Making Silver Lining Cold Process Landscape Soap with the Sculpted Layers Technique
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 ต.ค. 2024
- I made this soap in collaboration with 91 other members of the Soap Challenge Club as my "entry" for the #secretsoapchallenge in honor of Amy Warden.
There was no official challenge this month as Amy is battling cancer and had surgery. However, several other members took charge and organized for everyone to make a special soap for Amy with a message to show her our support during this difficult time.
I decided on this design, which I named Silver Lining, because I wanted to wish Amy for the sun's rays to break through the storm she's facing and shine for her from here on forward.
The soap developed some glycerin rivers in it, but these just added to the charm of it. The layers with storm clouds got outlines and a bit of texture and as someone else pointed out, the sun has a sort of halo effect around the rays, too.

@@trishak9911 Thank you very much! I appreciate your order!!!
Nice soap
Please can you tell me the ingredients for washing soap and bathing soap.
Or it's the same ingredients
This is one of those times when I wish they had a love button instead of like. I am new to making soap and this was truly inspiring.
Thank you so much! This is so sweet, you just made my day! 😊💕
Beautiful!!
I saw a sunrise above the mountains in it. When you wrote thunder clouds l was truly surprised. But it is stunning either or.
Thank you very much! It could definitely be either, I do see it too! 😊💕
I saw mountains too!
Me too! Especially that the closest is black
Truly spectacular soap. It is my all-time favorite from the hundreds that I've drawn inspiration from. Thank you so much for sharing!
Oh, wow! Thank you so much, Karen! I am so happy to hear that you enjoyed it!
This is one of the coolest videos I’ve seen recently!
This is my first time ever watching soap being made like this. I truly enjoyed the process. At first I could not imagine how the layers were being formed and as I watched I realized just how creative an artist you are. The details that show in each layer show the passion you have for your craft.
🥰
This makes me so happy! Thank you for taking the time to write such a lovely comment... it means a lot! 💖😊
And I am really glad that you enjoyed watching my video!
Such beautiful soap! Thank you for sharing! Editing to add this. I just read that you made this to honor Amy Warden and encourage her as she battles cancer. This is such a precious gift. The image of the dawn of a beautiful new day. Perfect for someone who seeks a new, healthy beginning!
Thank you so much! I greatly appreciate your kind words 💖
Absolutely brilliant

Cool videos. Please continue to show us good videos. It's a beautiful soap.
Aww, thank you! I plan on it, I just need a little time to figure it all out and get going. I do have a video filmed that I am working on editing at the moment, it should be up soon. Thanks for watching!
Brilliantly made
Thank you kindly!

Great tutorial. Thanks!
You're welcome!
Thank you so much for sharing how you did the sun. You have introduced a new dimension to me, ie. using cut scrapers to create designs. AND not only is the soap beautiful but so is the music. thanks again.
Thank you Barbara! You should try it, it's definitely one of my favorite techniques! I'd love to see yours if you do. And thank you so much for the sweet comment 💕
Stunning soap! I love your talent, simply amazing!! 💙💙
I came (here thanks to TH-cam recommendation feed), I saw and I subscribed! Truly amazingly beautiful soap, and I’m really happy it came up in my TH-cam recommendations just now!
Thanks so much for stopping by! This brought a smile to my face, I really appreciate your kind words! 😊💕
Beautiful and amazing job! You are the neatest soaper I've ever watched! I don't think you spilled or flicked any batter anywhere! 👍👍👍
You must have missed some parts of the video! 😂 But thanks, I try to keep everything organized, especially when filming. Thank you for watching!
That’s lovely! Really creative and very well crafted 🥰👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks so much 😊
this is so pretty!!!!!! It looks like an illustration from a fairy tale book, so beautiful.
I'm so glad that you like it! Thank you so much for your lovely comment, it warms my heart 😊💕
I think this is the most breathtaking soap i have ever seen!!! 😍
Aww, thanks a million times for this! 💕
That was absolutely stunning. So much time and such a labor of love. I am just amazed at how beautiful that turned out. Great job.
