I'm not a crystal girlie but this might just convince me to become one. I'm obsessed with how the amethyst looks like a little rocket ship flying in outer space.
You don't have to use them meta-physically, rockhounding and collecting is fun and you can do it in your backyard or at riverbanks, I have millions of jars full lol
I actually like the opalite one specifically without the opaque background, the "endless" feeling (as you put it) works there and I feel you love the opalite against the background. The other ones are better with backgrounds, though I'm on the fence about the seascape one, I like them both
I was going to comment the same thing. Without the background, there's more depth to the "clouds" and glitter. The one with the white background just looks flat in comparison
I really appreciate how Katie always goes out of her way to acknowledge other creators and the inspirations for her soaps. No idea is completely new and unique in 2023 (and that’s the beauty of community and info sharing), but it’s great to give credit where credit is due and share the love with other creators.
Katie, I have to really appreciate the positivity you have towards Melt and Pour and your willingness to embrace the unique nature of the medium. So many soapers look down on MP and as a long time MPer (and a short time Cold Process Soaper, going on 1 year!!) it gets irritating seeing them poopoo it. We have room for all of these soaps in the community :D (really cute soaps, by the way! I've had fun making crystals out of soap and then embedding those into MP loafs)
I used to make M & P soaps, and I have just started them up again. Not sure if anyone has mentioned this, but if you spritz your soaps with rubbing alcohol in between layers, you'll get a better hold. I remember not doing this and my layers came apart. 😢.. Your soaps are absolutely beautiful!!!!
Great job, Katie! I am a MP Soap Artist and I am so happy to see you helping to rid the stigma MP has gathered over the years. The brand really matters as far as what you can do and quality of the soap. Looking forward to seeing more! PS: I've watched your channel for years now, even though I have no desire to try CP, but I just love learning about it and watching your journey. 🙂🥰😘
Ohhhh my goodness... to borrow your own phrase I am *obsessed* with both the sea turtle and strawberry soaps! Just adore the concept of a little scene in embeds (and I honestly can't decide between the two sea soaps - they're both beautiful for different reasons). I'd also 100% buy the amethyst one, have always loved the glitter of the Diamond soaps and this design with the crystal + stars feels like a really gorgeous level-up from there.
i love the see through ones without the opaque back! definitely a big fan of having a lot of clear parts, its just so fun but also the amethyst starry night one just aaahhh gorgeous
Oh my gosh, they are so so pretty!! I love the under the sea one (I prefer the one without the opaque background) and the amethyst? Wow. Such perfect soap bars
WOW, Katie! These look so pretty. My favourite is the amethyst because it's my birthstone and it just looks like it's shooting through space!! I also love the turtle one with the back - has so much more depth. Love from the UK
The smoky quartz in the sea themed bar was so pretty!! I liked it without the white background because it looked so much like water but either way, they're gorgeous!! That glitter placement is perfect!
I love the amethyst one and the white one. I think the rainbow one is really pretty but I'm not a fan of the orange, I think pink, green, blue and purple would look better for than one. Good job Katie, I just love your videos they always make me smile
The detail in the underwater one was awesome, but the cloud in the amethyst one was also stunning! I think the marbling was done so well it would compliment every design lol
I love the videos where you show your experiments and “fails”. You can tel us all the right things to do, but also seeing all the ways to mess it up are so helpful
My favorites were the amethyst, strawberry and turtle. Super cute ideas starting there. These could make an interesting palette for your Secret Soap series!
Feeling so incredibly honored to have been your source of inspiration for this project! I have watched your videos for years so this truly is amazing! The turtle soap is incredible!
Love the opaque background, love the stawberry soap, and LOVE being brought along for this experiment!! Ill be trying some melt and pour designs soon after watching this!!
Thank you for your positive attitude on melt and pour soap. I haven't been MP soaping for that long, but the attitude of a lot of cold process soapers towards MP had been really putting me off of the soaping community.
Both underwater soaps are pretty but the amazing thing about the one with the opaque background is it's still so clear! It almost looks like you CAN see all the way through it.
