I don’t make soaps, but I’m here for the zen of watching you make them. Haha.
LOL Thank you!!
These videos calm my anxiety lol
You appeared in my recommended feed, probably because I watch Royalty Soaps and Katie tried this technique, too.
Can I just say that I absolutely love how you shoot and narrate your videos? You have such a beautiful and calming voice 🖤
Oh, thank you so much! I really appreciate that. ❤️ Thank you for clicking and watching, too!
An ni omg me too! i loved her video so much i just had to subscribe, guess my youtube’s gonna be filled with more soap vids now 😆
This happened to me to!

Great job! Never thought to use the spacers on the FRONT, too! (duh!)
Beautiful!❤ I am always calmer after watching your soaping videos!😉Thanks for sharing your world with us. Hope all is well with you too🙏
Hi Holly, I stumbled on your videos in my feed and have been glued to your tutorials ever since. I love how your soaps come out, how you shoot and narrate the videos and I just can't stop watching your videos. Can I also say that I just love your style of soaping. You, along with the other handful of soapers I watch are just so inspiring. Note: I pick up habits from the other soapers. My habit from you is when I start to make my soaps I will definitely stick blend and mix the batter with the spatula AND place the spatula in the soap mould before pouring the soap batter in. I'm in my second year of learning and just love to see the wonderful veteran's show their knowledge. Thank you for being here for early soapers like me! 😊
HI, YOUR SOAP MAKING IS SUCH AN ART. I LOVE WATCHING YOU MAKE IT. I HAVE MADE A COUPLE OF BATCHES. BUT I AM STILL A BEGINNER WATCHING OHERS DO THE FACINATING WORK. THANK YOU FOR SHARING.
I’m not a soap maker, but this video is beautiful! Excellent work of art you created !
Thank you so much!!
I love that you included all the different end products you got while working this technique. Lovely soaps!
Thank you!!
When I was little we collected cockles and mussels, Holly your clam shell pouring was so realistic, you always make it look easy but I know it isn’t. You have become my favourite soap maker to watch, your videos are always beautiful. Thank you it is a pleasure to watch you and dream of producing a soap half as good as yours. Take care.
This turned out really nice. It looks like ocean waves to me.
Yeeessss looooovveee itttt! SO smart to mix the clay with water before adding to the batter mix 😮
Thank you Holly for once again giving us a beautiful tutorial. I really like your color choice and the details on the way you achieve them. Stay well and be blessed. 💫
Great job, Holly! It’s beautiful!
Congratulations, Holly! My Hero! 😘💕
Beautiful as always Holly, we can always rely on you to produce a brilliant challenge entry. Love them :-)
Oh, thank you so much, Lisa! That's so kind of you to say.

Lovely clam shell design Holly. Always appreciate your superbly crafted videos!
Thank you so much, Michael!
Wow I loved the colours, the thin trace attempt looked like a storm
I love watching your videos! I’ve learnt a lot from them not only to learn how to do the swirls but also spotting my mistakes and how to fix them for next time.
These are sooooo beautiful....I can't wait to get back to soaping
Thank you so much!
So beautiful. The soap, the editing, you. ☺️
Very beautiful. Watching this video was so relaxing (your voice + music)!

This technique is so beautiful Holly! I love watching Terri's channel too, she does a great job as well. It's so cool the soap looks just like a clam shell, I love watching you guys make beautiful soap! Was this a 2 lb mold? Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful videos as they are so relaxing to watch and listen to. This covid 19 virus is crazy, it's like the whole world stopped! My family and I are doing well and hope your family is too. Stay well my soapmaking friend and God speed to you and everyone on here reading these comments. 💞
Thank you so much! I'm glad to hear you and your family are doing well. ❤️
I completely forgot to mention the mold size in the video or description. Thank you for mentioning it! Yes, this was a little 2 lb mold. I can usually get 5 regular size bars out of it.

Although they all look fantastic, I tend to favor the middle batch with super wispy feathery features. I think you called it a thicker trace. 👍👍
I love watching your videos, they are so relaxing and you have such a soft, gentle voice and manner, as lovely as the soaps you make
Just subscribed :-)
