Hi Ellen Karen from the British Isles cruise here, I don’t consider this a fail just a different vision of what you had in mind. I agree Van goh looking. The mountains and rolling lush hills I agree I could look at all day every day. I loved every part of the cruise as well but like I’ve told many people my favourite part was meeting you 💖. Take care
That very first slice of soap is absolutely gorgeous! I’ve honestly never commented before on a bar of soap being so beautiful. The silhouette and shadowing on a beautiful mountain with amazing blue and white skies overhead are just gorgeous. You can’t go wrong trying to replicate God’s beautiful creation! This wasn’t a fail at all! Absolutely stunning!
I’m so glad you shared this and I love how you laughed at yourself. So important to be able to have fun with what you are doing. I do like the final product! You are an amazing teacher! 🧼⛰️
Aw wonderful Ellen, I’m from Scotland & LOVE living here, I never get tired of the scenery! 🙏🏻I’m so happy you enjoyed your visit, your soap still looks beautiful! 😊
Thank you for this awesome video - I’m so glad you showed your easier and neater process to get the soap batter into the piping bag. I’ve always struggled with that!
I think they are beautiful!! Looks like starry, starry night over the mountain! My daughter lives in Scotland and I really want to visit there one day!!
The sky reminds me of Van Gogh. I like it a lot. I seem to remember you made a Starry Night soap once. Now you have that scene in the daytime. 🥰 I'd just cut the tops off and have nice rectangular soap bars. Sometimes you have to let go of part of your creation to make what remains better. Writers call it "killing your darlings." The soap bank would appreciate your "bloppy tops."
Haha, funny. Your oopsies still look like masterpieces to me. Mine look like something that the cat dragged in & spit up, lol. Love your videos & your soaps! I've been making your laundry soap bars & detergent recipe & have decided that I will NEVER buy laundry detergent again...everything comes out SO CLEAN!! Thank you so much, Ellen, for your wonderful recipes!
There’s a face on the left top side of the first slice of soap, so cute. I wouldn’t call it a fail, just different than what you had in mind. No worries! Hugz, Tree
I am so glad you enjoyed such beautiful scenery❣️❣️❣️ I think these bars turned out BEAUTIFUL! If I pipe, it is ALWAYS a hot mess!😂 I think the cut bars are gorgeous!
The bloppy top looks like clouds. If it didn't have the extra green in it, I'd say perfect 👌! It's still a beautiful soap bar. I'd love to smell the fragrance. Thanks for sharing, even if you feel like it's a fail. I'm sure all soapers have moments like these. ❤
I think you were over critical with this soap. Once you cut it, it looked great. Your vision was to create mountains and it was accomplished. It looks awesome. Keep creating masterpieces
I think it looks buitiful! Should call it stary starry night! ✨️ reminds me of the painting. Reminder to you all we don't make mistakes only happy accidents! 😂😅
Ellen I just had to come on here and tell you I think your soap is amazing Like the sky aspect reminds me of Van Gogh I love the little tufts of clouds Everything about it. Please don’t say it’s a fail. I say a happy accident Sending much love and blessings from Australia 🇦🇺 ❤❤
I was going to ask what you did for your skin, it is BEAUTIFUL! Do you add anything in particular for your face soap? I struggle with acne and would like to make my own face soap, but have no idea where to begin for additives. You are my soap inspiration and I can’t get enough of your videos!!!
Your soap still looks great, you’re an inspiration to watch and listen to. Have you ever made shampoo and conditioner bars using cold process? I remember you made them using Stephsons syndapour melt and pour base. Did your hair like the melt and pour shampoo bars? By the way, your trip sounded wonderful. Thank you for inspirational videos.
I've tried a few CP shampoo's over the years, but we have hard water and my hair ended up feeling tacky after a while. I really liked the MP shampoo base, no build up.
Ellen redo the soap!! Send these bars to eco soap bank and start over now that you know it's slow moving. You can start over and know how long it's going to take for it to start setting up and be prepared to handle the white. Plus you'll be helping eco soap bank in the process!!! These colors are very pretty but I know you can remake it and have it turn out like you want. Maybe just not use TD in the next batch??
It looks beautiful ❤❤❤. Just wanted to ask how much buttermilk powder do you add to soap as I am a new learner? Thank you so much I love all your videos ❤❤❤
Hi Ellen, I'm going to craft event this weekend and setting up but I don't have a logo or name as I don't have a business, so what do I need other then the ingredients of my product on the labels, am I suposed to put a phone number, address ect?
What’s your email Ruth? I have been trying to contact you. I would like to learn to make lotion but don’t know where to buy the products. Thank you God bless

