Thanks so much for watching! Have any of you tried doing soap curls? I had so much fun making these. I ended up creating 3 different soaps and finally decided on this one for my entry. I may do a couple of quick videos showing my other two if anyone is interested.

You took your soap curls to a whole new level. I love all the difference ways you used to get them. What a beautiful soap. Top notch. I appreciate the link to the indigo powder. I really want to try to get some blue. The last two batches have produced green. Though I love green, I like color you are getting. Thanks for sharing you amazing video. Have a blessed week.
Thank you so much, Renee!

So beautiful. I made my very first soap last week - a 100% Castile suitable for newbies. I was thrilled to bits that it actually worked and is now curing. Can't wait to try it!
Simply perfect! 👍

💖💞BEAUTIFUL!! I love how you curled the curls! So creative!!💞
Thank you!! 😊❤️
I always look forward to watching Holly's videos, but ESPECIALLY her videos for soaps she's making for the SCC! Spectacular and wonderfully creative!!
Thank you and thanks so much for watching my videos!!
Only when I thought you can't top your work.and you do this.this soap is gorgeous.you're the best!!
Oh, thank you so much!!
Thanks so much Holly. This is beautiful soap! And the music and filming...so relaxing. I see that you had linked the stainless steel pots in this video, that I had asked about in the comments of a different video. Thanks so much for that.
I’m recovering from an orthopedic surgery and so grateful for this opportunity to learn new things about soapmaking. I had come to a place where some really weird things were occurring to my soaps after many years of soap making and I was discouraged. Your videos, along with Katie’s (Royalty Soaps) and Mrs. Soap & Clay’s videos have been immensely encouraging during my recovery time. I’m ready to start again. God bless you for being so sweet and helpful.
Thank you so much! I hope you’re recovering quickly and that you’re able to make soap again soon! Thank you for taking the time to leave such kind comments. I truly appreciate it. 💕😊
So clean and beautiful!!
Thank you!
So gorgeous! I love the simplicity of the design and the fun ways you figured out how to create variety with your curls! The halo effect around the curls from gel phase really looks neat too. :) I think we'd all love to see your other two designs as well!
Thank you so much, Amy!
I tried to imagine how you would create this effect but it so clever and beyond what I ever imagined. Beautiful and such fun to watch. You are very patient to make all those curls! Great job.
Thank you so much! ❤️
Holly loved your soap and your video is wonderfully put together! Thank you for sharing. Good luck on the vote.😀
Thank you so much!!
Amazing. You are such an artist and I enjoy your videos!

Absolutely wonderful x
Thank you!
Beautiful! I love all the different swirls and curls! What an amazing job, as always! I loved getting to hear your voice. I’m a Tennessee girl too who’s recently moved to Indiana and I sure do miss hearing that southern drawl! I get a lot of “where are you from?”! 😂😂
Thank you so much, Belinda! My southern accent is so thick. I keep having to re-record when I add too many syllables to words. LOL Hope you’re enjoying Indiana. My husband worked in Indianapolis for a time and we thought it was a neat place. :)
Here comes another designer bar. Never knew a soap could be gorgeous.
Stunning!!!
Thank you!!
Just Beautiful
Love the color
This is a lot of prep and work, but worth it. I love the end result. Beautiful soap! ♥️
Thank you!
Those are big bars of soap. Amazing design. Thank you for the lesson.
Thank you!
Amazing. Well done beautiful soap 💚
Thank you!! ❤️
WOW - that is amazing to watch - thank you
Thank you!
What a creativity, hats off to ur effort madam 👍👍👍👍👍
Just amazing.
Thank you!
Very pretty!
I love watching your videos ☺️
Thank you! I really appreciate you watching them!
I've never used this curls technique and would love to see the other two contender. You have the patience of Jobe Iol. Beautiful Soap.
Thank you! Those curls were fun to make but I was so glad when I curled the last one. LOL
Well done !!! 👏
Thank you!
Holly, you're doing so great with your new mic and video equipment! But this soap design you did with this one is "sensational as usual"! What I love about it is that no matter which bar you look at, while each *may* be different, the design makes them all meld together in a such a beautifully, elegant way. I LOVE it!
Thank you SO much, Lisa! It's still hard for me to hear and edit my own voice, so I really appreciate you saying that. Thank you for your kind words about my soap, too! ❤️
@@hollysoapmaking I could honestly listen to you all day. You have a beautiful and soothing, elegant and sophisticated voice. But I completely understand self-criticism. I went to that college too and got my master's in it. LOL!
Definitely interested in any soap you make. They are gorgeous,
I love it, Holly! The way you curled your soap is so fun and creative! I love your color combination too! (It's the weirdest thing, I was picking color swatches for my next soap, and I chose white and gray this morning before I saw this.🤭 Who knows if I'll use it, but I just may, since it looks so good in your soap.) Best of luck to you in the challenge! Beautiful soap and video, Holly! 💕✨
Thank you so much, Teri! The grayish color was actually a bit of an accident (I expected more blue), but I really ended up liking it. I don’t think I’ve ever made a soap this color before. 😊
Un hermoso trabajo!!
Good luck on your entry!
Thank you!
So delightful Holly! 😍😍😍 I would love to see the others as well - and btw - so sorry for those whogive a “thumbs down.” So bizarre!!
I award you 1000 👍s 🆙and 👑 you the best Soaper to follow on CZcams 🤩🤩🤩 because you deserve such accolades. Well done!!
I wish there was a Melt & Pour Soap Challenge Club.
These are beautiful Thank You for Sharing
From Australia 🇦🇺

AWESOME job
Thank you!
U r so soo professional At this .😄😄 love u
really cool!
Very beautiful 😍!!!!
I'm studying to become an English teacher and I think I can use this in a class some day. When I first saw the thumbnail my mind went nuts trying to figure out how it's done and it turned out to be something so simple which is something you can really apply to learning. So thank you so much for this video! Also, I am noe officially a new subscriber! 😊🌻🌹
Thank you and thanks so much for subscribing! Good luck with your teaching career!
I like the free form curls! Very unique and different. I have thought about combining peppermint with orange, they are two of my favorite scents, I may do it now that I have seen you do it!
Thank you so much, Glenda! I tried orange and peppermint together in another soap and loved it. Now I find myself using it all the time. It has such a unique, fresh scent in finished soap.
It's very beautiful
Love to have this soap 😍😘
Perfect.
So pretty!!!
Thank you!
Very nice!
Thank you!
