You have been such a inspiration to me! I’ve learned so much from you over the last 2 1/2 years and I just took a leap of faith and opened a soap business here in south Louisiana! Yep I’m a country Cajun girl! Thank you for all that you do for all of us and I absolutely love watching your videos.
You're such an inspiration to us new soap makers. I love that you show the process including flaws and experiments. I began making candles, wax melts and soaps after my daughter passed away last may. She had began making them for our local farmers market. To continue her vision I continued making the candles and extended her products by making soaps. Thank you so much for showing me different techniques that are easy to follow.
So so so amazing, always love watching your videos. Absolutely beautiful ❤😊. You're creative and informational videos are so good 👍. You have a very blessed day and keep it up. Thank you, Ellen 😊 💓
Wow , some really great techniques Ellen!!! My brain just frazzled when I tried to figure out how you got the lye solutions divided up with their oils counterparts, ? Beautiful outstanding work❤❤❤❤
I absolutely LOVE these types of designs! 😍 I immediately thought of Sailor Moon when I saw your video title 😄 And I stand with you on not supporting 50 Shades (the movie/book) ✊🏼
These are absolutely gorgeous!!!! When it comes to fragrances, the name definitely attracts me, or shooos me off! I like when the name somewhat describes the fragrance. Like “laundry day” “winter woods” or so on? Maybe I’m too simple, Ellen?😂 Monkey farts just makes me think *Nooooooo!*😂 it may smell great, but I’d have a hard time even reading the description.😂 I absolutely love this soap and the name you chose!
That colour morph had me thinking of Beetle Juice and then you mentioned it! 😂😂 I made a FO sandalwood and clove with a teeny bit of EO clove loaf last night and I have officially joined you on the fast movers team. My. Word. I love this design so much! I may have to give it a try. And yes! I avoid FO names that don’t jive with me, no matter how many good reviews it has.
This reminds me of that Halloween movie, the nightmare before Christmas. It looks like Jack's suit and the moon when he was on the cliff. You should consider putting this as a reminder of that movie, I bet it would sell well this time of year too. People LOVE THAT MOVIE and they are talking about a live action.
@EllenRuthSoap Hello beautiful soul... I love your video's, you give me inspiration & appreciation to soap making. May you please explain to me how you know how much batter and lie to spilt up to make the layers? I hope that my question is understandable 😅.
That fragrance is amazing, I made a soap a few months back with that but I brought it from Be Scented. I’ll have to try the one from wholesale supplies plus because I know it will be more potent. The one I have wasn’t strong enough🤷🏽♀️😁 Will be using again. Your bars came out gorgeous!💚🔥
I’m so interested in this now after buying handmade soaps. Yours is coming soon to me. Excited. Question if I was venturing into making my own soap. How did you start was it small batch or did you jump in and make those big logs? My circle is small so I would be the only one using it unless I braved the possibility of giving away as gifts to a few people.
I started with small batches and experimented with different approaches... Here is a video with several small batch recipes: ua-cam.com/video/SO5n4uWEVO0/v-deo.html
Beautiful soap Ellen. A question please. I use a premixed 50/50 lye solution. When would I introduce the Tussah Silk? Thank You for all your inspiration.
Halloween name it Beetle Juice and for the Christmas season name it Jack Skelton from the Nightmare Before Christmas. Just use a Christmas scent instead. If the name of a scent is a little off putting to me but I like the scent notes I will change the name of it. I got the Monkey Farts because my kids wanted it but to sell it and market it I just changed the name.

I really love those layers! Too bad you couldn’t have call it Shades of Beetlejuice. 😁 I won’t buy or even consider something like “Monkey Farts”. I am sure they are great fragrances but NOOOO thank you. 😂
This soap is absolutely amazing. Just for the record, I wouldn't buy anything associated with the name monkey farts. I think its horrible. Whoever thought it up 🤔
Piano Keys is a name to call this soap in the future
Ooh! A red and white white striped with red and green swirls for Christmas would be beautiful too!
You have been such a inspiration to me!

