- Опубліковано 7 сер 2024
- In this video, I show you how I made my attempt at Aunty Clara's GHOST SWIRL soap. This is a natural cold process soap, with no colours or fragrance oil but still has a beautiful design. The technique was created by Aunty Clara, who has written some fascinating articles dealing with the behaviour of soap and how you can use those characteristics to your benefit when soap making.
This soap is available to buy at www.idreaminsoap.co.uk
I try to give lots of hints and tips in all of my videos, so hopefully, you can use some of the techniques in this cold process soap making tutorial in your own soap making.

Although my cold process soap making tutorials are of a tutorial nature, they are intended for people who have a good understanding of making cold process soap. The information given is based on what works for me, however, there are lots of variables associated with cold process soap making and I therefore, take no responsibility for the results achieved when using the techniques or methods explained in these tutorials. Cold process soap involves the necessary use of sodium Hydroxide (lye) which is a very dangerous substance. Before attempting and cold process soap making you should ensure you are fully aware of the lye safety procedures and always wear the correct safety equipment when making soap.

Hi Everyone, I hope you like the soap. It's the type of soap that really appeals to my geeky soap nature. If you have any questions or comments please leave them below, I will get back to you. I hope everyone is staying fit and well, stay safe (and wash your hands :-) )
I love your soaps
Thank you so much, that's so lovely of you to say, and thank you for leaving a comment for me. I hope you and your family are staying safe and well
This soap is wonderful! 🥰
You are wonderful, but I have a question. I am a Dutch girl living in Spain en nowhere I can find freezerpaper here and I wanna go on. Is it possible to use waxpaper or bakingpaper
I know you work with silicone, but at the moment it takes awhile before the stuff is here, so I use freezerpaper at the moment., but I have no more, so thats why the question
@@astridfilon4295 Hi Astrid. I think freezer paper and wax paper are very similar. Freezer paper only has wax on 1 side whereas wax paper has it on both. You can use baking paper as well. it will absorb a tiny bit of the oil but not much. I hope this helps, either will be OK until supplies start coming again. Stay safe and well :-)
Because of Auntie Clara, I learned everything about soaping. She is a FANTASTIC TEACHER and a pioneer in this industry
Yes, she is amazing and it's always so fascinating to read her articles
Think this is a genius design, and love the final soap - it looks Bridal to me !
Thank you Dawn, ooh yes I can see bridal, would be great, maybe with a touch of a light fragrance added. Stay safe and well :-)
I love the piping on the side and how this entire soap turned out. Great job!!!
Thank you so much Renee, it's such a cool technique and I was thrilled that the piping came out. I spent quite a while trying to plan how to make the piping gel, luckily it worked. Stay safe and well :-)
I have to agree with you! This ghost swirl is absolutely fascinating! Thanks for sharing!
I thought your explanation of the lye measurements was wonderful, very easy to understand, and your animation made your explanation even easier to understand. Thank you so much!! 💓
Glad it was helpful! thank you so much
That's a beautiful soap with so few colours. That's a 'must do then regret it later at my mess' kinda soap lol
Thank you so much Stan, aw, I'm sure you won't make a mess, and hey, how much mess can you make with a no-colour soap :-) Stay safe and well and thank you for all the comments you've been leaving for me :-)
I’m so inspired by this beautiful design. Guess I’m geeky too because this technique has always appealed to me. Your videos are great for tutorial purposes as well as really interesting. Blessings to you 💫
Thank you so much, that's so kind of you to say, this technique is so great for us soap geeks :-) stay safe and well
Leanred so much in this video I didn't expect to! Thank you
AW, such a lovely comment, thank you so much that's really kind of you to say and thank you for taking the time to leave a comment for me :-)

Hey Angela, thank you so much that's so lovely of you. I love it when people learn something from one of my videos, perfect :-) You and Nels stay safe and well :-)
That was a great introductory video to ghost soap making. And I think the animation was fantastic lol. Great job
Thank you so much, ooh yippee, glad you like the animation it took so long to do, but I wanted to be able to do it, so hopefully I have a few skills now. Stay safe and well :-)
Love this technique and want to give it a try!!
You should give it a go, it sounds a bit complicated, but it's actually now, and once you've worked out your lye is pretty straight forward :-)
STUNNING...
That's just beautiful!
Thank you so much Tracy. Stay safe and well :-)

