Hi and thank you for watching my video. I really appreciate your lovely compliments too. I did another scenic soap using the sail boat embed that I like even better. I made a video of that too.

Hi Patricia ~ thank you for watching and the sweet compliment. A few business people have approached me about carrying my soaps in their stores, but I tell them I'm not a soap manufacturer. If I had to make 100's of bars of each design wanted, all the fun of making soap would be gone. My aim is making small batches of skin-healthy soaps in an artistically pleasing design. And, sell enough to support my habit ~ er. . . I mean hobby, LOL! Thanks again for taking the time to comment. :) ione eve
just starting out on my soap making journey and watching you make soap with scenery inside truly motivates me to try harder, experiment more often and never give up. Thank you Eve for bringing the sunshine into our lives and into your soaps. : )

YOU WIN!!! I think I have watched almost every single soap making video on YT and I have been saving this video for a very long time because I was sure that this was going to be something special. I was right! Not only is this a lovely scene but it has depth and dimension and you can see the details so perfectly, like sun glimmering on the water, the water has movement like natural waves and the view from rocks is just superb. This is pure perfection! I absolutely adore every single thing about this piece of art! You, Ms. Lady, did such a wonderful, wonderful job! Now I can't wait to watch the rest of your videos. I can't imagine what else is banging around in your head that is waiting to jump out. Please, break out of the soap mold and bring us some more of this 100% unique artistic talent! :)

I am in awe of you I just started watching you two days ago and I cant get enough of your amazing soap videos. Im shocked this was your first attempt at making a scenery soap. This soap turned out amazing. The entire time you are thinking ohhh this is not gonna turn out and I started having doubts then you cut it and it is one of the most amazing aristic soaps Ive ever seen. Its just beautiful. I couldnt wash with this its soo pretty. Your son is gonna think the same thing. My son is 19 will be 20 this July 31st hes my baby and he loves cool water too. I better get back to watching your videos. Im new to this and you are an amazing teacher so thank you for that. You are also very sweet and your voice is so calming that I could watch you all day which Ive been doing.LOL Thank you so much and God Bless.
Hi Gina ~ Your comment is a joy to read! Thank you for watching my videos and your thoughtful words. I appreciate it very much. I'm trying to get up the courage to make this soap again. I've made it with different colors a couple times, but it is soooo much work. Wish me luck! :) ione eve
Hi Lory ~ thank you for watching and the thoughtful comment. Yes, it was in the works for a while. In fact, I was starting to wonder if I would ever actually do it, haha! :) ione eve
I'm in awe at how amazing this looks. You did a fantastic job. I never would have guessed this is your first time making a scenic design. You nailed it twenty times over because it looks like a painting rather than soap. I was entranced the whole time. Amazing!
Thank you, Danielle ~ for watching and the wonderful comment. I think other soap-makers have more appreciation for our design efforts. I know when I see a unique soap design I say to myself, "How on earth did they do that?" ~ LOL!
I love your work! You are amazing at all the projects you take in!! I’m learning a lot from you and hope you will share your base soap recipe…🤞🏻you inspire me! Thank you!

+Alixar81 Thank you for watching my video and the sweet comment. The reason the soap stayed fluid is because I didn't bring it to trace until doing so in increments right before pouring into the mold. I had to do it that way since this design took almost an hour to mold, LOL! :) ione eve
That's so beautiful, the sand, sea and sun reflection came out amazing. The only thing I would change is the white at the horizon, I think it would look better between the water and the sand as if it was foam. Congratulations and thank you for sharing!
Hi Veronica ~ thank you for watching and leaving such a gracious comment. While I'm pleased that the scene came out pretty good, there are some things I want to change if I do it again, your suggestion being one of them. The horizon line didn't turn out like I hoped.

