank you! 💕

[@alexsanderrost8186]

I like the last batch, very nice🎉🎉

[@petrolene_performancecoach]

You are persistent! Congratulations!

[@ce091568]

Love the last One. ❤🎉

[@kelwrg]

Batch 3 and the last one are my favorites.

[@TreeMarieSoapworks]

Mine too! thank you! ❣

[@ruthcowden1386]

Great video. Congratulations!

[@metaphysicalpizza]

LOVE LOVE LOVE this design. And so simple.

[@MrCbrehaut]

Thank you for all these amazing videos with all the tips you give us.

[@catherinec7509]

I love your video. Absolutely gorgeous and you don't talk all the time. I will be watching your other videos!!!!

[@SecretSquirrelFun]

Wow, that last soap was beautiful wasn’t it? As you mentioned, it was like the sunset through a stand of silhouetted trees. It also reminds me of the sky through the trees when there is a bushfire off in the distance. Either way, I’m a total sucker for a good silhouette whatever form it takes - especially natural shapes. Well done, and again congratulations on your win 🙂 Thank you for so much for sharing your process, I really appreciate it. Take care of yourself. 🙂🐿❤️🌈

[@diankartawiria6998]

Congratulations! It's a stunning design!

[@thesoapymitten]

🎉 Breathtakingly Beautiful End Soap!

[@janiedillingham3190]

Lovely soap! I'm not usually a fan of brown soap (or brown anything, really), but this soap is brilliant!

[@leannab3865]

Beautiful soap!

[@catomoose]

Congrats! I LOVE your winning bars

[@anplica]

Beautiful final pour!

[@schellsc]

Beautiful design! Love the colors on the last one they really popped!

[@ritlari1509]

wow! what a great discovery! Would you mind telling me where can I get these colorants? I see you are using liquid colorant. I've been using micas but, I am not very satisfied since they are not very intense. Thank you for sharing all your knowledge with us!

[@melissayapp3128]

Looks amazing!

[@EANNE1000]

Congratulations 🎆

[@lainiefrye8249]

You do beautiful work. This bar reminded me of a summertime evening fire. You could add brown ‘fire wood’ on the bottom with flames coming up and the fragrance I would put with that would be a smoky marshmallow.

[@AMusingFarms]

I love the look of the 4th batch, Winning bars! I definitely want to try this. I really like how you showed all 4 batches to learn along the way. I’ve tried pulling up some of the link to the pdf of fragrances spreadsheet and the link isn’t working. As always, thank you for sharing.

[@WiscoMel]

These turned out fantastic ❤

[@fadishark251]

Great. I have a question: How does the soap remain liquid for so long? When I mix soap, I don't have time to shape the soap the way I like

[@franzitaduz]

Absolutely gorgeous. It looks kinetic!

[@Zabelina347]

Just beautiful, thanks for sharing, congratulations 👏🎉

[@tamarabowen6201]

Congratulations they are all beautiful