Thank yo so much Karen, so pleased you liked it. Stay safe and well :-)
LOVE this soap! And thank you for showing the back of spoon emulsion. That really helped me understand what emulsion means and looks like. Other videos just show soapers looking at the stick blender and I wasn’t sure what they were seeing. Many thanks!
Thank you so much for your comment, so pleased you found it helpful. I am just doing a video all about trace and emulsion, hopefully, it should be out sometime in the next week. Stay safe and well xx
I Dream In Soap Excellent! Can’t wait to see your video on emulsion and trace! Your geeky soaping fits my geek perfectly. Safe and healthy wishes from across the pond
So beautiful!
That's so kind of you to say gwen p, thank you so much 😊

Brilliant. I love to learn as well as create.
Thank you Tracy, so pleased you liked it, I love learning too :-) stay safe and well.
Beautiful and elegant. You nailed the design you were going for!
Thank you so much Lianne, I was struggling to find something to use as I'm very much a jeans and jumper sort of girl, so don't really have a lot of the bright fabrics that others were using, then I pulled that dress out and it was funny, I first thought, no can't use that and then it sunk in and I got my inspiration, so I guess that's what inspiration is all about. Stay safe and well
I love designs that are tone on tone and this soap is an awesome version of that.
Thank you so much, yes it's such an elegant technique, very calming. Thank you for leaving me a comment. Stay safe and well :-)
I've never heard of this type of soap but it looks great.
It's so cool isn't it. A great design but with no colours :-)
i love your creativity with the side view on the mold too. A whole amazing soap bar and also a great tutorial, thank you!! TINA
Thank you so much Tina, so pleased you liked it. Stay safe and well :-)

Thank you so much Debra, there's something special about a 'plain' bar of soap isn't there. Stay safe and well :-)
That was so interesting. Thank you. 👍♥️

Gorgeous technique...and what a beautiful way to elevate a plain soap 💕

AW, that's so kind of you to say, thank you so much. It's an amazing technique isn't it? Stay safe and well :-)
Its deceptively simple and gorgeous.
Thank you so much, I agree there is something special about a plain bar of soap, I love the added effect of the ghost swirl. Stay safe and well :-)
Wow 😍..that was brilliant. I loved the piping on the sides. It looks beautiful.