Thank you Renee, I appreciate your kind words!
Absolutely stunning!
Thank you so much!
This one is amazing! Subscribed. Also I hope you get well soon Amy!
Thanks so much, Jim! I appreciate your kind words. 😊
This is the most relaxing soaping creation. Great job indeed!
Thank you so much!
Hello love! This is gorgeous!! Great job! Praying for Amy!
Thank you! I appreciate it 💕
What a lovely tribute, the end message was beautiful. It would be great to see the cut of the soap rather than just a picture as it always makes me think the rest of the bars maybe didn't turn out so well, when you only get to see one of them properly in a photo. Seeing the cut is always an exciting bit to witness.
Thank you for the feedback. With this technique, the bars turn out to be nearly identical, unlike with swirls and such
awesome!
Thanks!
That is SO cool!!!! Absolutely amazing! I love it!!!!
I'm so glad, thank you!
Great great great💕
Thank you so much!
Looks great. I also would've liked to see you unmold it, and cut it up though. Other than that, it was a good video.
Thanks! I promise to show the cutting in the next video! 😊
I found your channel recently and I've been watching all the videos. I didn't know you could make such things with soap, i love it! Keep up the good work! 💕
Thank you so much! I'll do my best :)
WOW
Thanks!
Amazing soap, and i love how neat you worked! New subscriber here :)
Aww, thank you! I really do appreciate it and am so glad to have you here!
It's just beautiful, Marina!! Thank you so much for creating this amazing design and sharing your technique! I'm so blessed!! ♥️
Aww, thanks a lot Amy. I'm so honored you like it! If it wasn't for the challenge club, I doubt this would be here today. It was the push and encouragement that I needed to take better photos, learn how to edit them, learn how to make videos, open social media accounts to share with others and be able to express myself through the techniques that were taught. I appreciate all that you do for us! 😙💕
Amy Warden I wish you well during this journey and pray that God will never leave your side. 🎗🙏🏽
It looks like mountains
That's one perspective 😊💕
I saw your soap on Tree Marie FB and was totally bowled over by it!!! So glad to have found you on here. Such a lovely thing you have all done for Amy :) xxx
Thank you so much! I appreciate it!
Oh WOW, this soap is increadible. All videos so far are really great and high quality! I would really love to learn to make the scrapers (to be honest I would buy them from you if you decide to start selling them) :)
Thank you so much! I will think about how I can make this possible. I appreciate it!
How it takes to make these? incredible beautiful
How long? Usually 2-4 days per design and then a minimum of one month to cure :)
This is the first time I see this methods, it's amazing
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed this.
OMG it is so amazing, congrats. I have a question, you did one part in one day and the other part tne next day so how it get together? I tough when you cut it will separate or something, so how do you do that? Thank you.
Thank you! No, it doesn't separate. I covered it with plastic wrap for the night but that was all. If it hasn't cured for long, the soap usually will not reject the next layers. I also oven processed it, so perhaps this heats the soap and helps it all stick? The only time I had layers separate was when I made a mica line too thick.
I was wondering that same thing. Thank you so much for clearing that up. Now I am not so scared about that part after all.
wow, you are really a master in this technic! I put my head down for those incredible work and soap ❤️ Thanks for sharing, Tina
Tina, thank you for watching! I am so happy you enjoyed it 😙💕
Beautiful! How did you create the scrapers? Did you use a machine? The sun rays scraper looks great!
So glad you enjoyed this!
Where will i be able to purchase those stencils from. These are pretty cool. I am planning to start a custom soap business. And these looks pretty good
I make them myself 😊
Creamy Obsession what is the stensil made of. Do you sell sentcils. How much are they.
