Beautiful ! miss your videos ! hope you are still exploring soap and polymer ! Thank you for making the videos Ellen
Thanks...I am, although most recently I'm really into quilting!
Oh it's beautiful
Thanks Karen!
Magnifico bravo bravo
Lo voy a hacer me gusto mucho que Dios le bendiga siempre tan bien explicado cuídese.
Muchas gracias. Dejame saber como te va.
Well done, Kevin More than “ok” - they are sensational : ) Very similar to my own style, in fact - right down to the oval moulds, which I’ve been using for many years - albeit they weren’t available as soap moulds then
NB: ‘mould’ is the correct spelling,in case you are wondering, albeit I know American ‘English’ is different ;);) Mold, to us, is the growing stuff - either good or bad depending : ))
I love the many facets of Kevin Devine.
Creo que muy bien, anoche lo hice mañana te comento Gracias again
Love the idea of the sparkle and sea salt. Pretty
Thanks!
Please do some more videos! I miss them! ❤️
I don't have any plans for restarting videos...but who knows.
Very nice... those colors are beautiful with the sparkle.
Thanks!
They turned out lovely!
Thanks!
These turned out so beautiful! Very luxurious looking.
Thank you!
Those colors! The sparkle!! What a pretty soap, Kevin!
Thanks! I was very happy with the salt mixed with the Sparkle Me Pretty...they're like little diamonds
You made that look so easy. Love the colors, tropical spa.
Thanks!
Very pretty! Hiw many ounces did you use in your recipe in that mold ? Im gotta buy one now since i saw your video
Please make more videos
Thanks, unfortunate;y I don't have any plans to make more videos at present.
you are so creative. I love your videos. Thanks for sharing!!
Thanks so much!
I love your videos!!! Thanks for inspiring me!
Thanks very much!
I love the way those turned out. At first, I was like, No Don't Swirl It! But then it looked fantastic when you did the swirl. I have that mold. But had never thought about using it for a facial bar. You made a beautiful soap Kevin - Maggie Anderson
Thanks very much!
Ooh, those bars came out lovely!
Thank you!
I just love these. I have the same mold and did I basically the same thing but was too afraid to swirl it. Now I’m inspired to give it a try. Thanks once again for a job well done
Great!
Where did you go? Any new videos in the works? Hope to see you back soon!
I'm still alive :) I've pretty much stopped making videos - spending the time actually making things/crafting.
I was wondering the same thing :(
So pretty! I love the salt and sparkles mixed together. Might have to try that myself some time ☺
Thanks!
very beautiful!
Thank you!
Beautifull!!Kevin just gorgeous i love it👌👌
Very cool! About how much do those soaps weigh? I like a 5 0z bar personally. Like the shape of that mold , just courious thanks kevin...fun video!
they range (at the moment) from 4.3 to 4.7 oz
Kevin Devine thanks kevin, kind of wish they were just a tad bigger
seguimos en espera de sus video espero que este bien y feliz reciba un fuerte abrazo
Very pretty
Thanks!
The bars look Great! I've been using the aloe vera powder and its a great additive. Suggestion you could try a different salt next. But i do love your idea with the salt rolled in the mica.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it.
Hi is sodium lactate mandatory for aloe powder ?
Kevin, I REALLY like those! They are so lovely. I bet they will be awesome to bathe with. I'm definitely going to make those.
Great, thanks!
Where did you go Kevin?? We miss you. 😞💗
No plans for any upcoming videos, I've cut back significantly...moving on to other crafts.
@@ozymndius Well that's sad for us. Are they crafts you will eventually share with us? You are so easy to listen to, and, such a great teacher. I would still watch no matter what the craft is. I'm a multi crafter as well. I'm just not good at most of them. Lol
I really miss your wonderful tutorials. I hope you come back to us one day. 💗
Kevin I really enjoyed your approach to soap making. Thank you for sharing. I understand that you are not doing videos any longer and just wanted to let you know that I miss them.
No hemos escuchado de ti. For such a long time
Where have you gone? Are you making soap any more?
Not really. I've been teaching soap making class from time to time but not really making much soap myself.
Kevin I’m doing this recipe now but don’t see how much sea salt to add?
Lynn Keiter it’s just decorative on top of the soap, so just a big pinch or so.
Where did you go??
Still around, but I stopped making videos and am really just spending time actually making things, moved on to quilting of late.
Thanks for another fun video Kevin. I too, just discovered some Aloe powder I had purchased several months ago and forgot about!
I would love to hear about the soap after it cures...maybe a note at the bottom of your info above? Can you feel a difference using the soap with Aloe powder in it? How did the Dead Sea Salts do - any changes to them? (I have used DS salt at 5% in my PH salt bars and they left white spots throughout the soap, as they just don't saponify....I know that is not on issue on top, but you mentioned them collecting moisture, so I wonder if they were weepy....)
