Gorgeous, Teri! I LOVE all the details and tips you provide in your videos because I learn so much. Thank you for sharing and your time in putting these together. 💜
Thanks for saying so. I love hearing from you! 😘💕✨️
love watching your vides. you really put your all into your soapmaking. keep up the good work.
Your time and patience spent on layering this soap is amazing to me. I would have given up and thrown some of “extra “ batter away. I so enjoy the information you share 😀
I always enjoy watching you work. You have an attention to detail more then anyone else I have watched. You are the only one that I have seen that goes back to fill in any missing soap and make it look perfect.
Wow, thank you! I am guessing you have attention to detail too. A little time and care can turn it into something your proud of. I enjoy the process too.💕
I used to help a friend make soap, it was her business, like 20 years ago. How things changed! I have to say you are amazing!
Love your work!!! Personally, I'd love to better understand the properties each type of oil brings to the recipe and what ranges are desirable. I've often wished SoapCalc would assign ranges as they do for qualities like hardness, cleansing, etc. You touched on it in this video and I'd love for you to cover the topic in more detail in a future video. Also, perhaps how you approach creating a recipe from most important qualities to least important. Also, I enjoyed how you showed some of your fails. It made me feel better about my own.
New to soap making. Working currently with melt and pour. When I view your videos and others with cold process, I can see that it doesn’t start setting up for y’all as fast as a melt and pour. Still a long way from your expertise. Yes I like making it look perfect, too. Questions? Where do I start. Looking at plenty of tutorials. How do you know how much oils to add? How much lye per soap? How much scent? Soap for dummies here😂… so yes I am on a journey for knowledge. I am subscribed and loved this design! Keep them coming.❤
You are definately a perfectionist! Your soaps are beautiful! Thank you for sharing your knowledge
Functional art. Love it! Your attention to detail goes above and beyond and yr soaps always look so perfect. Leant a lot from your vids. Many thanks ❤️
These soaps are breathtaking!! I'd love to see you do more using Belinda's soap scrapers, or even something from the soap challenges from Amy Warden!! I love to watch art in soap, and you do them very well with some great pointers. Thank you so much!! 💞
I didn't know you should not use indigo with palm, very intriguing. Though I do not use palm anyway, the soaps are beautiful!
Oh thank you, Glenda! 💖
I've never used indigo before in my CP soaps. I do use palm in some of my bars. Why should you not use them together? I couldn't find any info on it other than possible discoloration. I enjoy learning about the chemistry. My husband calls me a mad scientist lol. Love your videos!
I thoroughly enjoy your videos. I've been making soap for 6+ years. I began with hot process and have ventured into cold process so I appreciate the knowledge you share.
You make it look so easy. It’s not easy. 😮
I was so excited to see a new video of yours. I love your calm manner and your enthusiasm for perfection. You are so skilled at fixing the imperfections and making them perfect. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. Love from Australia xx
I do not make soap, but I am a creator who enjoys your videos so much.
Thank you, Melissa! I'm so glad to you're here! 💖
The way you fix your soap bars has something satisfying 🙂
Thanks, Rachel! 💕
This is beautiful! Thank you so much for posting this video. It's great to see what you learned and how you would correct your mistakes.
Your videos didn't pop up for me on my front page for quite a while so I haven't watched your new videos in a bit but I'm so glad to watch you again! I absolutely love your videos, they're really calming for me to watch and you're so good at explaining things.
I always love seeing new techniques to make designs! I've never seen these layer shapers and it's so cool to see them in action
hi sweet heart
it is so nice to watch your videos again .
i loved the technic and the colours .
wishing you all success.
💖
Thank you so much for your explanation on the saturated and unsaturated #. I always learn something from you❣️
Love your soap video with all the details and perfection
Thank you! Cheers!
Hi! New subscriber here! I'm from Chile 🇨🇱 and I'm amazed by the soap world! Three days ago I discovered that we can turn used cooking oil into soap (for clothes, etc) and now I'm dreaming about doing all kinds of soaps 😂 yours are soooo beautiful!! I'm definitely staying here!
I really enjoy your content! I love your how to videos. As a reply to your question for videos, I would enjoy seeing how you test your colors!
I love your video, Teri, and all the work you put into teaching and giving tips and tricks. I've learned so much over the years. I, too, enjoy cleaning up each bar as it's therapeutic to me. These are gorgeous!
Beautiful!
It’s my 1st viewing and I’m happy to be here! I’m new to soap making and pray to be at this level one day
Great video Teri … I loved that challenge and l love sculpted layers … thanks for sharing your tips too 🧼🧼🧼🐝
Love your soap and I really appreciate that you share you knowledge and techniques. Thank you.
I'm so glad! Thank you! 😊
Very pretty
I get so excited every time I see a video from you!
Aww, good to hear! Thank you!
I like making soaps and I like art, you are making both 🙏🏻🙏🏻 thanks for sharing
Thanks so much 😊
Hi Marie, you are a world of information. I would love a video on calculating FO based on batch size. I only make soap for my family but I always feel unsure if I’m using the right amount. Also the information you gave was nice and would like to know more about the properties of oils. I subscribed to your channel. You are truly amazing!
So beautiful!!!
Thank you! 💙
This is a fabulous video, Terrie--full of your usual meticulous detail and priceless insights. I enjoy all of your videos and have learned so much from you! This one makes the scraper technique seem a lot less intimidating than others I have seen. I've been very reluctant to try scraping, but I think that watching this video very carefully another time or two could help me feel confident enough to try it. You're a first-rate teacher. Thank you for the time and care you devote to helping us all learn to be better soap makers!
Good to hear, Ann. It is time-consuming and takes patience, but it's so worth it! I hope you try it! 😊💕
Fantastic. Real artistry.
Hi Terry I wanted to let you know that I learn a lot from your videos and I value your time to take for us to teaching us. I wanted to give a little advice when using acrylic mold you can put a piece of plastic wrap before the bottom of the it and then put the cover.
Thank you the tips. This is beautiful design.
I am kinda confident now to make one of this kind of soaps 😁. ❤
I adore your videos. They are so informative for new soapers. Belinda gave me a tip for the shapers: instead of using tape, use rubber bands to affix the stick/guides. I had tried a few different kinds of tape, and I found that none held as well as I would like. I used 2 rubber bands to affix the guide and it worked very well (plus they are reusable!).
Stunning!
Hi Terry! Very nice colors 😊, so how come we shouldn't use palm oil with this?
💙 loved watching every moment! Such a beautiful soap. The layers and colours are perfect. Thanks so much for sharing your artistry, process and for giving my tools a try! 💕
My pleasure, Belinda! 😊 I will be giving more of your tools a try as I can't get them off my mind! So many ideas! You're amazing! 💜❣💕
Beautiful soap, great tips, thanks for sharing
Thank you! 💕
love this soap!. the brown one could be grainy because it's a sandstorm in a desert ;-) thanks for posting another fabulous tutorial
True! Thanks so much! 🌵🐫
Welcome, everyone! Thank you for watching! 💕 Watch to the end for what I learned and subscribe here.