This is a great tutorial as well as such a beautiful bar and the technique is fun to watch. Blessings to you 💫
Thank you so much! Blessings to you too!
i love how you always manage to use most of the soap 'batter' you've prepared so there's no soap being unused or wasted. I've seen a lot of soap makers on youtube that left their soap 'batter' unused and just bring them out of camera frame which is so unsatisfying to watch 😂
sorry for the broken english, i hope you understand what i mean🤭
Thank you! Your English is perfect, I understand 😊
I don't always show it on camera, but I always try to use every drop. If it doesn't go into the mold, it goes into individual cavity mold. Even the excess that I scrape out from each layer gets used... I usually put it in piping bags and pipe flowers for future soap!
Thanks so much for stopping by, I'm glad that you enjoyed the video 💕
I've been watching cold process soap makers for a long time, and this is a whole new style to me! I never would have thought of it, and I love it! Absolutely beautiful soaps! And not a bunch of talking. Perfect. I agree I would also have liked to have seen at least one piece being cut.
Thank you so much! Obviously I can't edit this one and re-upload it, but I did start adding the cutting to my new videos.
Definitely mountains, not thunderclouds. Still pretty cool tho.
Thanks!
Do you do tallow based soaps?
No, I haven't tried tallow but maybe some day!
How do you not get bubbles with those tiny spikes?
The batter had to be super thin and runny, and I poured it from one side to the other to allow the air room to escape. I also banged out the few bubbles that were trapped in there. 😊
It's gorgeous! So it's that ok to microwave the batter if it is over trace?
It depends, really. In my particular instance, my soap batter got a little thick because it was too cool. Therefore, microwaving it helped to loosen the batter by melting the solid butters that were solidifying. In another instance, if the batter is tracing quickly because you're soaping too warm, you could end up hot processing it if you microwave it. I hope that this helps!
@@CreamyObsession Learned something new! Thank you so much 🥰
Magnificent! Oh, the work! Labor of love
Thanqu for sharing. 👋💣💯❤👍
Thank you!! So glad you enjoyed this 😊
Hi there. Greetings from Pretoria, South Africa. May I ask where you purchased your soap scraper from?
Hi there! I make these myself.
SoapStencils.com
Thank you very much. Will check it out. I do hope you ship to South Africa
I came here from tree Maria's soap work facebook group...... My God that Moaning werewolf was awesome ....Which made me subscribe , like and watch every single video on your channel....Stunning .....
Welcome aboard! This makes me so happy to hear. The video of the wolf is now up as well, check it out!
Wow I am in awe of this soap, it is absolutely gorgeous. May I ask how long it took you to make it, the time between layers?
Thank you! I waited from 20 minutes to a couple hours in between pouring the layers and scraping them. It depends on the color, and how thick the trace was at the time of the pour. Overall, it took me 2 days to complete all the pours but I had stopped halfway through and finished the next day.
Really beautiful. I subscribed. I hope you make many more videos. I can't wait to watch them!
Awe, thank you so much! I really appreciate your kind words! I will definitely try, and have a couple more coming soon 😊
This is so great! I love whole conception and colors too. And Your music is great as well! ❤️
Thank you so much! Means a lot to me 💕
What an awesome template. I had wondered how you got the I’m doing so amazing
Thanks! I'm so glad that you like it!
Heyy I heard that if you let the soap set too much between each layer, it will have a hard time sticking together... Can you share on how you do yours since you need 2 days to do this soap?
I oven process mine (cpop). This melts the layers together, I assume, and I've never had one reject the other or any sort of separation. Hope this helps!
@@CreamyObsession thanks for the tips!! ❤️
For me it's all in the cutting. Fab soap darling but would have enjoyed seeing the cutting
Thank you for your feedback.
Wow! Amazing. It's a lot of work. Can you post the reciepi please? The measurements I mean.
Thanks! This design will work with just about any soap recipe.
That may have been the most intricate, detailed and absolutely beautiful soap I have seen to date. Your process and video presentation was the most amazing experience! From the music, description of each process, even the video speed was outstanding... It took me to another place that felt warm and safe, I didn't want it to end!! Kudo's to you and thank you so very much for sharing.. you are truly an inspiration.. again my sincerest appreciation.