Your amazing! Thank you for the perfect explanation, and those bars are beautiful!
Thanks Lisa
Oh, very classy! I love this :) So elegant. I'll definitely have to have a go at this if I can think of a way to do it with my Aga
Thank you Deborah, oh goodness me now that could be tricky I can't imaging even your cool oven would go that low, you could be better off just wrapping your loaf in a towel of something to add some insulation and just leave it out of the oven. Stay safe and well :-)
This was so amazingly informative 🌺✨😊
I am glad to be here and learn from you and your soap is fabulous 💕🌺✨🌺✨🌺
Thank you so much Loren, that's so kind of you to say. Stay safe and well :-)
Brilliant, that was so interesting. Amazing that water can make such a difference to the colour. I love the piping and as I have never done it before it was a great learning lesson. Thank you
Thank you so much Christine, yes it's so fascinating isn't it? So pleased you enjoyed it. Stay safe and well :-)
You've inspired me to do this technique, thanks Lisa x
Excellent news Kerry, I hope it goes well, stay safe and well :-)
@@IDreamInSoap thank you, you too xx
How amazing are those flowers on the side? I have never seen that done before...WOW! Very clever
Hi Rachel, yes they are piped flowers on the side, ooh if you like that you'll probably like my Honeywash soap, with lots of bees all down the side :-) Thank you for your lovely comment, stay safe and well :-)
Thank you for sharing! This is very well explained!I love the result, another beautiful creation of yours
Thank you so much Olivia, and thank you for taking the time to leave a comment for me. Stay safe and well :-)
@@IDreamInSoap wow, such a sign of the times! 50 years from now, people will be able to look and see the effect of covid even in replies as simple as this..."stay safe" how often it crops up now in every day life!
Just gorgeous (as always). I do enjoy and learn from your videos. I can't wait to see what you do with your 3D printer. thank you
Thank you so much, I love it when people say they learn things from my video, it makes my day. Stay safe and well :-)
Wow Lisa, that’s a beautiful soap and a fun experiment with the different lye solutions. By the way, your animation was cute! 😊
Thank you Denise, that's so kind of you. Yippee about the animations, you would never believe how long it took (well maybe you would) but at least I've learnt the basics now. Stay safe and well xx
Looks great. Than you.
Hi Michael, lovely to see you again, thank you so much :-)
@@IDreamInSoap Thank you. I just cut my first batch. It is loaded with glycerin rivers.. I just finished watching your other video about it. Water discounts and such. My first batch, I learned a lot. Thank you so much.
Very pretty and classy, thank you
Thank you so much Tracey, and thank you for taking the time to leave a comment for me. Stay safe and well :-)
@@IDreamInSoap you too, be safe
You are such a good teacher! All so well explained. I had seen the video from Aunt Clara as well. Beautiful soap so I def will be trying. Thank you so much for sharing😊
Thank you so much Mag. ooh I haven't seen a video from Aunty Clara, just the blog post, she has quite a few that are a fascinating read, she's fab. Keep safe and well :-)
@@IDreamInSoap Sorry, Lisa, I meant the blog too and the website, fingers tapping wrong😂keep safe and sane you too❤️
Thank you, appreciate how you explain this so clearly and precisely 👍👍👍👏👏👏really like how instructional your videos are😍😍😍
Thank you so much, I'm so pleased you find my videos helpful, that makes my day :-) stay safe and well
You are brilliant Lisa! It is a joy to watch your creativity and artistry in soap making. I love the finished product. The first bar of your soap that I saw was the scream, that you sent to Karen at Eden’s Secret. Breathtaking!
Hi Patti, thank you so much, that's so kind of you to say. The Scream was actually my 1st soap making video on UA-cam, so that's a coincidence that it's the 1st one you saw too. Stay safe and well :-)
Wow! Thank you! I’m familiar with Auntie Clara’s site and it is worth a read. It’s a beautiful day here in sunny south FL. Looking out the window you can almost pretend . . . Stay safe!
Thank you Micol, isn't she fantastic, I find her blogs and 'experiments' not really sure that's the correct word amazing. Ooh Florida sounds lovely. I was suppose to be coming over there at the end of April, I was going to stay with a soapy friend and we were going to have a few days making soap together. My flights haven't been cancelled yet but I think there's zero chance it will happen :-( You stay safe and well too.
Beautiful!!! Thank you for sharing. I love all your videos and your amazing talent. I want to try this technique. Thanks again and Stay Safe.
Thank you so much Jeannette, you are so kind. Yes it's a great one to try, so do give it a go. You stay safe and well too :-)
Thank you. Stay safe too.
Oh, your hair looks great! It always looks great, but I do love what you've done with it. Congrats on your successful ghost swirl! They turned out great! It's a fun technique for sure!
