It's beautiful! Had you not said anything about the TD, I'd have thought it was a hat tip to the Webb telescope that we saw pictures from today!
I love it!!! With an open mind and an active imagination, we can find beauty even in “mistakes” - I think that’s why cutting the soap is my favourite part! I’m always amazed by what’s inside the bars (especially when it’s not what I intended).
And the Webb pictures are truly incredible!!! 🤩
Thank you for sharing.... very interesting explanation..
I do mixed TD in olive oil too.
And I blend blend blend... it really well till TD really smooth in big container for my easy use.
Looking forward for your next video.. :)
Thanks, that’s great advice! I’ve been considering switching to water soluble TD, since it looks easier to mix, but am not sure I want to risk possible glycerine rivers with the extra water. Maybe a bit of side-by-side experimentation is in order… 🤔
@@findlaycreeksoapcompany you can try first and see how it goes. 😉
Using OO in TD no glycerin river for me. 😊
I do an ombré when dying fabric, and I use weight as my measure. Figuring out how many sections I want. And about halfway thru I lower my angle. And about 3/4 way thru, lowered it again. Then went flat. And the white specks look planned, so just say”I meant it that way!”
That sounds so cool! 🤩
I recently discovered your videos and am enjoying them immensely. Excellent first attempt! It's still too challenging for me right now, so thanks for including your tips. What water:lye ratio do you use? Also, maybe link Lisa's video for easy access.
Sorry, I just saw that you linked the video already.
Thanks! I hope you do give it a try sometime - even if the design doesn’t turn out like you imagined, it will always be amazing and beautiful soap 😊
The water:lye ratio I use is 2.1756:1 (or 28% the weight of the oils). I use soapcalc to get the exact weight of water/lye/oils for each batch
Happy soaping!
OH thats so cool im kinda sick of all the pours i do. Im trying this ASAP. Hmmmm which fragrance will behave 😂😂😂
That’s always the question! 🤞🙏😂
I'm going with lilac n purple AS WE SPEAK
Also saving some dark to play with the top for a simple little swirlie n fairy dust 😂
Sounds amazing! Good luck!!!
Dang it my titanium weighed down.