Aww... this just made my heart melt. Thank you so much for your sweet words, I am so happy to hear that you were able to enjoy my video! Thank you a million times ! 😊💕

How do you go about deciding how much soap to make for each layer? I have tried these a couple of times and I don’t seem to be able to get it right. I know I’m supposed to mix each layer separately so that the last layer is just as fluid as the first was, but I’m struggling with the amount for each layer. Is it just trial and error basically or do you have a system? Thanks in advance! I love your vids 😁👏🏻👍🏻
I don't mix each layer separately, just whisk the main batch to an emulsion instead of blending to a trace. Sometimes I do make several batches, but each one normally makes a few layers. You could calculate the percentage of the total batch that each layer takes up, but I prefer to eyeball it. I can usually guess approximately how much I need to split off.
Does the lye get fully incorporated when you hand mix? Like When you split off a batch like that before blending it, ever mess with the ratio? Like on parts lye heavy some more oil heavy?
Just asking as someone who's really curious. I absolutely love your soap!
It does get fully incorporated. I don't show on video, but I mix by hand for 5-10 minutes before immediately splitting off a portion. Then I use the blender in each portion. I also mix again thoroughly each time before pouring off more. This just helps me keep it fluid enough to work with it. I do test with pH strips, and have never had an issue yet.
Your soaps always beautiful, it like an artwork. 😊
But how each layer of soap don't seperate once you wait until it set first before you pour next layers?
I saw some failures from other soap maker that each layers of soap they don't stick together.
Thank you! This is cold process soap, so it isn't as prone to separating as melt and pour soap. Also, oven processing when I am finished with it helps to meld all of the layers together as well. I don't have any issues with separation this way :)
❤❤ I appreciate that you made a mistake with the second scraper, I could only imagine what you were saying😂😂
Haha, thanks! I usually shut down if something isn't working out for me and become hyper focused!
Very interesting technique. This is actually how very ornate and detailed architectural moldings used to be made using plaster. The plaster would be poured in a long mold similar to the soap mold you are using. As the plaster would begin to set up they would run a steel stencil down the mold to create the relief much the same way you are doing with the plastic stencils. Definitely an interesting technique and one I would like to try. Thank you for sharing your video.
Oh wow, I didn't know this. Thanks for sharing, I learned something new today! :)
Nueva suscriptora! Que hermosos diseños!! 👏👏🙋🇲🇽😊
Oh wow, thank you so much!
Hello from Mexico!! What kind of soap you use? It is glicerin? Because mine gets hard tooooooo fast :( is not like yours
No, this isn't glycerin/melt and pour soap. I use the cold process method and my base is my recipe of oils and butters that I add lye to, to make traditional soap.
I dont understand the science behind these soaps. How can the soap in the mould was almost harden/thicken but the the same batch in the mixing bowl wasnt? How did you do that?
The batter in the bowl wasn't blended to a trace, just stirred to an emulsion by hand, so it took longer to thicken. Also, I didn't add fragrance to the batter in the bowl, I added that last the the individual sections after adding the color and before pouring. Fragrance oils tend to speed things up
Creamy Obsession thank you for the explanation. I CANT WAIT TO MAKE MY OWN SOAPS ♥️♥️♥️
Hello, your bath is very beautiful, I made a similar one but with a different technique.
Thank you! 😊
This is a beautiful soap, and such a lovely thought for Amy.
Thank you! So glad you like it ❤
Thank you so much for sharing the making of by far one of the most beautiful soaps I have ever seen! Amazing talent ❤️
Oh wow, thank you so very much!! I appreciate your lovely feedback 💕
Amazing design! You are very creative! Thank You!
Thank you! 😊
This is absolutely lovely! I love it when I learn to make new tools too. Thank you for sharing this creation with us. Amazing.
Aww, thank you so much! I appreciate this :)
Are you making a soap or preparing for art exhibition? 🙂 I admire your patience and creativity!
Just doing what I love :) Thank you kindly!
