This soap is beautiful but I wasn't sure what u were doing some of the time... maybe subtitles will be ok... wonderful video... cheers
Thank you! I do need to add subtitles. I am just learning to edit video and it takes me so long. I will try and do that for the next one. Thank you for the feedback. In the meantime, just ask questions if you are not sure what I am doing. Cheers!
I just added a list of supplies and ingredients in the description. Maybe that will help.
I agree
If you watch some of her other videos, she tells what she is doing. It is similar in most videos once you understand the basics of soap making.
As a chemist (and artist), I appreciate the precision .. that's what attracted me to soap making in the 90's, before it was a rage ... no videos were available back then. The process and ingredients and tools have COME TO FAR, elevating this craft nearly to FINE ART!! Just getting back into it after MANY years of not making it .... can't wait to try some of these cool techniques! Thank you for the inspiration and very well-done videos.
This (and the narrated layer soap) was the soap of yours that I used as a tutorial to make my 1st soap, thank you.
I went from watching an artist who has pretty good skills, just not advanced "artist eye", to watching one with the eye and very limited patience for the skills and ended up here...LOVE IT! Nice work Marie!~
Thank you Michelle! That is such a high compliment! I have an art background and love soap design. I hope to share what I have learned with others with the same passion. My name is Teri (Tree and Teri are short for Theresa); nice to meet you. 💖✨
Really enjoyed you mixing those colors on the flat surface. Gorgeous soap! 😊💜🖤
Aww...thank you so much! 😊💖✨
Hi, Teri, I made this soap I followed your detailed instructions to the T. You are very organized and I love that about you. Thank you so much for sharing. Now I'm preparing myself for your next technique silicone impression. thanks!!!!
That is outstanding! Thank you! Good to hear! Happy Soaping!
@@TreeMarieSoapworks Thank you !!!
THIS is a BEAUTIFUL soap. Great job on the video too.
Thank you very much! 😊💝✨

Thank you so much Lorraine! 💖✨
Your art is absolutely beautiful! And I LOVE the precision with which you work!
Thank you so very much Marsha!
@@TreeMarieSoapworks - You are most welcome.
Totally agree
You mix your colors old school. I did it this way 35 years ago painting porcelain! Nice!
Fantastic.
Looking at all your many videos, this is one of my favorite soaps. I just really like the look of it.
Thank you! I do love it too! 💗
You are the best😍😍😍😍😍😍
I watched full video, and even clicked each Add ....JUST TO SUPPORT THIS WONDERFUL TEACHER.....💐💐💐
YOU ALL SHOULD DO THE SAME.....
Thank you! 😊
I always love your color choices. You are so good at choosing amazing color palettes.
Thank you so much, Kimberly! I just love color and spent way too much time thinking about it. Lol! ❣💕
I really like the rustic look of this bar. I have to admit, I prefer the videos that you narrate. You have a very soothing voice!
Thank you, Gwen. I realize that the narrated ones are more valuable. I was still learning with this one. 🤗💕
Really super short and sweet
Thank you!
I'm mesmerized by watching your videos. You are so neat. I love it. Thank you for sharing
O my the way you are mixing colours .. it's just too satisfying can watch all day long . Great soap love love love it
Thank you so much; it's my favorite way to mix colors. 💖✨
Vraiment magnifique, je regarde toutes vos créations qui sont incroyables !!! Bravo 👍. Une admiratrice de Paris
I love the color combos and that tiny line between them. You have a great eye for color.
Thank you so much, Kimberley!
I don’t make soap but I love your videos.
I’m thinking of getting back into candlemaking and a few of your designs are giving me ideas for that.
Oh, thank you! I'm glad you are being inspired! 😊💕
Fantastic technique and color combination---absolutely gorgeous!
Thank you!
Wow...again. Beautiful. I love that you take the time to finish the bevel with the peeler. It really does improve the final look! Looking forward to seeing how you do the bars with the round bubbles in them!
Thank you! 😊
Wonderful
Thank you! Cheers!
Thank you for sharing. Awesome result. Love to see the process and I learned some new techniques from this video.
Thank you so much! 💖✨
Love this
Thank you, Leslie!

Шикарное видео, привет Вам из России
Thanks so much!
🌸😍 Çok güzel 👍🏻
I love love love Cashmere’s!! And this design is superb 😊💖💞
Thank you!!! ✨💖✨
Beautiful soap!
