- This cold process soap was my attempt at an example soap for the July 2021 Soap Challenge. In the video, I show you how I prepare the base soap and add the abstract design to the top of the soap.
I will not be entering this soap in the Soap Challenge competition, it was made to include in the Soap Challenge Club Facebook group at the start of the month as an example of the technique and to give members of the club extra help, hints and tips when preparing their soaps.

Although my cold process soap making tutorials are of a tutorial nature, they are intended for people who have a good understanding of making cold process soap. The information given is based on what works for me, however, there are lots of variables associated with cold process soap making and I therefore, take no responsibility for the results achieved when using the techniques or methods explained in these tutorials. Cold process soap involves the necessary use of sodium Hydroxide (lye) which is a very dangerous substance. Before attempting and cold process soap making you should ensure you are fully aware of the lye safety procedures and always wear the correct safety equipment when making soap.

The knitted jumper assessment! This is pure art. Lovely :)
Ah ha, yes you are right, to the top of the class for you :-)
I have never made soap (and probably never will) but I could watch your videos all day! Always so well done, and you have so much knowledge to share, but you're always so humble about it. Thank you for sharing xx
AW, thank you so much Kristen, that's so lovely to hear, thank you for taking the time to leave a comment for me.
Lisa u are incredible!. My sister came for a visit with me last summer. She kept telling me I want to teach u how to soap. I'm thinking "Oh boy....ok." Long story short I'm addicted.... I love her recipe. She lives on the coast of BC Canada, so we communicate telephone ECT. I wanted a more in-depth look at soaping. I searched amongst the soapers on TH-cam and then Lisa popped into the picture. Then I saw this volcano lol, incredible!!!! Lisa thank U!!! U are quite a teacher, I'm binge watching ur videos. Love ur art, because that's what it is! 😊😊😊❤
Thank you so much for your lovely comment 😘
I'm just in awe of how soap makers'/artists' in general minds work!! I never get how these ideas are formed! And that just the basic idea. Let alone figuring out how to actually DO the danged thing! The layering, twisting the cutting..... NOPE! This person's brain just does NOT work in those dimentions!! Thank you for sharing these beauties!!!🥰🥰🥰🥰
That's so kind of you to say Alexandra W, thank you so much 😊
I love how the sculpted design on each soap is slightly different. These really embody one of the things I love about abstract art -- that you can stare at it for hours and keep seeing different things. And each time you come back to the piece, with new eyes and new experiences, you see something else.
As always, great work! Thank you for brightening my day.
AW, thanks so much Andi, what a lovely comment :-)
Will be waiting! Thanks!
Your a super teacher, calm approach, excellent instruction and application You make the use of the pallet knife look easy but I’m sure you need much practice to perfect that skill, the soap turned out great. Thank you.
Thanks so much Tassie girl. I found that trace was quite important, it needed to be thick but not too thick, so just at the point where it would roll nicely, once it got thicker the edges of the designs started to get jagged.
I just love this. Reminds me of a dream I had, magic waters that swirled and parted, welcomed me and so comforting 💖💗💖
Ooh that sounds like a fab dream :-)
I'm so glad you made this video. I was hoping that you would. I just could not wrap my head around how you made this soap.
So pleased you found it useful Meghan
Stunnning!

SO delicate and beautiful!
Simply beautiful!
Great organic design, it looks like it has been sculpted by the sea