Please list the music you use as well!
Thank you, I will try to keep this in mind!
Beautiful soap do u preheat and turn oven off and just let it set in stove over night.
Yes, I preheat the oven and put the soap inside. I turn the oven off but do leave the oven light on overnight.
How many lbs. of soap does this mold hold? You are an absolutely wonderful artist!
This is a standard 5 lb loaf mold mold :)

Bravo 👏. May i ask you how can i know the midlle trace ? Thank you
I like to bring the soap to a thicker consistently but also have it at the point where it will pour easily. I don't want it to be runny, nor too thick to have to scoop it into the mold. I hope that explains it?
HI, a question: did you wait a day to do the second part? thanks for answer.
Yes, I did! You could make this design in a day, too, but it was late for me.
After your oven reached 170 did you turn it off or did you leave it on with the soap all night?
I turned it off after about 15 minutes and just left the oven light on through the night.
Genius idea to microwave the batter. Thank you for sharing! How many times this has happened to me! Drives me mad, thank you again for such an easy solution.
I thought my soap cooled down a bit too much, so I tried it. This was my first time doing this but I definitely am someone who loves to experiment spontaneously! 😂 Thanks a lot for watching!
Creamy Obsession and there is me that calculates each layer and adds separate the lye, still sometimes it turns to hell when i need fluid soap the most! Genius. Thanks for the fall back strategy 😃
I rarely bother with all the calculations. As long as I hand mix and add fragrance separately, I have had my batter stay fluid for as long as 15 hours at a time (12 layer soap in one go). Honestly though, I hate the thought of all those dishes more than the calculations themselves!
Creamy Obsession wow, 15hrs! No way. What i do, i usually clean the pot like you do and re use it. But honestly i learned that cleaning method from idreaminsoap Lisa, and just few months ago. I don’t want to think how my pipes look. Brrr. Soapers are best!
How were you able to get the layers to adhere together after waiting until the next day??!
I CPOP the soap once I am finished, meaning I oven process the loaf in a preheated oven at 170 degrees Fahrenheit (turned off after 10 minutes) and leave the soap in the warm oven overnight. I've never had issues with separation. Once, I poured the last layer into a soap a month later! 😆 I don't recommend waiting that long, usually try to complete my design within a few days.
Wonderful! Thank you for sharing!!!
You are so welcome! Thanks for watching!
Wow! I don't make soap, but I'm subbing.
Aww, thanks! I appreciate it 💕
Art in soap. Lead on sister. Love your work. I am envious.
Thank you! 😊 I appreciate it!
What do you do with leftovers? You produce too much waste for me to enjoy. You also don’t use all the mix you make and just leave it in the cup. Very unsatisfying.
I was making several batches at the same time off camera, and they accounted for most of the soap batter. Whatever is left over after scraping gets put into individual cavity molds or is piped into flowers for future soaps. None goes to waste!
Creamy Obsession Thank you for clearing that up 🥺 I feel better now. Great video!
Nice video and love your soap design. Cheers.
Thank you very much!
Wow! Beautiful soap.
You got so much patience.
🎉👏😍🙌
Thank you! It is time consuming but I love every minute!
A glorious result and well deserved for your commitment of tenacity! ~ May I inquire what you do with your soaps? Possibly this is simply for art, a labor of love... Apologies, unfamiliar with your noted program yet pleased your video popped up for viewing. ~ Happy Soaping!
Soaping is my outlet for unwinding and allows me to be creative. I enjoy every minute! I have had an etsy shop prior but at the moment am working on my own website to sell these. I'm still new around here, this is just my third video but I am working on a few more. I'm glad you enjoyed this one and thank you for your sweet compliment! 😊
C'est magnifique ou trouve ton le matériel pour faire les formes svp
Thank you!
How many kilograms of soap is needed?
That depends on your mold size and recipe.
Can I use melt and pour soap to create these designs?
No, melt and pour requires completely different techniques than cold process soap. It behaves very differently!