Please do! I just went to your store to purchase it and I didn't see it so I'm sure it sold out quick. I was reading your soap descriptions of your soaps in your store. I love the fact that our skin health is more important to you than the artistry. A soap can be beautiful but if it doesn't help keep our skin healthy then what good is it?
Stephanie Ray Hi Stephanie ~ I'm happy you appreciate the health side of handmade soap. I'm always discouraged when people tell me they buy my soaps to display, but never use. The whole point of making them is to benefit skin. I did sell out of the Sand & Sea soaps quickly. I have a list of people that want one if or when I make it again. I hope you'll like the Fruit & Flowers soap. It's my eldest daughter's favorite. If you are a Facebook member, please friend me. I would love to stay in touch. I'll leave a link in case you're interested. :) ione eve facebook.com/eves.garden.52

My husband said"is that a yacht" and I said it cant be an embed its too perfect. Then we watched the video and OMG it was an embed. I cant wait for your next creation. You continue to be my inspiration :)
You are such an inspiration. Thank you for sharing your art with us. I have learned so much from you in my soaping journey. Last night, I was making my "sand" portion of my soap that I've been planning for a while and also made little starfish, shells, and seahorses. I tried making some kelp fans and leaves out of mp but it was so aggravating trying to make it wavy looking like I wanted to so kudos on your sailboats :) It was neat that I got on youtube today and saw this video. I had to watch it and I'm glad I did. Now I can't wait to go make my soap. For my sand, I mixed a couple different soaps I made a while back and some ground corn silks that I dried recently. When the silks turn dark brown like food tends to do, hopefully it will look neat. Take care and I can't wait to see another video you make soon.
Hello ~ thank you for watching and the wonderful comment. The soap you're planning sounds fantastic. Your ideas and embeds should make a delightful bar. I would love to see how it comes out. Best of luck in your endeavor! :) ione eve
This came out so nice! I see you've been talking about possibly trying this design again. I think if you do, it would look nice for the top of the sailboat to have the sky in the background. Almost as in a lower perspective.
breadnbutter11 Thank you for watching and the wonderful comment. Great suggestion on placement of the sailboat. I will aim for that on my next try. :) ione eve
Ione, I wanted to chill out today after making a batch of Barbershop 1920's soaps, and I wanted to watch you. This video came up when I typed in your name and I said out loud, "That's the first video I watched of you four years ago!" I remember it so well! Job well done Ione :) Hugs xxx
Truly inspiring! I really love the way the sand/shoreline turned out, and your little sails are adorable :) Your forethought to pour a second layer to cover the sail really added an extra ripple effect to the sea. I hope you will find the time (soon) to grace us with another scenic soap; I can't wait to see what you come up with next!!!
LeighAnn S Hi LeighAnn ~ thank you for watching and the thoughtful comment. I appreciate your kind words. I'm thinking about doing a mountain scene soap, but haven't worked out all the details yet. It's going to be on-down-the-road a ways yet, LOL! :) ione eve

Pamela Hi Pam ~ I'm so happy you like your soaps, and thank you very much for the sweet compliments! You're very kind to leave such gracious feedback. Big smiley face here! :D ione eve
Fab! I was looking for some soapy inspiration for the summer and looks like I’ve found it. Doubt I can pull it off but it will be fun trying! ☺️
Hi Lauren ~ Thank you for watching my video! Have fun making soap this summer. I'm sure it will turn out wonderful. I'm happy to have helped inspire you. ;) ione eve
Wow this is sooooooooo lovely - and so relaxing to watch - thanks for sharing
Thank you for watching and leaving such a nice comment. I appreciate it. :) ione eve
Wow! Amazing! Beautiful work.
Thank your for watching and the gracious comment ~ I appreciate it very much. :) ione eve
My polymer clay artistry combined with soap making. This is going to be fun.
Thanks so much for sharing :-)
Jennifer A Shepherd Hi Jennifer ~ thank you for watching and the nice comment. Sounds like this is right up your alley. Have fun! :) ione eve
This soap is absolutely stunning!
Stephanie Ray Hi Stephanie ~ thank you for watching and the gracious comment. I'm trying to get up the courage to try making it again, but so far I've got cold feet, LOL! :) ione eve
Please do! I just went to your store to purchase it and I didn't see it so I'm sure it sold out quick. I was reading your soap descriptions of your soaps in your store. I love the fact that our skin health is more important to you than the artistry. A soap can be beautiful but if it doesn't help keep our skin healthy then what good is it?
Stephanie Ray Hi Stephanie ~ I'm happy you appreciate the health side of handmade soap. I'm always discouraged when people tell me they buy my soaps to display, but never use. The whole point of making them is to benefit skin.
I did sell out of the Sand & Sea soaps quickly. I have a list of people that want one if or when I make it again. I hope you'll like the Fruit & Flowers soap. It's my eldest daughter's favorite. If you are a Facebook member, please friend me. I would love to stay in touch. I'll leave a link in case you're interested. :) ione eve

I love your Sand and Sea Soap! You did an amazing job!
Thank you! I appreciate your lovely comment. This was my first attempt at a scenic soap. I've done another one since, but they were both a big challenge for me.
@@EvesGardenSoaps You did an awesome job!

