White Tea and Bergamot • Soap Fail/Extreme Ricing • Cold Process Soap Making

[@Dragon359]

Strange as this may sound, I hope you do upload a soap making vid even if there are errors in the process. It would be interesting to see what happens when things go somewhat wrong, and to of course not always believe the branding. XD

[@thecalicoheart7946]

Also, it helps beginners like me to learn! 😁 Thank you. 😊

[@sphuith]

Whoa that went south fast....but you showed who’s boss😎 nicely done!

[@yolandanelson1863]

For it to rice, the soap still came out amazing. I love the colors the way the blended

[@ethelmgibbs6150]

No matter the ricing or exceleration, your experience and talent kicked in. The color palette and giving yourself the strength to let us know, that yes, this can happen to the best of us. Once again gurlfriend, you knocked it out of the park. 🌹💯💗

[@echomarta]

I could tell how frustrated you were just by watching your movements! What a massive fail that fragrance is :O

[@msmichelle6279]

She choooonky but you soldiered through!

[@djgigabit-]

Definitely glad you shared this video! I don't make, but enjoy watching and the chemical reactions are always so interesting. Even a "failure" is interesting to watch. It's so interesting how much the fragrance oil can change these soaps!

[@Kirine75]

At least you managed to save it and it still manages to look beautiful like always!!! Looks like that fragrance would be great for layers.

[@OpheliasSoapery]

Definitely! Mix colors first, then add fragrance mix fast and pour 😂

[@curiousladynextdoor6976]

Thanks for making my day, as I laughed so much when I saw your battle with the soap and it is everything I go through. I thought, "yes, Ophelia is human afterall, just like the rest of us"😃😃😃 and then you did the hanger swirl like a pro despite everything and finished off delivering a masterpiece. I salute. Well done.👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@LittleIowaHomestead]

I have to say, I'm slightly disappointed in the lack of failure, lol. These soaps really are beautiful 💙

[@zazzyfieldsbrown]

As usual. You quickly recovered from an unforeseen moment. That dreaded "oops" moment. Teachable moments are needed

[@helloayanna]

I love that you shared this! Shows that even expert soap makers encounter issues during the soap making process. The batch looks great anyhow!

[@wanderingchook1193]

you can pinpoint the exact moment you were just like GET IT IN THE MOULD! it still come out looking lovely!

[@mollybailey4286]

It still looks good. The ricing is barely noticeable in the final product. It even gives more dimension to the blue. You did a great job

[@ShannonMoody]

Whew!!! Awesome save!!!. I love a good chunky swirl!!!

[@ameliakuiper9740]

Not gonna lie, it’s legit some of my favorite soap I’ve ever seen. I actually love how much more graphic the color lines came out. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@shalomeclark9204]

That turned out way better than I expected it too!!! Thanks for showing the fails too, it makes us newbies realize it happens to all of us!!!

[@itsokaytobeclownpilled5937]

Mary Jesus Joseph. My heart. Soap that seizes up is the bane of my existence. You’re a master! It turned out gorgeous!

[@strawberrypauyoung3098]

The emoticon made laughed! If that was me I'd be panicking.😱😱😱😂😂😂

[@sassygoatsoaps5425]

As a fellow soap maker, I hate to see a fragrance seize up and accelerate like that, but I truly appreciate you putting this out there so people can see the good, bad and ugly of soap making. And of course, you handled it beautifully and it looks great!!

[@EdensSecret1]

The swirl turned out really cool

[@chetta3482]

I'm glad you showed us. Helps to see how to handle this under the pressure of the unexpected of soaping. They came out beautiful anyway.

[@mitalimmadan4021]

That was a challenging batch. Loved the hanger swirl in the thick trace.

[@FeistyMimi024]

Great save via super quick action. And a great swirl design despite!!!

[@KellyJelly9976]

That went weird real fast. Thanks for showing it. I like how the top came out - the grey with the seeds ontop fit so well.

[@TheKarret]

As others said; for a fail, you did amazing! :o It still looks really nice~

[@courtneykelly3457]

3:26 "let's just get this soap over with." 😂😂😂😂😂

[@delanietaggard7610]

This is good for me to learn from too for when I start making my own soaps. Thank you for uploading it. I ALWAYS enjoy your videos!! You're helping me to learn a lot. I'm probably the only Alaskan lady you send soap too :D Oh!! I might order more from you too. My family LOVES the samples you made that I gave them. My youngest son has psoriasis and the Huckleberry soap is definitely agreeing with his skin. I rather he use that than that Old Spice body wash on his skin. Too many chemicals and pheromones in that commercial stuff, you know?