Thanks Karen💚 I had such high hopes for this soap, and then things went sideways...🤣

Thank you so much💚
The soap still looks great! The ‘gloppy’ top makes it look like clouds moving over the mountains.
Agree. That's what I thought.
Thank you💚
I agree. ❤
I could see the first slices of soap you showed us as looking like an interpretation of Starry Night.... I love it
I wouldn't call it a fail at all. Very nice.
Oh, thank you💚
The soap gives me Van Gogh vibes! 😊
⛰️💚
I thought the same thing.
I’m so glad you shared this and I love how you laughed at yourself. So important to be able to have fun with what you are doing. I do like the final product! You are an amazing teacher! 🧼⛰️
You had to tell us that it failed, otherwise we wouldn't have known the difference! 😂 It still looks great!❤
Aww, thank you💚
looks nice. love the bubbles.
Thanks. I'm loving the lather on this one💚
Aw wonderful Ellen, I’m from Scotland & LOVE living here, I never get tired of the scenery! 🙏🏻I’m so happy you enjoyed your visit, your soap still looks beautiful! 😊
Oh goodness, Scotland is beyond beautiful💚
I love it, not your vision, but looks beautiful. Thank you Ellen
Oh thank you!⛰️💚
It’s gorgeous!!! No complaints on my end. I love the soap stamp on the side of the soap that’s ingenious.
Your cruise sounds absolutely lovely!!!
It was so wonderful💚
What?! Downhill?? It’s beautiful!!! I don’t see what you’re seeing. You’re amazing
Still awesome looking , loving those fresh soothing colors❤
It is BEAUTIFUL! It looks like beach pebbles on top. Definitely not a fail
Looks like a starry night. Love it.
Still cute!
I’ve made/had many disappointments in the last 12 years of soaping, those moments definitely keeps you humble!
So true, this was a very humbling top🤣
I think they're beautiful! I love the clouds and tumultuous sky on top :-)
I'd love a soap stamp ,maybe one day!🎉🎉😢
“It’s really kinda special looking” had me laughing. The soap turned out beautiful though. The sky and looming, upper “clouds” turned out great!
Thank you! 😊
Beautiful bar of soap as always,love the green and the mountains of the landscape. The lather looks so good as well 😊xx
The color looks very refreshing! The soap is beautiful ❣️
Thank you for this awesome video - I’m so glad you showed your easier and neater process to get the soap batter into the piping bag. I’ve always struggled with that!
Glad it was helpful!💚
Beautiful bar of soap Ellen, I love the colors and your landscape of sky and mountains. It all turned out wonderful! Soap! ❤😊
Thank you so much!💚
I think they are beautiful!! Looks like starry, starry night over the mountain! My daughter lives in Scotland and I really want to visit there one day!!
It looks just like Moses parting the Red Sea for the Iseralights. It's beautiful!
Love that💚
Not a mess at all!!!! Looks great!!!
I just love I!! So not a fail!! I’m so new and fail daily.. THAT is no fail. My lack patience keeps winning unfortunately
Still beautiful!!!
Aww, thanks💚
I think they are very cool looking, Ive never used palm kernel flakes I just have palm oil.
I think they turned out so nice! The green on the top maybe should have been left out but it's still an awesome looking soap.
I love it! ❤️ Just Beautiful. ❤️
I LOVE THAT TOP, LOL. Messy can look good ❤
I like the swirly sky, the mountains are cute, and the top matches those soap bars. Also, making a mess is fun, sometimes we just need to make a mess
I like that! Sometimes making a mess IS really fun💚
I think the cupcake top gives them character. I think they're way cute... If they lather good and they smell good, then it's not a fail.❤
Thanks! I do love the lather on these💚
Love your videos so much. They're so educational and inspiring.