I am obsessed with the amethyst soap! The colors and glitters make the most gorgeously perfect outer space bar. I'd buy it immediately. The sea turtle was my second fave.
I'm normally an opalite kind of person, but I absolutely love the sea soap, especially with the opaque background, it kind of adds to the depth of the soap and gives the bar 'layers'
Ooooo I have NEVER seen Strawberry Obsidian before, SO pretty!! I am a melt and pour soaper, I love that YOU still learn while doing melt and pour and you share WHAT you learned. Great and fun video Katie 🥰
2 months late to this video oops but similarly to the opalite also used in the video, the strawberry obsidian is a manmade stone. There are a lot of manmade stones that are pretty common especially in tumbled form or in jewelry that usually are made to imitate more precious stones (though I'm really not sure what the strawberry is trying to be). Sometimes though it's a natural stone that is dyed to imitate another (ie. howlite dyed blue to mimic turquoise)
Visually, I like how the strawberry and ocean ones look the most, I think. I love the thicker clear piece more than thinner, and the lack of coloured background even tho I loveeee the blue colour, bc I like that it's clear like water for that one!!
this makes me so happy. melt and pour is the only type of soap I can make right now just due to space and they make great gifts. I love the designs you came up with
I like them being translucent when it comes to the water underwater scenes! adds to the setting! don’t have a preference with the others as much since they’re so cute either way!
I love the new direction your channel is taking. I do like watching the cold process, but it's reallynice to break it up with other things like this, or craft kits, candles or just anything else fun.❤
Melt n pour makes these soap look so magical. If i were to buy those, id want one of each besides the multicolored 1. But man i love how magical they are.
The sea turtle soap is my favorite! Living on an island where snorkeling is my husband’s favorite activity, I’m drawn to that one the most. And I can’t decide if it’s better with the opaque background or without!
Loved this video!! Seeing how soap can be used to have such a clear glass like appearance is just so beautiful. My favorite one was either the dark purple crystal galaxy or the sea turtle one! Thanks for making these soap videos and sharing your art of soap making with us Katie! It's always a highlight of the day for me. Warm wishes!! 😊
I like these, they are cute. It's fun to see you try this out and also to see a soap video much like your usual ones, but with a different soap variant!
I am a diamond soap buyer. I loved the sea one that was clear and the strawberry bar, also clearer one. I love that you made these, I know I for one am a fan of the smaller bar but like that these had designs as well.
I love the all white opal ones! Very elegant and classy and rich looking. The purple galaxy is a very close 2nd. Under the sea ... I love both, see thru is just so cool & fun but the opaque really shows details. Thanks this was fun change if pace video!! Congrats on Eras selling out!!
I love it! I do make my own regular soap bars, (I usually buy your shampoo bars) but I am really drawn to the purple and black amethyst one! Dramatic and beautiful. The soap loaf melt and pour sea scape bars you made quite a while ago were my favorite there, those were a lot of fun. I think you embedded little fish toys in that one? These are very cute bars Katie and crew! Have a great afternoon all 😊
Love the see-through ocean bar. ❤ I also like the strawberry and the black and purple soap. They are all simply gorgeous 😍 You did a fabulous job Katie!!
The sea soap and strawberry soaps are my favs! If it weren't for the fact that I have soooooo much materials for other "hobbies," I would for sure get into melt and pour soap making.
Melt & pour can be so much fun. I do love how they are transparent and love your embeds and designs, they're super cute! Aren't those larger glitter pieces a bit scratchy on the skin though?
I have purchased a bar from Crystal bar soap. Her coven is awesome. The owner is so sweet. The bar was amazing. Her coven inspired me to become a soap maker. I love the horoscope line. It sales out so fast.
;;w;; obsessed doesn't even cover how i feel about the Strawberry Soap and the Sea Soap (both with and without the opaque backing, you're literally right they're fun for different reasons and both look amazing) - loved most of these designs
I feel like the opal soaps and moonstone soaps would look beautiful on a dark background. There's such a think as black opal so having a black bar with a white opal gem on top would be beautiful. And moonstone because the stone itself is black and white. My favorite is the dream amethyst bar!