[@OpheliasSoapery]

I’m so happy they are loving the soaps!! That makes me so happy 🥰

[@michellecrutchfield8701]

WOAH!!! Congrats on the save!! It turned out beautiful!

[@ssc4153]

When soap misbehaves badly.......you run with it girl! Job well done!

[@AdirondackRuby]

It's like your soaping room became a kitchen on a cooking show: That's not soap, that's custard! But you saved it well!

[@charmainholm8228]

I'm glad you kept going. Turned out lovely still.

[@MrsMilato]

Man that accelerated!!! Good save!!

[@jothornton1891]

I died a little inside when you started to mix the blue and brown. 😭 That acceleration is crazy! Way to make it still beautiful! In fact I really like the design.

[@Selena3williams]

You know when you have cooked a recipe a million times but you do it and for whatever reason it just flops but you just throw your hands up and say to your fam, “Y’all gone eat it anyway!” That’s what this video felt like 😂. It still turned out beautiful! Great job 👏🏼

[@rachaelroberts4607]

I could feel the panic when you realized there was gonna be a problem. Been there. 😂 Way to make it work, still looks amazing!

[@jenniferwilliams2845]

And it STILL looked awesome

[@LDSoapworks]

Woah! That was a a great save! I felt like I was watching a thriller movie! I felt your anxiety... then the happy ending was fantastic. I love your videos and watching your art. Keep it up!

[@jessicagore96]

I LOVE the outcome! Failure and all!! 😍

[@newenglandcoastershots]

I love how soap makers still show what happens when things don't go as planned. Still a beautiful bar

[@whitneykopsie9772]

Some times projects go badly and we have to just do our best to make the best out of it. You did very well.

[@flygirlhoney_]

That turned out really nicely even after that panic-inducing trace. Nicely done!

[@JONELLEWILLIAMSCOSMETICS]

This soap is going to sell out fast. I finally get to see what ricing looks like. Thank you for uploading this video😊

[@abagailrhea3932]

Even though you had to gloop it in the mold it still turned out very pretty!

[@angelaszul9662]

Even though that FO was a real nightmare to work with, you still made it look beautiful!

[@christelledumitriu3842]

Quand j'ai vu la pâte épaissir, je me suis dit OMG mais finalement vous avez bien rattrappé le coup, bravo, ils sont superbes! Merci pour votre partage!

[@moiraesfate1]

Incredible how that turned out given the soap on a stick effect that fragrance had. Gorgeous.

[@faithlabeaud6782]

Beautiful soap as always. You are such a pro even with the ricing of the soap. It still turned out great. Thank you for sharing this video. We also need to see how to handle it when soap making doesn't go as planned. I totally love all your videos.

[@LongForgottenMe]

Extreme 😱 yet this still looks beautiful 💙👍

[@GenericMcName]

The end result still looks stunning, though! I love how the colour blobs stay separate like that! Almost makes it look intentional!

[@lynnepaterson7996]

I was waiting for the FAIL, as in ‘ no good’ but these are stunning! My riced batters never look this good at all. I usually can’t sell them! 🥰

[@gchester49gc]

It still looks great!

[@wagherbert]

When you put the coat-hanger swirl in I thought " Oh no !! The colours will all blend and be yuck !!" How wrong I was !! Absolutely beautiful :) Had you not shown the making of the soap, i would have thought this was just another one of your brilliant designs !!

[@YayaDIYCreations]

The colors are beautiful! Thank you for sharing 💜💜✨

[@tara6777]

That was pretty amazing to watch; your 'fail', was beautiful! I was rooting for you the whole time. (I was watching on my phone with headphones, and all of a sudden, I shouted "oh $***! I made my husband jump 🤦‍♀️😂) Thank you for sharing. 💕

[@strangledwords]

this color palette could easily become a "cookie monster" themed soap, would be real cute!

[@utahgirl53]

That is an amazing bar of soap!! Great job!!

[@annguglielmino8989]

Well. THAT was fun!!😄 End result was beautiful!

[@janicejames3341]

You still a great job, and you showed the soap who was the BOSS..lol

[@carolynotero4886]

Really nice, how fast you work and the results looks good! 🎉

[@micolt123]

Been there,! Great thing about soap, it always is surprising!! Love the colors!

[@bmbartistry5037]

Well done! Amazed that there were’t craters from air pockets the way that seized up on you. Bravo, beautiful end product!!

[@zibbyzoo4379]

It still looks beautiful! Thank you for the great video!

[@cheryl739]

You championed that one! The fragrance sounds wonderful, but I hope you review that on the site, so others don't get surprised and can prepare for it!