Awesome! Cajun girl spice-en up the soap world❣️

I'm so sorry for your loss. What a sweet way to honor her 💗
Thank you for everything ❤
Yeah 100% I would name these off the movie the nightmare before Christmas. Plus it relates to Halloween and Christmas 🎄🎁
They are beautiful, you are so creative. Thanks for sharing
If you piped a pink rose on top, these are very shabby chic! I love it!
Love that💗🖤
Love this. All those bowls would overwhelm me but you looked calm and collective. Must try it thank you.
So so so amazing, always love watching your videos. Absolutely beautiful ❤😊.
You're creative and informational videos are so good 👍. You have a very blessed day and keep it up.
Thank you, Ellen 😊 💓

I absolutely LOVE these types of designs! 😍 I immediately thought of Sailor Moon when I saw your video title 😄 And I stand with you on not supporting 50 Shades (the movie/book) ✊🏼
What a stunning design! So artistic and beautiful, Christmas colors could use green, red and white with mica shimmer on top.❤️
Beautiful soap by the way❤
Thank you! 😊
You make some of the beautiful designs in soap
Thank you so much 😊
Love the look of this soap, you ended on a great name! Thank you for another great video.

Absolutely wonderful video Ellen! Love the design, it looks like it smells so wonderful 😊.
Thank you so much!🖤
Love this!
Thanks 🖤
Wow.. this soap is gorgeous
Thank you 🌚🖤
Awesome soap.
Thank you!
Looks amazing and Beetle Juice is much better!
I'm old school beetle juice too that is sure a great representation of the movie though. Beautiful design. Cute name.
Thank you! 🤗🌚🖤
🩶🖤🤍love!!
Makes me want to do a red and white peppermint one for Christmas 🎄 🥰
I made a soap with monkey farts fragrance, it's my favourite scent EVER! Beautiful soap x
Great looking soap! ❤
Thank you!🖤

Oh yes, clove smells so good but is a fast mover! 🖤
I think it looks like Jack's suit and the moon scene when he is on the cliff looking at the moon.

I like Tuxedo Moon better than 50 shades. I love
Thanks! I bet it does smell great, it's just the name🤣

The Soap looks fantastic and the name Tuxedo moon is apt and cool
Thanks 🖤🌚
love this soap

As soon as I saw the black/white stripes, I thought about Beetlejuice!

@@EllenRuthSoap thanks

Beautiful soap Ellen. A question please. I use a premixed 50/50 lye solution. When would I introduce the Tussah Silk? Thank You for all your inspiration.
the pre-mixed lye solution isn't hot enough to melt the fibers, so I would skip the silk.
I'm the same with fragrance names. If the name doesn't sound good, I don't buy as well 🤭
The black white and grey could also be Pugsley, Wednesday Aadam's brother.
Shades Gray
Beautiful design. I think you are really missing out judging by the name. Reindeer poop scent is amazing! Kids & adults seem to love it.
Yes, when I read the descriptions they sound so good❣️
Halloween name it Beetle Juice and for the Christmas season name it Jack Skelton from the Nightmare Before Christmas. Just use a Christmas scent instead. If the name of a scent is a little off putting to me but I like the scent notes I will change the name of it.

I see cookie monster in some of those swirls...lol
Love it and I don’t like the “Monkey Farts” name either. 🙈😂
🤣🖤
I know what you mean by the off putting names. I do however buy them but I rename them. I think they use those names to make it more fun for kids. What kid wouldn’t get a kick out of Monkey Farts and Reindeer Poo. 😂
That’s a good point about the names 👍🖤
My adult sons would bask in the glory of using a soap named Reindeer Poop 😂
How long does the titanium dioxide last in the squirt bottle if I were to make ahead?
If I’m not going to use it up in a few days, I put a preservative in so it lasts for a long time.
I’m with you about fragrance names. I just can’t buy some!
Do you sell or share your soap recipes? Do you pretty much use the same base for all your recipes? I need a slow moving record for designs like this
Yes, I use my core recipe for most of my batches. Here is a video with several great recipes: ua-cam.com/video/SO5n4uWEVO0/v-deo.html
How about Harmony like Ebony and Ivory
Names of soaps are important and I’d never buy something with a silky name. I love ‘shades of grey’.👍
Nightmare before Christmas soap? I mean I think that works too
I really love those layers! Too bad you couldn’t have call it Shades of Beetlejuice. 😁
I won’t buy or even consider something like “Monkey Farts”. I am sure they are great fragrances but NOOOO thank you. 😂
I love this color and design. I don't like some fragrance names either. Monkey farts is one of them. Don't like the sexual names either.
I’m the same with the names😉🖤
Everytime I try to do a layered soap, it gets too hot and 1 layer ends up being too hard to cut which ruins the design 😢☹️
Oh no, that sounds frustrating🥲
I love monkey farts mixed with tropical blends like pineapple and aloha. Name your new soap tuxedo
This soap is absolutely amazing. Just for the record, I wouldn't buy anything associated with the name monkey farts. I think its horrible. Whoever thought it up 🤔
All those dishes to wash, ughhh
But so worth it🤣
😊I could be wrong but most of the items look dishwasher safe so maybe not too bad