Thank you! 💖
So every part of this Video was Amazing. I love the Fact that you do not speak. But you let your Artistic side show. It’s Glare that you are an Artist and I don’t know why I haven’t seen your channel all this time. Omg!!!!! So Wonderful, Organization is 💯. Great Job! I’m hooked!
Also the Music is 💯 👌🏽. Wow!!!
Can you please tell me the title please (all of them please). I’m going to bed immediately after your video. I’ve been trying to sleep but I’ve been having problems with getting sleep. But Wow. This video and the music put me at peace.
Also can you say the size of your molds. 🙏🏽
Thank you for the Video and your Hard work. It is Appreciated 🙏🏽
That Aesthetic tho!
Thank you so much! The music is from UA-cam, go to Creator Studio Classic, Create, Audio Library, most of these are from Cinematic, Happy or Bright, and make sure and use "Attribution not Required." 😊
Wow!!! You reply so fast. OMG. I’m so happy. Thank you so much. Binge watching 💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽🤸🏽♀️🤸🏽♀️🤸🏽♀️🤸🏽♀️
Talking through your process and what products you use would be helpful. Knowing where to possibly purchase your soaps? I like the fact you are extremely precise. You are also very clean process throughout your video.
I have narrated two of my videos. I am getting a lot of feedback like this. My worry is that if I explain it as I go, the videos will increase in length quite a bit because I speed up almost everything.
I only have a Facebook page to buy soap from. It is a cumbersome process. I mainly just sell my soaps locally. I am taking steps to get a website up and running and then I will promote it.
Thank you for your feedback! 💖✨
Tree Marie Soapworks
Good thinking! Your end product it nice. There is a market for everything I don't doubt there is someone interested in your style.
If you put subtitles you could have a good instructional video. I see people in groups who appreciate step by step broken down into teeny increments helpful.
I've never noticed you using a "planer" on your soaps before. I'm sure you've done it in a ton of video, this is probably from my own oversight. I have noticed the perfectly square edges and how professional your soaps look, it was really nice to see that subtle detail in here.
Question, the black 'mica' lines from the charcoal here. Does this cause the soap to bleed a little black in the shower? I've had this issue recently with charcoal and didn't know what I was doing wrong or if this is standard. Thanks as always.
Beautiful!! Those layers are so pretty!!😍
Thank you very much! 💖
I really liked your video, good light and very clear all you do. I want to say thank you for your beautiful work and your beautiful soap. I will watch it more times because I really love it. Very good idea to separate the lye, I allways rush to do it as it get heavier, so I won't forget your teaching. ( excuse my bad english) congratulations!!!
Thank you so much! 💕
Yay I am the 1,000th like ......why is it so satisfying to see 999 go to 1k
You make it look so easy. Im enjoying the process. Look forward to being able to do some of the challenges.
Beautiful soap. I really enjoyed watching this. Informative and so enjoyable - without words, very relaxing. Thank you so much for sharing your talent!
Thank you so much! 💝
Really enjoy the video and music! The color of my soap swirling is so dumb, not like you color, very rich and light!
Wonderfullllll!
Thank you! 💖
Great job!
Thank you for sharing!
Thank you! 😊
Beautiful and neat !
Thank you! Cheers!
beautiful!
Thank you Amber!
Absolutely love it
Thanks so much!
Beautiful colors! Love this soap going to try this ❤️
You should mention what you are putting and how much the quantities
Nice
Thanks!
You techniques are WONDERFUL 😍 why not blend it to high trace insted of waiting? I'M just a newbie..
Thank you! I just didn't want it to accelerate too fast. Doing it this way, you have a little more control over your trace. I also don't like to stick blend smaller amounts of batter because it tends to introduce lots of air bubbles into the batter. Good luck on your soap making journey! 💟
You are an amazing soap maker and I, as so many others here, love your dedication to detail! I think it is what makes your soap so beautiful! Can you give a link to the wooden soap cutter you use in this video?
I love this layered soap,as a new soaper may I ask why between placing in one colour into mould you place the clear cover on top while you mix your next colour to your liking ??
Thank you Tanya! I place the cover on the top to help the poured batter set up. It helps me to be able to pour the next layer without breaking through.
Tis beautious! !
Thank you Robin!
Beautiful soap! Wow! The music was nice a relaxing too
Thank you! 💕🎶
Hi, I liked your video but had no clue what you were adding and mixing. Thank you from South Africa
Please realize that I was learning to edit video, and this was my 4th one. I have learned a lot since then. Check the description under the video for details. Thank you, Cindy!
Hi! An interesting technique is that you first mixed the oils with the color and titanium dioxide, and only then added the alkali. This is so that the reaction does not start faster than necessary?