Well done, Katie. You're so creative! I loved the amethyst and the opalite ones. They looked more classy. I also prefer the turtle one with the opaque background. Love as always xx
I love them all but the sea ones with the turtles were my faves, especially the transparent one! I'd buy that one for sure! Same with the amethyst one! Looked like a galaxy!
i LOVEEE the strawberry and sea soap!! the strawberry shortcake vibe was there! and the sea on reminded me of finding nemo. love watching you experiment 💞💞💞
I'm not a crystal girlie but this might just convince me to become one. I'm obsessed with how the amethyst looks like a little rocket ship flying in outer space.
The space-soap is just so pretty!
You don't have to use them meta-physically, rockhounding and collecting is fun and you can do it in your backyard or at riverbanks, I have millions of jars full lol
I actually like the opalite one specifically without the opaque background, the "endless" feeling (as you put it) works there and I feel you love the opalite against the background. The other ones are better with backgrounds, though I'm on the fence about the seascape one, I like them both
Ooooooo we love this perspective! Now I want to just leave it and make more! haha
I preferred that one without the opaque background too, I loved how light and airy it was.
Yes, I agree with this. Perhaps you could play with various colours/sizes of glitter to get the depth you're looking for?
I was going to comment the same thing. Without the background, there's more depth to the "clouds" and glitter. The one with the white background just looks flat in comparison
Yea I def like that one more as well
I really appreciate how Katie always goes out of her way to acknowledge other creators and the inspirations for her soaps. No idea is completely new and unique in 2023 (and that’s the beauty of community and info sharing), but it’s great to give credit where credit is due and share the love with other creators.
The banded amethyst is amazing! The sea turtle is also adorable.
Those are the two I’d buy too!
Banded amethyst is called Dream Amethyst :)
I really enjoyed seeing the see-through underwater soap! You did an amazing job ❤
I agree. It looks like a fish tank!
That was my favorite too
Sorry I can’t resist a pun it’s SEA-through 🥹😂

We have room for all of these soaps in the community :D
(really cute soaps, by the way! I've had fun making crystals out of soap and then embedding those into MP loafs)
I’m leaning for the ones with the opaque background. You can see the rest of the embeds better. They are all very pretty well done!
I agree! Especially for the ocean themed one. It gave the background so much depth, its like you are underwater in the seabed.
I used to make M & P soaps, and I have just started them up again. Not sure if anyone has mentioned this, but if you spritz your soaps with rubbing alcohol in between layers, you'll get a better hold. I remember not doing this and my layers came apart. 😢.. Your soaps are absolutely beautiful!!!!
I spritz mines and the layers came a part...I brought my clear soap at JoAnn...maybe I should get a better brand
The sea turtle one is just too cute. I love how it looks like a snap shot of what someone could see diving.
Great job, Katie! I am a MP Soap Artist and I am so happy to see you helping to rid the stigma MP has gathered over the years. The brand really matters as far as what you can do and quality of the soap. Looking forward to seeing more!
PS: I've watched your channel for years now, even though I have no desire to try CP, but I just love learning about it and watching your journey. 🙂🥰😘
Thank you so much! You have my upmost respect! xo
@@RoyaltySoaps thank you so much! And ditto! 😍
I like the opaque back turtle. Makes it look more 3d
I tend to agree!
Ohhhh my goodness... to borrow your own phrase I am *obsessed* with both the sea turtle and strawberry soaps! Just adore the concept of a little scene in embeds (and I honestly can't decide between the two sea soaps - they're both beautiful for different reasons).

The amethyst and sea with clear background were my favorite ❤
i love the see through ones without the opaque back! definitely a big fan of having a lot of clear parts, its just so fun
but also the amethyst starry night one just aaahhh gorgeous
Oh my gosh, they are so so pretty!! I love the under the sea one (I prefer the one without the opaque background) and the amethyst? Wow. Such perfect soap bars
I love the detail of each soap’s color scheme matching with the chosen crystal. Very clever!