Hi there, quick question, do you have any tips on calculating how you separate your lye solution into individual batches? Do you just divide by how many different colors you have?
Hi Teri! Quick question regarding what you said at 22:42 minutes about the graph paper and how to count the layers? I just wonder where you put that blog post or info? because it sounds like exactly what I've been needing as a tool. thankyou so much!

Very lovely
Thank you! 😊
Beautiful! Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
My pleasure! Thank you, Debbie! 😊
Very impressive! Love watching your videos! I’m a newbie so maybe one day I’ll be good enough to do this level of design. Great job! 💙
I agree I clean up and bevel all my soaps. They look beautiful and they then feel nice in your hand. I'm not the perfectionist you are, I make 30 bars at a minimum, but I think if people are paying me for something, I want it to look the very best I can make it.
Jill Gross
Wonderful, but how can you work so clean? my work table when I'm working is a disaster jajaja.Beautiful work!
Beautiful soap
Thank you!
Wow... As always beautiful 👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Hi, I am totally impressed with the two bars of soap purchased and the packaging is exquisite. Eventually I will be able to afford to buy some of the beautiful mountain shapers. The scent you used was perfect. I will definitely try it in my next salt spa bar. Reminds me of the ocean. Did you design your own box for the Awakening Soap. I love it. Every thing about my purchase is divine.
It would be great in salt bars too! 💕 Yes, I make my boxes from start to finish. It's a lot of work, but it allows me to tailor them to small batches. I'm so glad you like them, Donna. Thank you for your feedback! 😊💖✨
Thank you for sharing! I have learned so much from you and look forward to all of your videos! I received my bar and I love it! Thank you! Where do you get your soap boxes?
Thanks again!!
I enjoy your videos immensely. You soap and your work process are beautiful. And you explain a lot of interesting facts about soap. I would be nice to get a more in depth explanation about sapponifcation. What happens, why do you need to be so exact in the measurements, what does a waterdiscount do, why are some fragerances accelerating and some slowing, what are the chemical differences in the hard/ liquid oils and fragerance oils what is their function in the soap?
You said you used graphpaper for working out the percentages. That was a lot of counting for sure.
Next time you could draw the design on heavy cardstok, cut out every section and get the percentages out of the weight of each section. You would need a very fine scale. But it would be less counting.
Awesome tutorial. 👍
Thank you! 💕
You are a great teacher, what would you suggest to be the first recipe we use please?
Gorgeous💕💕
Thank you, Lori! 😊💕
Hi Terri!! These are beautiful!! I would order every single one but the postage is a killer to Australia!!😢
No worries! Hello in Australia!!! 🥰
Thank you! ❤
Thank you so much for your channel Teri - I have become an addict! I just have a little question. Do you bevel the corners on the same day as unmoulding and cutting? Or do you wait a while between each step?
Thanks!
Wow, Jeane! Thanks so much! 😊💕🥰
Hi Teri, where do I find the post on how you calculated the amounts for each layer? And thank you for sharing your talent with us❤
Here's that video. My pleasure!