Where did you find the spray bottle that you used to disperse the activated charcoal?
This is absolutely amazing work! Thanks for sharing! :)
Thank you so much!
this would be really good in asmr style instead of music we heard all the stirring sounds etc.
As a new soap.maker..it wud hv been nice to know wat u were adding..
I am sorry I didn't label what I was adding. A few other people have said that too. I will try and include that next time. I am just new to video editing and it takes so long to edit, that I decided not to add headings. Check back later. I will add some to the description. Let me know if you have any questions. 💖
@@TreeMarieSoapworks that wud be lovely..thank u so much..i will check back in a couple of days 😁
@@aishachishti6218 I just added all the ingredients and supplies. Hope this helps. 💖
@@TreeMarieSoapworks do you know if there is a vegan option that has the same effect as the cashmere?
Good question, I am sorry I don't know. Are you a member of the Facebook Group Saponification Nation? That would be a good question to ask on there.
Where do you get the spray bottle that you use for your charcoal?
I know this video is old for you, but about the pencil line, about how much activated charcoal is going on that layer? And what did the suction bulb do, blow off excess? I just did pencil lines in a soap and some of my layers split off some of the bars, I assume I used too much... Tips?
I have never measured the amount, but yes, you are right. The bulb syringe is to blow off excess. The mica/charcoal should look wet. I have never had my layers break apart, and I think that is because there is no dryness between my layers.
@@TreeMarieSoapworks ok, I put on too much then 😂 thanks so much for the tip, I planned to do another pencil line but was nervous about a repeat. Luckily I just had a newborn so I've got some extra suction bulbs laying so around.
If you don't mind me asking what type of camera and stand are you using to do your videos? You create your soaps so beautiful. Thank you for sharing your talents with us.

Beautiful! 💗
Thank you! 😊
Nice design. I couldn't understand how you make the separation lines very dark to make colours stand out from one another.
ua-cam.com/video/d6QVr9G2Q0I/v-deo.html This video may help you. I narrated it and you can get captions. It's the same technique only I used a powder sprayer in this current video and a mesh strainer in the narrated video. 🌷
Love these colors and the technique 👌🏼
Question: after you add the charcoal did you spray it with anything to set it before adding next layer of soap? Thanks 💕
No, just make sure there is no loose charcoal on the surface. Blow off any excess.💖
What did you use to spray the activated charcoal? Where can I purchase from. Thanks
Thank you amazing video please can you tell how much fragrance and essentials oil you put in your soap . What is the time frame you cut your soaps
Thank you for your videos. It would be great if you could tell us the names of the ingredients you are using. Thank you!
Thank you, Patricia! I was still learning at the time. I do use headings and narrate now.
What was the bottle kinda thingie u used to put the charcoal powder in the soap
Great video! What is the name of the bottle/tool you use to place the charcoal on the soap?
Thank you! The bottle is called a Powder Sprayer or a Mica Spray Pump.
Two questions... when I watch your videos you always have TD already mixed in a bottle ready to add to any coloring... Is this something that can be done in advance and if so, how long will it last in the squirt bottle. Also, what was that Sprayer you used to add the black powder? Where can it be purchased? Thanks... you are an amazing soap artist. Love your videos!
Thank you, Victoria! When I first started mixing it up like that, I kept it in the fridge, but now I just keep it out because I use it fast enough that it never has time to go bad. If you are worried, just keep it in the fridge. (Just get it out plenty of time before you are ready for it, so it can come to room temperature.) The sprayer is called a powder sprayer from BB or a glitter spray pump from Mad Mica's www.madmicas.com/collections/containers-supplies/products/glitter-spray-pump
www.brambleberry.com/shop-by-product/tools-and-accessories/tools/powder-sprayer/V000779.html
So beautiful! Would love to know the products you are using.
Thank you Cherie! I have listed the products in the description, but you are talking about in the video right? I have started to use headings after this video. I hope to start using voice eventually. Thanks for your feedback! 💖✨
Very Beautiful soap! I was wondering if you mix the soap to different densities or if is just a matter of different colors. They will not melt back together once overlapped?
Hi I really love your video and I'm planning to make my fist soap soon. I HAVE QUICK QUESTIONS hehe which "device" are you using when you making a think black layer? Is it powder or did you mix with any solvent??
It activated charcoall. hth
please, I need to know what do you use to dissolve mika?
Absolutely beautiful. One question, how long do you wait between pouring layers so they don't punch through or bleed together?