I love how supportive you are! also anyone reading this, you need to try her shampoo bars - they are the BEST!
WOW, Katie! These look so pretty. My favourite is the amethyst because it's my birthstone and it just looks like it's shooting through space!! I also love the turtle one with the back - has so much more depth. Love from the UK
The smoky quartz in the sea themed bar was so pretty!! I liked it without the white background because it looked so much like water but either way, they're gorgeous!! That glitter placement is perfect!

I actually liked the opalite one without the opaque background. I'll take it if you dont want it! 😁
I love the marble galaxy look of the amethyst one so much!!
QOTD: If the theme is clear (like the ocean soap) then it makes sense that you can see through the finished bar, I like it
I love the clear back on the turtle soap, but the opaque looks better on the rest!
I *love* the ones you can sort of see through. It looks more like water, which is perfect for that theme. These are so gorgeous.
The detail in the underwater one was awesome, but the cloud in the amethyst one was also stunning! I think the marbling was done so well it would compliment every design lol
That amethyst soap is stunning and I would buy several of those. With the underwater soap I like the see-through effect better.
I love the videos where you show your experiments and “fails”. You can tel us all the right things to do, but also seeing all the ways to mess it up are so helpful
My favorites were the amethyst, strawberry and turtle. Super cute ideas starting there. These could make an interesting palette for your Secret Soap series!

Love the opaque background, love the stawberry soap, and LOVE being brought along for this experiment!! Ill be trying some melt and pour designs soon after watching this!!
I love this concept! My favorites were the turtle and the amethyst! Continue to push that envelope and trying new things!
Thank you for your positive attitude on melt and pour soap. I haven't been MP soaping for that long, but the attitude of a lot of cold process soapers towards MP had been really putting me off of the soaping community.
Both underwater soaps are pretty but the amazing thing about the one with the opaque background is it's still so clear! It almost looks like you CAN see all the way through it.
I like the amythest one the most (especially that it looks like a night sky). Could be something to expand to include all the birthstones/colors.
Birthstone soaps are a brilliant idea! A new spin on the cold process bstone series from a couple of years ago.
Thanks for showing us that "fancy" soaps doesn't have to be lye and such chemicals etc. These are BEAUTIFUL!!!
My daughter and I do melt and pour as a hobby and we love it. We're also HUGE fans of all your cold process soaps, especially the Eras collection!!!
I am obsessed with the amethyst soap! The colors and glitters make the most gorgeously perfect outer space bar. I'd buy it immediately. The sea turtle was my second fave.
Amethyst one looks like space/galaxy! ❤❤❤❤❤
I'm normally an opalite kind of person, but I absolutely love the sea soap, especially with the opaque background, it kind of adds to the depth of the soap and gives the bar 'layers'
These might be some of the cutest melt and pour soaps ive ever seen! I’ve never wanted to make soaps more!!!
The strawberry ones look so adorable!! I’d love love love more fruit or berry themes with this idea
The amethyst and Smokey quartz ones are pure works of art! These are beautiful, Katie. X
Ooooo I have NEVER seen Strawberry Obsidian before, SO pretty!! I am a melt and pour soaper, I love that YOU still learn while doing melt and pour and you share WHAT you learned. Great and fun video Katie 🥰

Ahh, how sweet of you to offer the bundle again! I saw it, and decided a real Swifty deserved it. But how fun to have it sell so well!!
I love that strawberry soap omg. so elegant and cutesy at the same time
I like them being translucent when it comes to the water underwater scenes! adds to the setting! don’t have a preference with the others as much since they’re so cute either way!
I would definitely buy the sea crystal ones. I have a friend that LOVES sea turtles and she would absolutely go bonkers for that soap. :3
The sea turtle (with the opaque back) and the banded amethyst soaps were my absolute favorite!!! Gorgeous!!!!
I love the new direction your channel is taking. I do like watching the cold process, but it's reallynice to break it up with other things like this, or craft kits, candles or just anything else fun.❤
I've been having such a soap making slump, but this has totally inspired me!