Ione, This is the most beautiful soap. You are an artisan in the true sense of the word. I love your creations. xxxx Gayle (Soapy Madness)
Hi Gayle ~ Thank you for watching the video and the kind words. If not for you giving me the push to get it done ~ this soap would still be "on the drawing board" haha! ~ So, thank you for that too! :) ione eve
My husband said"is that a yacht" and I said it cant be an embed its too perfect. Then we watched the video and OMG it was an embed. I cant wait for your next creation. You continue to be my inspiration :)
Gayle Butler ~ You inspire me as well, Gayle. I guess we make a good team, eh? I'm so happy we've connected. Happy soaping! ;) ione eve
You are such an inspiration. Thank you for sharing your art with us. I have learned so much from you in my soaping journey. Last night, I was making my "sand" portion of my soap that I've been planning for a while and also made little starfish, shells, and seahorses. I tried making some kelp fans and leaves out of mp but it was so aggravating trying to make it wavy looking like I wanted to so kudos on your sailboats :) It was neat that I got on youtube today and saw this video. I had to watch it and I'm glad I did. Now I can't wait to go make my soap. For my sand, I mixed a couple different soaps I made a while back and some ground corn silks that I dried recently. When the silks turn dark brown like food tends to do, hopefully it will look neat. Take care and I can't wait to see another video you make soon.
Hello ~ thank you for watching and the wonderful comment. The soap you're planning sounds fantastic. Your ideas and embeds should make a delightful bar. I would love to see how it comes out. Best of luck in your endeavor! :) ione eve
Simply beautiful! I just love this!
Thank you, Nicole ~ I appreciate you watching and the gracious comment. :) ione eve
This came out so nice! I see you've been talking about possibly trying this design again. I think if you do, it would look nice for the top of the sailboat to have the sky in the background. Almost as in a lower perspective.
breadnbutter11 Thank you for watching and the wonderful comment. Great suggestion on placement of the sailboat. I will aim for that on my next try. :) ione eve
Ione, I wanted to chill out today after making a batch of Barbershop 1920's soaps, and I wanted to watch you. This video came up when I typed in your name and I said out loud, "That's the first video I watched of you four years ago!" I remember it so well! Job well done Ione :) Hugs xxx
Hi Margie ~ You are so sweet! Thank you for watching my video and taking the time to write such a thoughtful comment. You made my day! :) ione

Thank you for the sweet compliment. I really appreciate you watching and commenting! :) ione eve
This was amazing! I probably wouldn't use it, it's so pretty!
Thank you for watching and the gracious comment. I kinda feel the same way, especially with what a challenge it was to make! LOL! :) ione eve
So gorgeous. I love it!
Excellent! Amazing! Love it! Great job! 😍
Thank you for watching and the wonderful compliment. I appreciate it very much. :) ione eve
This is soooo pretty. I just started making soap and I have a long ways to go. Hopefully I can make something as awesome as this!
KiKi JahDore TheStylist Hi Kiki ~ thank you for watching and the nice comment. Welcome to soap-making. I hope you'll enjoy it as me as me! :) ione eve
Good job! ! I love your personality. It's so cute!
Kiara B Hi Kiara ~ thank you for watching and the sweet compliment. I appreciate your kindness! :) ione eve
Truly inspiring! I really love the way the sand/shoreline turned out, and your little sails are adorable :) Your forethought to pour a second layer to cover the sail really added an extra ripple effect to the sea. I hope you will find the time (soon) to grace us with another scenic soap; I can't wait to see what you come up with next!!!
LeighAnn S Hi LeighAnn ~ thank you for watching and the thoughtful comment. I appreciate your kind words. I'm thinking about doing a mountain scene soap, but haven't worked out all the details yet. It's going to be on-down-the-road a ways yet, LOL! :) ione eve
That is just amazing! Great job, Ione! :)
Hey it turned out great! Very cute, I love it!