Good to “see” you again!
Very lovely. And I agree with Jeanette--good to "see" you again.
Hey Jeanette, aw thanks a lot :-)
Thank you, I'll try to 'pop in' a bit more, it's just one of those things that all add extra time to making a video
This is very informative. I appreciate you channel and the content you share. 😊😊
That's so kind of you to say T B, thank you so much 😊
Turned out Pretty , it reminds Me of a stalk of Wheat In A Pink Desert . I think they are also called Off - Set Spatulas 🏩
Thanks so much, ooh yes I can see that. Ah yes, I think I've heard them called that as well. Thank you
Very beautiful 😊
Thanks a lot 😊
Really lovely, so pretty! 💞
Thank you! 😊
Amazing. I'm speechless
Very pretty
Thank you! 😊
Genius Guru.
He, he, thanks so much
Love seeing u again beautiful Lisa ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks so much Michelle
Those spatulas are palette knives, mostly used by artists to mix paint ;) lovely design, as usual and love the colours!
I typed too soon, before you ran back on camera lol - TH-cam isn’t letting me edit or delete this comment!
Hey, no problem at all thank you for trying to help :-)
Sooo very beautiful
Thanks a lot Cindy 😊
So pretty 😍
😍
Think very much dear🥰
Thank you too
Super 🎉❤
Thanks 🔥
Lovely just lovely!!! I am not a fan of pink at all my favorite color is the color of your cabinets in the beginning of your video but I really love what you did with those 3 colors. And your art work was just amazing. I love the way you think outside the box.
Ooh yes I love a good old bright lime green, I remember when we were doing our kitchen it was so hard to get the colour we wanted, people just gave us weird looks, so we had to get the doors etc specially made
@@IDreamInSoap I know what you mean about the weird looks. I special ordered a soap cutter lime green but it arrived looking like a Christmas green. Not exactly what I wanted but I think it will cut soap no problem.
I like this...I love pallet painting on canvas....I will do this one... a friend just bought me a brand new set of pallets knifes....I will just move them into my soapy room...Thank so much...mary
Ooh that sounds great, I be you'll be fantastic at this
@@IDreamInSoap I will try it one day this week. I'll send you a picture (good or bad) and we will see. Thank you for your kind words. mary
Thanks Lisa 🧼🧼🧼🧼🐝🐝
:-)
Gorgeous 😍 😍 😍
Thank you!! 😊
ΚΑΛΛΙΤΕΧΝΙΔΑ💐🍉🍇🍒🍓💕👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Ευχαριστώ πολύ
Wow I hope I can become just as good as you are, your amazing….wow…
That's so kind of you to say McRee.Cosmetics, thank you so much 😊
How did you come up with this design?? I saw the picture of this soap and was completely stumped as to how in the world you did it. They look so neat! Absolutely an example of "abstract art" and definitely my favorite. You're so amazing, Lisa 💕
AW, thanks a lot Shonna, I'm not really sure. We had to avoid making real things, which I struggle with, as you know me I like a little 'scene' in a soap, but I did want the abstract to work with the bar rather than just be something separate on top.
Pallet Knives are the professional Artist Term when purchasing the “Spatulas
Thanks so much, yes I remembered later on, it's funny how your mind can just go completely blank, but thanks for helping me out :-)
super
Thank you
Hallo Lisa hir ist Lydia ich kucke gerne viele eure Videos. Ich bedanke mich für alles was die tuhen .Ich bedanke mich auch von Herzen für die deutsche Sprache die ich ferstehen kan 😊😊😊👍👍👍👌👌👌❤❤❤
Vielen Dank, freut mich, dass dir meine Videos gefallen. Ich hoffe, die Übersetzungen sind in Ordnung. Ich spreche kein Deutsch, also muss ich mich beim Übersetzen auf Google verlassen, also gibt es hoffentlich zu viele Dinge, die falsch übersetzt werden
@@IDreamInSoap Dankeschön es ist alles gut viel Glück für alles was sie tuhen und bleiben sie gesund ❤❤❤
Здравствуйте, очень нравятся Ваши работы, хотелось бы узнать рецепт массы, которой вылепливаете на готовом мыле. Работы классные, балдею от Ваших шедевров. Спасибо.
This is just lovely to look at, I'm wondering if I would want to use this soap for fear of losing the 3d design. It would probably sit on my shelf and look pretty!
I agree, too pretty to use...show piece for sure.
AW thanks so much. Yes the design will eventually wear off, which is why I typically like to make soap where the design goes all the way through the bar. But I would hope the whole bar is still very pretty even without the abstract part.
Thanks so much :-)
Love your recepie!! So nice and fluid….is it possible to buy it??
Hi, not at the moment, but I do get asked a lot, so I am thinking about doing something
한국 입니다. 예뻐요
I wonder if you could let the dough set up even more firmly, and then make really smooth gradients with a pasta machine the way the fimo clay artists do?
Yes, you probably could do that, for the challenge soap dough wasn't allowed and the soap still had to be spreadable, but outside the rules of the challenge you could certainly give it a go
It is so sweet, so lovely and very artistic! What oils did you use ?
Thank you so much. I use Shea butter, cocoa butter. Coconut oil, olive oil, avocado oil, castor and rice bran oil.
@@IDreamInSoap I want to start making soaps. I’ve never done it before and do not have any experience about oils in the process of saponification. Any kind of olive oil will work or it is pomace needed and any rice bran oil will work (like for cooking ) or it needs to be certain version of it just for cosmetic porpoises? Thanks.
Any way you can but a link in for the mold and the thing that's holding it at an angle? I can never find them.
Hey Susan, here you go, my mould was a custom size as they will make to what size you want, but here's their listing customcrafttools.com/collections/soap-molds customcrafttools.com/collections/other-soap-making-tools/products/soap-mold-angler-cheshire-cat
This is really cool! But I have a question why do you work in Fahrenheit instead of Celsius? (Unless you meant 80°c but I think that’s really hot?)
Thanks so much. Oh and for temperature it's sort of what I've got use to for making soap. 90% of the people who watch my videos are from the USA, so I use F as that's what the huge majority of the people watching are use to dealing with.
@@IDreamInSoap oh that makes sense! I’m from the US so f makes more sense to me so I appreciate that haha I was just confused because you talk about uk soap regulations. Thank you for making these videos I positively adore them
I miss seeing you
Hey Missy K, aw sorry about that :-)
To me these are an abstract lilly
Yes, I can see that :-)