I'm so excited you are doing another round of the party pack! I just pre-ordered mine 😍
the sea turtle and the strawberry ones are so cute!!! i prefer the one w/ opaque backgrounds!
The amethyst, the sea themed, and the green aventurine I would buy now! So pretty
I'm obsessed by the turtle sea one and the purple ametist one! They look incredible!!!
watching you pour the amethyst soap was my favorite part of the video! so pretty
The opal soap without the white layer is my favorite
Most of them I love the opaque back but the turtle bar needs to be clear so he's swimming 😂
Melt n pour makes these soap look so magical. If i were to buy those, id want one of each besides the multicolored 1. But man i love how magical they are.
The underwater sea soap was my favorite, I would definitely buy it! My second favorite was the strawberry soap. Beautiful!
The sea turtle soap is my favorite! Living on an island where snorkeling is my husband’s favorite activity, I’m drawn to that one the most. And I can’t decide if it’s better with the opaque background or without!
I would love to see more videos creating melt and pours!
I love watching you try new techniques, and hearing what you learn! The strawberry and sea soaps are sooo precious.
Loved this video!! Seeing how soap can be used to have such a clear glass like appearance is just so beautiful.
My favorite one was either the dark purple crystal galaxy or the sea turtle one!
Thanks for making these soap videos and sharing your art of soap making with us Katie! It's always a highlight of the day for me.
Warm wishes!! 😊
I think this is the best release I’ve seen yet. Soooo much variety
I love the strawberry, amethyst & sea ones! The sea one if you sold it could be called "Mermaids' friends"!💜
The amethyst and the sea soap 😍😍😍 i think i prefer the sea soap with the opaque back, it makes the colors prettier!
You're such a kind and gentle soul. It's so sweet of you to share your experiments and observations with others. ❤
I like these, they are cute. It's fun to see you try this out and also to see a soap video much like your usual ones, but with a different soap variant!

I love all your soaps and I love watching you make them and your family.
Melt and pour is great! I make it and love it! Fun and easy.
Your soaps are beautiful, love the strawberry and turtle ones.
I LOVE all of these designs!!!!!! They’re so cute!!!!! Especially the amethyst and strawberry ones!!!!!
Love playing with melt and pour and crystals. So glad you tried it and love playing around with it also.
I loooove the amethyst one. Purple and black is the perfect combination
The strawberry one!!!🥰🍓 It reminds me of those beautiful gelatin cakes; so pretty!
Melt & pour can be so much fun. I do love how they are transparent and love your embeds and designs, they're super cute! Aren't those larger glitter pieces a bit scratchy on the skin though?

The under the sea and the amethyst is absolutely beautiful!
Really enjoyed watching you create with melt and pour. This was fun! Thank you.
My favorite was the black and purple soap. And I like the see-through ocean soap, it has a cool 3D effect 😊
I AM OBSESSED WITH THE TURTLES
I feel like the opal soaps and moonstone soaps would look beautiful on a dark background. There's such a think as black opal so having a black bar with a white opal gem on top would be beautiful. And moonstone because the stone itself is black and white. My favorite is the dream amethyst bar!
I LOVE the turtle ones! Not an crystal kinda person but I love that that one looked like a rock in the ocean!
i prefer the opaque one best, the amethyst is my 2nd fave
Well done, Katie. You're so creative! I loved the amethyst and the opalite ones. They looked more classy. I also prefer the turtle one with the opaque background. Love as always xx
They all looked amazing but honestly the opalite and the bamded amethyst ones were my favourite 😍
The clear all the way through sea turtle soap is amazing 🤩
I love them all but the sea ones with the turtles were my faves, especially the transparent one! I'd buy that one for sure! Same with the amethyst one! Looked like a galaxy!
Strawberry and the Turtle... :)😍 The banded amethyst looks like a galaxy!
Love the experimenting with m&p. Ms Terrys Soaps and Such is someone to watch. She’s very talented with my& p
i LOVEEE the strawberry and sea soap!! the strawberry shortcake vibe was there! and the sea on reminded me of finding nemo. love watching you experiment 💞💞💞