Thanks! Yes, these could benefit from a "hair cut"💚
Oh my! Still looks beautiful!
I live in Ireland (North) and we are so blessed having easy access to the South of Ireland as well as mainland UK.
Your part of the world is so beautiful💚
The soap look amazing 🤩
Thank you💚

It is extraordinary!
Still looks like a great bar to me ❤ I'm sure it smells sooooo good too. The lather looked like creamy goodness 🧼🫧
Turned out to be great !
Thank you💚
The bloppy top looks like clouds. If it didn't have the extra green in it, I'd say perfect 👌! It's still a beautiful soap bar. I'd love to smell the fragrance. Thanks for sharing, even if you feel like it's a fail. I'm sure all soapers have moments like these. ❤
Thank you! It does smell really good💚

It was a Princess cruise, and it was dreamy💚

I think it looks buitiful! Should call it stary starry night! ✨️ reminds me of the painting. Reminder to you all we don't make mistakes only happy accidents! 😂😅
Side note ellen your sites empty are you done selling =*( ?
Yes, I'm no longer selling retail.
@@EllenRuthSoap Well, we are glad you're still making content! Hugs your a pillar to our community! @EllenRuthSoap
some of the best soaps result from happy accidents; this is one of them
Its still beautiful ❤
Ellen I just had to come on here and tell you I think your soap is amazing
Like the sky aspect reminds me of Van Gogh
I love the little tufts of clouds
Everything about it.
Please don’t say it’s a fail.

Thank you🥰 I use all of my soaps on my face (all the end pieces). For acne prone skin, charcoal, tea tree, different clays, all make great addivites.
@@EllenRuthSoapthank you!!! 😊
Still looks pretty though 😊, I use a new soft toothbrush to clean my fingernails with, works great 😉.
Your soap still looks great, you’re an inspiration to watch and listen to. Have you ever made shampoo and conditioner bars using cold process?

Yes, I'm definitely going to revisit this "vision" design... And learn from my mistake🤣
It looks beautiful ❤❤❤. Just wanted to ask how much buttermilk powder do you add to soap as I am a new learner? Thank you so much I love all your videos ❤❤❤
I use 1-2 tsp per lb of oils, for milk powders.
@@EllenRuthSoap thank you so much♥️♥️ You have a very soothing voice it calms me down when I have anxiety with my soap making
I think it’s a beautiful bar! If you don’t like the top- can you just cut it off?
Looks good to me
Thanks💚
Have you ever made a soap using sweet potato? I would like to see a video with someone using it.
I've done pumpkin puree, but I'd love to do a sweet potato one. I bet the lather would be fabulous.
Ellen I love all your soap videos!! A question: my soap never comes out of the mold smooth. What am I doing wrong? Thank you!🙂
I suggest adding some sodium lactate, it really helps unmolding. Then check you recipe.?
The soap did not come out the way you planned but it still looks good.
Thank you⛰️💚
Hi Ellen, what benefits do you notice by using aloe vera juice? I've been kicking around trying it for a while, and want your take on it.
It has great label appeal, and aloe is fantastic on the skin💚
In the words of Bob Ross we dont make mistakes, they are just happy little accidents lol. still very very pretty though Ellen, Thankyou x
Love Bob Ross! Thanks💚
next time make big 3 loaf soap
I still thought they were beautiful :) But sorry it wasn't what you were hoping for. That is always disappointing
Hi Ellen, I'm going to craft event this weekend and setting up but I don't have a logo or name as I don't have a business, so what do I need other then the ingredients of my product on the labels, am I suposed to put a phone number, address ect?
Bramble Berry and Modern Soapmaking have great articles on labels and requirements.
A starry Scottish night…
Love that💚
Kind of Van Gogh ish
Where was the Epic Fail !!!
That bloppy top🤣
Amazing🥹…
What’s your email Ruth?
I have been trying to contact you.
I would like to learn to make lotion but don’t know where to buy the products.
Thank you
God bless
I have several lotion videos with recipes, and have links in the description box.
@@EllenRuthSoap yes I see that but don’t know where you buy the products.
Is it bulk apothecary?
Ellen could you make a Trump inspired soap? A red white and blue. Flag emoji
Love it🇺🇸
