  • I can’t believe I’ve never done a drop swirl!! I don’t know what I was afraid of. It came out great! Definitely going to do it again.
    This scent is described as a clean, refreshing fragrance has notes of bergamot, cardamom, pineapple, papaya, amber, and green tea.

    One of the best drop swirls I've seen!!! The distinction in the different colors they didn't blend and I totally thought they would be all smudged together but they came out perfect!! You can see every single individual drop clearly!! Amazing micas! Love your videos!

    • @OpheliasSoapery
      @OpheliasSoapery  Před 5 lety +1

      Sheena Castanha I thought they would all blend together too. I think that’s why I avoided it for so long lol. But I’m glad I finally did it. Maybe the key is to have the batter that fluid every time 🤔🤔🤔

    • @breclaytor5774
      @breclaytor5774 Před 5 lety +1

      You can do it with a thicker batter and it won't blend the color, it will just make the drops less deep. I think the biggest mistake ppl make is not using enough colorant to make the proper contrast. Amazing soap btw. Just beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

      @OpheliasSoapery  Před 5 lety +2

      Paula Raynes awee! Do you Soap at room temperature? Whisking in colors will help too. Instead of mixing with the blender.

    • @paularaynes3365
      @paularaynes3365 Před 5 lety +1

      Yes its mostly after I put in the fragrance , Im sure I will crack it one day mean time I will stick to HP lol

    • @christinebowes2528
      @christinebowes2528 Před 5 lety +2

      Paula Raynes I’m going through this now.. One of the keys to have more unsaturated fat than saturated in your recipe.

    • @agirlwithdifferenttools5850
      @agirlwithdifferenttools5850 Před 5 lety +1

      Most floral fragrances will thicken your batter.

      @agirlwithdifferenttools5850 Před 5 lety +1

      Hit reply too soon. Lol. I always use a very very light trace. Mixing both at room temp helps a lot.

      @OpheliasSoapery  Před 5 lety +1

  • @teresaluthye1153
    @teresaluthye1153 Před 5 lety +1

    Beautiful soap! I have the same size mold from Nurture. Do you mind telling me your recipe size? My bars seem to be a bit on the short side. Trying to keep my loaf size not too tall for unmolding. I do use Sodium Lactate to help with unmolding. Your drop swirl was stunning! Thanks for the video.

    • @OpheliasSoapery
      @OpheliasSoapery  Před 5 lety +2

      Teresa Luthye Thank you! I use 44oz of oils. When I calculate how much oils I need I say my bars are 4” tall to give me room at the top :)

    • @teresaluthye1153
      @teresaluthye1153 Před 5 lety +1

      Thank you! I was a little short on my amount of oils. I’ll give 44 oz. a try. Thanks for the help!

    Cant wait to try this! Curious tho I normally throw my mica colors in my dish with the lye already mixed. I see some ppl mix it to oil first, is that the oil already measured to be added when mixing the lye or do you add extra for that? Thanks for sharing :)

  • @kanik6537
    @kanik6537 Před 4 lety

    Wonderful! What size are the bars and are they always the same size or do you do different sizes?

    You mention a hanger tool in your list of equipment. I didn't see you use one in this video 🤔

      @OpheliasSoapery  Před 3 lety +1

      I just list all I use. I get a lot of questions about where to get tools all the time. So I just lost everything for all videos.

  • @nancyhebert3370
    @nancyhebert3370 Před 5 lety

    I think your soap is gorgeous. But I am curious about something...Did you slice off both sides of this loaf or only one side? What was your reason for doing this?

    • @OpheliasSoapery
      @OpheliasSoapery  Před 5 lety

      Nancy Hebert the mold is wider than I like my bars so I slice off some to make it my usual bar size. I cut them up and use them as samples :)

  • @terrikenison5726
    @terrikenison5726 Před 3 lety

    I am curious what part you cut off with the log splitter at the beginning of the cut.

    • @OpheliasSoapery
      @OpheliasSoapery  Před 3 lety +1

      I make my bars smaller than the mold. So I cut that part off and sent them as free samples to customers.

      I’m actually not sure. I don’t do anything special. I use water soluble from Natures Garden.