Thank you so much Whittany. Funny thing with my hair, I needed to dye it (you can actually see in the video when I'm piping all my roots are showing :-) ), trying to get hair dye here at the moment is a nightmare, I guess as all the hairdressers are shut everyone's now doing their own. Ordered several lots and none has turned up yet, even though they have delivery dates (now passed). So the other day Paul, my partner was in a supermarket and he knew I was trying to get some, so without knowing what I use, he bravely made a choice and brought 2 boxes home for me, what a star :-)
I Dream In Soap Im beginning to get some gray strands myself. I'm just letting them shine 😂
U r the soap master ,,, never seen someone take it ur far
AW, such a lovely comment, thank you so much that's really kind of you and thank you for taking the time to leave a comment :-) I hope your family are staying safe and well :-)
Wow. I had no idea this could be done. I am amazed at the variety of techniques Soapmakers can use to express themselves artistically. So beautfiful and elegant. Great job.
AW, such a lovely comment, thank you so much that's really kind of you to say and thank you for taking the time to leave a comment for me :-) Stay safe and well :-)
Magnificent, I so glad I subbed to your channel. The possibilities are endless. I would never try this at the stage of my soaping. I'd waste to much product. Lol. The is so advance. I love it
Thank you so much Cheryl, ooh and thank you for subscribing to my channel - yippee, hopefully one day you'll try it :-)
Tnx 1000 time!
Thank you so much ljiljana kakokad, that's very kind of you.
Wonderful job & beautiful soap! Your technical “geeky” type of teaching really helps me to understand things I’ve not been able to understand by just reading. Even though I love to read I’m still more of a “have to see” to actually understand some things. I’ve read the blog before but wasn’t sure I could do it. With your teachings I do believe those that ask for unscented soap can still have pretty swirls instead of just plain soap now. 😊 Thank you & Auntie Clara for this fascinating process.
AW, thank you so much, I'm so pleased that my video helped you. It is a really fascinating technique and Aunty Clara has some brilliant blog posts doesn't she. I hope you do have a go at it, stay safe and well :-)
I love this one. I am a fan of very subtle swirls and geeky technical things this one definitely ticks both of those boxes. Isn't Auntie Clara's blog fascinating? I could read that all day, well I have in fact done that. LOL
Thank you so much, well as you know, I'm a complete geek too, and yes you can never have too much Aunty Clara :-)
Miss Lisa, I am going to start making soap here in the next week or 2 ( waiting on all my stuff to come in!!) and you were just SUCH AN INSPIRATION!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH, and know that you changed someone’s life and inspired them to create!! Please continue your videos. I absolutely love them
AW Melissa, thank you so much, such a lovely comment, and how exciting that you're going to start making soap. Watch out it's very addictive once you start. Just feel free to ask questions when you have them, you can always just add a comment to a video and I'll see it even if it doesn't relate to the video - just say something like 'random soap question' at the start :-)
I absolutely love this. Thank you for sharing and tutoring. Its so elegant and soothing to look at. Im in awe of the perfection in your bevelling. Can you please show us that part?
Thank you so much Elyna, that's so nice of you. In my next video that I'm just editing at the moment I do actually discuss bevelling, so that's perfect timing (maybe you're a mind reader :-) ) I hope you and your family are staying safe and well :-)
Like this technique, and tho not using colour in them its still so pretty 👍
Thank you so much Carries, so nice of you to say. Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment for me. Stay safe and well :-)
thanks for this idea of soap..stay safe..stay connected..
Thank you so much Marilyn, you stay safe and well too.
Thank you so much for this video. I love it, your explanations are very clear and understandable❤️
That's so kind of you to say Mariana , thank you so much 😊
@@IDreamInSoap You are welcome
Oh my absolutely stunning! 5🌟
Thank you so much and thank you for leaving me another lovely comment, I really appreciate it. I hope you and your family are staying safe and well :-)
@@IDreamInSoap yes i actually got some oils yesterday but still waiting on some of them. I've wrote down so many recipes and stuff like that and have done SO much research on this. And I really think I can do this. I always managed to make pretty melt and pour which I know isn't hard but ive been adding natural honey and oats. Even added lilac buds to a lilac soaps. I'm proud of them. I mostly got the melt and pours for embeds.
@@bowmanfamily9861 Woohoo, how exciting, don't play down melt and pour, to make some pretty soaps with it can be very tricky. So excited for you for your 1st CP soap. Just be careful if you are going to use MP embeds inside the cold process soap you probably don't want it to go through gel as it may melt the embeds, they will still work great but just watch the temperature, don't CPOP you soap or anything.
@@IDreamInSoap thanks so much for the advice. Yes I'm excited. I thinking of making some embeds for the tops. I know they are much more firm than CP soap. And I don't want to ruin none of my new stuff. Cuz it wasn't cheap. Ugh!!!