Hi! I'm loving your channel! You do really beautiful work! I read that it's wise to spray alcohol in between your layers to help them "stick" together, yet I didn't see you do that. Did you just edit that part out or do you recommend not using the alcohol? Thanks!🥰
Thank you, Julie. You only need alcohol between layers in Melt & Pour soap, not CP soap. It sticks together fine.
Just because you have footage doesn't mean you have to use it. It's frustrating because the effort was made to make it, but if your heart is not in it, then that's that.
I wouldn't mind see soap footage with some music cut over it, but that's in you really want to put that footage to use.
You're videos are helpful, especially when new to soaping.
You just having fun, trouble shooting, giving something a try, showcasing techniques or ways of doing things that you've changed over time, etc, would also be interesting too.
Thank you so much for your input, Pam! 💖 It is frustrating because it's like the footage is ripe for the picking and now it's getting past it's best.💕
In the beginning, that's what I wanted my channel to be, just showcasing what I'm working on. I thought TH-cam would be enough income to pay the bills, but it's not at all unless you have sponsors. (I don't want to do that because I don't like them in other videos, so I don't want to subject my viewers to that.)
@@TreeMarieSoapworks That's a tough and draining spot to be in.
Even if you enjoy it, work is work. Doing TH-cam and other socials, is work.
I trust that you can figure something out that works best for you. Maybe Patreon can help; if that's a route you're comfortable with.
Thank you so muchh
Hi Terry; am amazed at your brilliant works and am grateful you take your time to convey this knowledge.. Wanted to ask what colors do you use and where do you get them because I tried making this design but the color faded out?
You're back!!!!
It's good to be back! 😊
I respect your passion for your work❤❤. You seem like a totally cool person who is having a good time. I want to ask you, is it a good idea to pursue it as a career for a college graduate like myself?🙂😗
Hello, I'm just fascinated by your work, it's wonderful. Please tell me how do you keep the main mass in the state? After mixing, I have two or three minutes and the mass is thick and I can't do anything. I mix at a temperature of 38 degrees (250 gr. coconut oil; 200 g shea butter; 200 g olive oil; 100 g castor oil and 100 g macadamia oil + 116.41 soda and 280 water).
Can you please explain why and how you affixed the sticks to the scrapers and where did you purchase the small sticks?
этот приём с затиркой пустот работает и с мылом из основы 👍
Hey Teri! LOVE this vid and am going to give layering a try. At the end, when you cover up the holes/flaws (I try to do this too), how did you keep the soap batter soft enough to work with?
Thank you!
Possibly the same way you would with soap dough? So keeping it airtight should keep it soft if I understand that correctly.
I just made my first sculpted layer soap! I should’ve made 15% extra like you because it was really hard to get all my tall peaks… did I miss where the link is to calculate the splits for each layer using graph paper? I’d love to learn more!
Oh, so sorry, I got pulled away and never finished it. It involves putting the design on graph paper and counting the squares in each layer, then divide by the total number of squares. That will give you the percent for each layer. Up the normal batch size by 15% and divide your batter into the percentages you figured. I hope this helps, Amanda! 💕

May I request you to upload a video, where we can actually learn the technique... Not able to understand why and to what extent you are moving your hand to & fro with the tool.
Immensely good looking soap. So really want to learn about it
Great video! How long does it take for each layer to set up, are you waiting until it's firm to the touch? Do you keep it at room temp while waiting. Also, do these layered soaps go through a gel phase. I've been soaping for 3 years but have made basic bars and am just now getting into the artistic side.
Do you mean how long till it's ready to sculpt? (Not firm to touch.) That depends on the fragrance and the recipe you use. Mine took probably 30 minutes to hold its shape. Then once it's sculpted, it's ready for the next layer, which will need to thicken enough to keep its shape. (I should have used a slightly accelerating fragrance.) I didn't notice a gel phase, but I believe I covered this one and didn't oven process it.

Wow, so kind of you! Thank you so much! 💖😊💕
How do you set up the spacing on the mountains? Like the guide sticks?
Hello there. I love your videos and would like to try your soaps, but am on a budget. Do you have any high-quality ingredient soaps (not as ornate or labor intensive) that are more affordable? Anything under $10??
Can i use olive oil instead of avocado oil or using shea butter instead of cocoa butter
Thank you for the video! Just to clarify, is the reason you measure and pour the lye separately because of the different amounts of colorants you used per layer?
That is correct, Lily.👍 And it is added to the lye instead of the oils because lye is supposed to bring out the color of the indigo. 🧪💕
Good but not the best.
Joke. Thank you for the video. We learn a lot.
So why are you painting it on, and is is it with a brush pls
It's for cosmetic reason, I understand.
What is the metal spatula called ?
Where do you buy your ingredients please
This looks like the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina where I live.

Bob Ross but soap
So happy to see a video!!! Missed you lots!! Salt bars are my issue i know you've done it in the past. But I'm allergic to coconut so my recipe omits it and I've found no matter the ratio my bar crumbles to pieces. I use cocoa, shea, kokoum, olive, castor, avocado and mango.
Thank you! Have you ever tried Babassu or Palm Kernel oil for a Coconut Oil substitute? Hmm... I would love to try and experiment with that.🤔