Thank you again for the wonderful video!
Sly
That initial mositure seems to be it as far as the salt goes, they are curing in my kitchen and I've seen no additional moisture. Because I'm impatient I do have one in the shower...I used it this morning in fact. I feels slightly more silkier than my other soaps...although I will say that could be completely my own perception and I am biased since I know the aloe powder is in there. :) But those dead sea salts sure do look pretty on top of the soap :)
I'm sure they are gorgeous! I dusted some PH salt with snowflake sparkle mica last summer and they were quite lovely - the pink really shined through too.
Thanks for the update!
Sly
This video inspired me to make a soap using this additive. I can't wait to try it out. This turned out lovely. Did you notice a change in the lather on your soap?
Glad you enjoyed it, I really liked these bars in the shower, they felt very luxurious!
Seguimos esperando sus videos
Los extraño
Espero que este muy bien con salud y contento
😔😔😔
muchas gracias. Realmente he dejado de hacer videos y me he estado enfocando en hacer cosas. Últimamente estoy realmente en acolchado. ¡Gracias por pensar en mi!
Ok thanks for your patience ....watched again and saw that ! Just finished but wasn’t able to keep the colors from running into each other haha...still pretty after the swirl . One other question about the TD w/ water ...how much water to TD and does it need to be fresh every time you go to use it? Or can you leave it sit for some days and still use it?Ive tried that and it’s hard on the bottom and speckles...🙁
Lynn Keiter I leave my TD pre mixed and have never really had an issue, I can’t give you exact amounts...I usually fill the bottle 3/4 with powder then add enough weather so it’s thin but not too thin. I added a couple of quarters to my bottle so they help break up the TD when it clumps.
The 200:1 aloe powder negates the need for aloe gel/liquid. I use the powder, your liquid weight divided by 199 gives you your aloe powder weight. Personally I find aloe powder better than gel/liquid, there's a much more noticeable silky feeling after bathing or showering and when added to lotions and moisturisers it helps inhibit greasiness providing a more powdery finish instead.
I don't use aloe vera gel, it's aloe vera liquid from Bramble Berry...which probably was overkill with the powder, but my "norm" is to add the aloe vera liquid and sodium lactate...but I definitely could have omitted the liquid. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Isn’t it wonderful to be the catalyst for so much knowledge Great info thanks
Kevin how much water to TD do you use in a squirt bottle?
I can't give you an exact answer. I normally fill the bottle up about 3/4 with powder (not tightly packed) and then fill it up with water.
Kevin , what super fat did you use for this recipe ?
5%
Hiii are you alivie we have not hear from you
I am, I've just cut back quite a bit on soap making and making videos, but I'm still around, thanks for thinking of me!
Hi Kevin. I have been watching your videos for a long time and love your presentation. Will you introduce your cats to us sometime. They seem to love you too. Darlene
Hey Darlene, thanks for the comment...you don't have to ask me twice, I love my kitties. I'll try to capture them on an upcoming video.
?
We miss you !!!!
Are you alright?? I hope so take care
How nice of you to ask! I'm fine, just not really doing any videos...taking a break for a bit.
We are missing your videos-hope all is well with you?
Thanks, I just cut way back on making soap and videos. I closed my online shop (not that I sold very much anyway).
I'm in Australia! It's a shame you had to close your online shop! I'm going to say though, your soap designs, formulas etc. are just superb! Hope you still keep up with your skills! Thanks for sharing your greatness! xxx
For people not familiar with soap making, please watch a different video to learn the basics. The soap doesn't need to sit to thicken, he should have just stick blended longer to get a former trace. Also don't put you fragrance in before you lye solution. This can cause all kinds of issues especially when soaping with liquids above room temp as if it's too hot you run the risk of burning the fragrance off. It's best to add most additives like these after the lye and oils have been emulsified (usually at a light trace) then once added bring the soap batter to the level of trace you want for pouring
For people not familiar with soap making I have lots and lots of videos for you to watch and learn from...or ask one of my 22,000+ subscribers how much they have learned from my videos...then go see how many soap videos Brooke Flinn has made and see who you'd rather listen to. I let the soap sit to thicken because I was cleaning up, I certainly could have continued to stick blend it but there was no need to stand there for minutes with my stick blender running when I could just let the soap sit while I did other things. Your comment about fragrance "burning" if added to oils before the lye is totally wrong. The lye is present in the soap mixture while the soaponification process progresses which takes 24-48 hours to complete, so your understanding of the actual chemistry is incorrect. I have made thousands of bars of soap over many years, I am 100% confident that this video represents an excellent quality soap making process.
You are the BOMB!! P.S. I tried your dice bath bombs! Was fun LOL! Check out my Facebook or Instagram- Nauti Gal Soaps
Thanks very much!