You just wait until the previous layer was sent, meaning is doesn't jiggle too much when you bump the mold. It took about 15 minutes, but it depends on the fragrance and other factors.
@@TreeMarieSoapworks sweet. I have a daisy mold I'm using and trying to figure out how long to wait for the center of the flower to dry so the rest of it doesn't bleed.
Hi I love ur video keep me watching till the end, may I ask about what do you do to prevent glycerin happen while you are using much TD, and are you stocking TD in bottle with water? thankyou
Using less water helps to get rid of glycerin rivers. I use '25% water as a percentage of oil weight' in soapcalc. I pre-dilute my TD in olive oil (1 part TD to 3 parts oil). It is tricky to get the specks out completely (I use a blender), but once it's done, you can easily stir it into the batter without stick blending.
@@TreeMarieSoapworks wow, thankyou for ur feedback really appreciate it..
I made a similar soap with mica pencil line. But when I cut it with knife, there's drag mark from the mica lines. Is it because my soap is too soft? or there won't be drag mark if I use wire cutter? I only dusted a really thin layer or mica though. Thanks a lot!!!
I think it should be harder
It would be best if you lay it on the side to cut it; that way, the drag lines are right on top of the line itself.
Oh, you blend it just before to pour to prevent the batter thickens to quick?
Beautiful soap! Thanks for sharing. Can I ask, is there a reason for measuring at an angle?
It is how I divide the loaf evenly with out using any math. The loaf is a little less than 8 inches. I put the zero on one end and the 8 on the other and I get equal pieces if I mark on the inch marks.
Did you refrigerate the soap? Where did the soap go?
Hi! I like it! I could not find the instrument that you used to spread the Activated Charcoal. Can you share the information please? Thanks!
It is called a powder sprayer or a Dry Glitter/Mica Spray Pump. I have bought at Bramble Berry and Mad Micas.
www.madmicas.com/collections/containers-supplies/products/glitter-spray-pump
www.brambleberry.com/shop-by-product/tools-and-accessories/tools/powder-sprayer/V000779.html
Sodium lactate, Can you explain me what Is It for?
Sodium lactate is a natural ingredient. It is a liquid salt made from fermented beets or corn. It has no color. It is used to make the bar harder and last longer. It also helps the soap to release from the mold more easily. Here's a link www.brambleberry.com/shop-by-product/ingredients/additives-and-lye/liquids/sodium-lactate/V000439.html
What took are you using for the pencil line?!
Very interesting as usual. I'looking forward to get a scraping device (13:42) . I saw a few ones on the web but the reviews are very so-so. Do you have any suggestion or link please ?
Quick question... Are you adding lye solution and stick blending then pouring each color or is that clear liquid you stick blend in the fragrance? Thanks for the information you share. Much appreciated by this new soap maker.
The fragrance is known to accelerate, so I added it last.
Beautiful soap…. How long do you wait between layers to pour
رائع وجميل 😚😚😚😚😚😚😚😚😚😚😚
Thank you so much!
beauriful colours. have you been soaping long time?
Thank you! I have been soaping for five years, but I have an art background.
Hermosos, cuánto tiempo tardas entre cada capa??
Why this look like delicious ice cream? I want to eat this stuff😂
Lol! The little specks are ground vanilla bean. 🍨😊
At what temps do you begin to mix your lye water into your oils? I'm struggling with finding the right temps as my batter gets too thick too soon for mixing colors. Thanks!
I use 85-95 degrees F. Not too cold, not too hot. Just make sure you only mix your batter to an emulsion. That will give you more time. Also, make sure your recipe consists of less saturated oils than unsaturated. The number ratio is in the upper right-hand corner of soap calc. Make sure your colors are ready. 👍💕
@@TreeMarieSoapworksThank you!
The way you make your soap is amazing, beautiful. What do you do with shavings after trimming your bars?Great job. Diana W.
Thank you, Diana! I roll most of them into soap balls and use it for hand soap. Did you see my Confetti Soap video? I need to make more into that. 😊💕ua-cam.com/video/Sc_dyiT5P6w/v-deo.html
Hello! After placing the soap in the mold at what temperature do you hold it and how much ? Thanks ☺️
What is that oil you mixed with mica powder ?
Are you able to explain in more detail how you're applying the charcoal pencil line? Are you making a solution and spraying it over each soap layer? Or are you spraying it dry?
It's a dry spray. I use a powder sprayer I got from Bramble Berry.
What is this little scraping stick called? The one that mixes the indigo with the oil?
It's a palette knife used for mixing paints.🎨
