    You can tell this wasn't your first rodeo as far as pouring from that big pot into those pitchers! I was on the edge of my seat! Great job!

    I love how humble you are. These are INCREDIBLE regardless of what you're saying. I also love that each batch looks a little different. It makes them unique. These are absolutely gorgeous. I'm impressed with how well you worked with it seeing as you mentioned you were quite flustered lol. Couldn't tell. You're so talented. We are always harder on ourselves. I get like that too and then if I mess up a batch, divvy it out to family or sell as oops bars when I don't really need to haha. I'm trying to be more patient with myself.

    • @moriversoap
      @moriversoap  2 роки тому

      Thank you so much August! I do think the batch turned out great. I just knew I could do better and was hoping for the same results. But once I get past the initial shock of such things, I do tend to like what I have created.

    They turned out beautiful in the end! The sign of a great soapmaker when you’re faced with all the challenges along the way and it still turns out lovely. No one would even know that it gave you so many problems. ❤

    I know the thumbnail has the soap, but watching it done layer by layer - it looks amazing! And so does the final soap. The thicker batter looks like it kept the colors from combining. Love it

    This turned out absolutely beautiful!! I laughed so hard at the idea of you lying down with eyes closed while soaping...I knew what you meant, but the note to clarify you do that while designing just slayed! Love watching you soap, you handled this ornery batch like a champ! Very impressed!

  • @Sassie5731

    • @moriversoap

    26:28 “So when I do this again… And you know I’m gonna do this again. Nothing’s gonna stop me!”😁
    Yes, that’s the spirit! ❤️ If something goes not as planned, that’s only a chance to learn, not a failure. Especially you can’t call such a beautiful soap a failure, but I understand wanting to have the result exactly as you planned it 🤗

    • @moriversoap
      @moriversoap  3 роки тому

      Thank you Anna! It certainly did turn out nice but just wasn't exactly to standards...since I'd done it better before. If it had been my first batch ever, I would have been happier with the results. 😀

  • @mrsmurphy1836
    @mrsmurphy1836 3 роки тому +1

    Looks like a sea view with blue sky, water, wave, whitecap.... worth the effort, but good idea of splitting it up and not making the first layers knowing the rest of the batter is "waiting" and generating stress. They look very pretty and smooth!

    • @moriversoap

    @MegaFairandsquare 9 місяців тому

    Such lovely colors ! I think your fragrance plays a big role in your batch seizing. A whisker may have helped reduce the thickening of the batter as well.
    But everything turns out well in the end.
    Great job!

Even if it had the holes and the stuff you weren't to happy about at the end. THATS OKAY YOU HANDMADE IT THE LOVE AND CARE IS ALL THERE!!! I've never made soap but just watching that process ANYONE could tell that particular soap you make should be more $$ BECAUSE ALL THE TIME YOU TAKE ...handmade is worth more then company on a conveyor belt with no real art or care Godbless you chickie💯🥰🥰

These are fundamentals to be self sufficient and not depend on government or big business who literally put poison in our soaps/food/hair products.. everything... just not enough people care to really check what's in stuff.. but I hope my words helped you feel more comfortable with your art. Because you made soap making an art!! It's beautiful I would buy that and just put in on my bathroom shelf as decor Because its beautiful. Then buy another one to really use lol I'm not even kidding 😂 many people would do that too I'm sure especially people in the city like me. Don't ever sell yourself short. Handmade anything is more $$ .keep making your beautiful soaps! 💪💪

    whewwww!! Ive been procrastinating an ocean themed soap for some time, even grabbed sea water on 3 seperate occasions to use haha. After watching this feat, I think I may be able to handle a single loaf design. I am also going to adjust my planer ( or make my own) as I am losing much more soap then you do while planing. I also love that smooth finish! Great job!!

    I agree with everyone else. You were aiming for a day at the beach, and honestly, I think you hit the mark. It looks just like waves at the beach. 😉❤️❤️ You chose a pretty color palette, and the "white cap" look, was effective in giving that feeling of waves in motion. All I'm missing on this end is sand in all those places sand doesn't belong, and a sunburn lol. Well done honey. ❤️