[@s44577]

Thanks for posting this video. I've used that fragrance, one of my favorites, and yep, it moves fast! lol

[@truemoonmagic4497]

I LOVE that you shared this video so much. I love my vanilla soap too!! Thank you!

[@diamondstouch]

It still turn out beautiful 🤗

[@truthtrtube]

I dislike when it’s seizes up on me. The fragrance and the coconut cream. Didn’t matter at all it came out great.

[@questrixdragon]

It turned out gorgeous. Love it!

[@LbEternity]

I love that scent! I made soap (m&p so no issues obv like yours) using that fragrance for Xmas gifts for my mom and girls and it’s amazing. Shame it rices so much in cold process but your soaps still turned out lovely.

[@cynthialoera3094]

Beeaauiutifaallll!!! Lovely sosp!! Loved the colors!! You did great as usual!!!

[@kezru1581]

Great save, it looks beautiful.

[@sherriattaway3615]

wow, it was scary there for a moment but it turned put so beautifully marbled!💙Good work!

[@cassietheconqueror]

It looks like you were able to save it! Does ricing affect the bar at all?

[@OpheliasSoapery]

No not at all. The soaps are perfectly fine to use. It can just make the soap not so pretty. This one smells so good I’m keeping some for my self. Such a shame it riced so bad for soap. I’ll use it for bath salts for sure!

[@marydunnington8001]

Great save!!! I hate it when my batter seizes up on me!

[@rosedoloressoapery6575]

I’m so glad I’m not the only one who struggles with this fragrance oil! But it smells so good and I love it so much I keep trying. 😂

[@TA-dj4ob]

Great save! Love the swirls.

[@amandawyatt684]

Girl, I felt the panic in this video but you pulled out off and it turned out beautiful! ❤

[@amistydimnesssoap7005]

Wish my fails turned out that amazing!!

[@lisafrances2416]

Nice save!!!! Beautiful bars!!!

[@lorifrazier3516]

I haven't watched the entire video yet, still watching, but I already know that it will be nicely done and gorgeous.

[@shelbylamothe8833]

That's a fail? Pffft! Looks amazeballs to me!

[@bex7116]

I love how it turned out though 😍 I hate it when I deal with ricing fragrances, gardenia does it too, so I totally understand your frustration BUT man that was extreme my jaw was like 😲

[@bethkrager6529]

Awww, this makes me sad, gardenia is is my favorite scent

[@donnacorsaut8277]

I am glad you uploaded the video. When an amateur such as myself has a snafu occur in a soap batch, it is disappointing. It is helpful when a professional shares that products are not always perfect. I personally want that fragrance. It is helpfulk knowing that I will need to be cautious if I decide to use it.

[@sweetsurrenderspaqualityba4240]

Glad you uploaded it! Beautiful as always! 💕💕😍😍

[@LizzyAnna]

Good save! Beautiful color scheme.

[@mstavia4885]

Still turned out very nice! You're a Pro!

[@gracejaskot1547]

I really like it. But, I'm a hot process soap maker! You made it work ... beautiful.

[@summerbreeze1955]

Lovely soap. Great idea to upload what can go wrong.

[@gift0fGod843]

I knew you didn't like the way it handled when you began mixing the first time. The way you stomper thru this is true testament that you are a boss at what you do

[@leslietomasulo8915]

That fragrance did the same thing in my soap, ugh. Nice save.

[@udderlysoapstudio9869]

Thank you for sharing!! I know that moment of panic when it’s like yikes! Not expecting that. Did the scent have any warnings on their website? Soap still turned out gorgeous.

[@dianesilvestriclifford5691]

Good job. This soap looks BEAUTIFUL

[@donnalow3562]

Turned out beautiful!!! That shows your true talent!! I absolutely love it!

[@yvonnemiller7204]

AMAZING!! Whip and beat that sucker into submission!!! I hate when FO's do this!!! And it turned out beautiful!! Well done!!

[@lorelieevans6750]

Wow did that get thick fast. Still looks amazing though!

[@aa-jt3et]

doesnt seem like a me! these look wonderful

[@vickynichols7990]

Lol.. I wish my soap failures looked as good as this!

[@beadladee]

Woe, that moved fast. 😮😂 I have that fragrance and it doesn't do that with me mine is a few years old. Maybe they changed the formula.

[@OpheliasSoapery]

They must have. It was on their list of new fragrances. It had 0 reviews when I purchased it :/

[@yuna466]

That happened to me with one soap, it was because of the fragrance. How you can do your soaps so nice? The soap texture it is just the way it should be!

[@OpheliasSoapery]

A soap planer does wonders 😀
