How I Crazy Texture My Soap Tops! =)

[ionegeist]

Thank you for the great demonstration, your soap looks luscious. I'm new at soap making and when I put a top layer on it always breaks off when I cut the soap into bars. Any ideas on how to get past that?

[mrscrafty100]

@ionegeist Thank you for the comment and for watching. I normaly mound my top on once I know the bottom is pretty firm and it will hold the top, I find this way I dont run the risk of separation, if you wait hours or till the next day you run the risk of it separating. I hope this helps

@mrscrafty100

Thank you for responding to my question. I know you must be very busy, and

I appreciate it very much. I really enjoy watching the youtube videos of

your projects. I'm amazed at how creative you are. Thanks for making them.

I know myself and many other people find them VERY helpful!

[mrscrafty100]

@ionegeist Its my pleasure, sorry I took so long. I'm happy your enjoying my videos, I hope the advise helps you, let me know if you have any other question. =)

Since the glitters washes away can you use the type of glitter found in the craft stores. I found superfine glitter in a craft store can I use it on soap? Thank you!

[mrscrafty100]

@modelchickny No, I would strongly recommend not using craft glitter, if it gets in somebody's eyes it will be a problem. I only use cosmetic glitter, this glitter is safe because it is even ment for eye shadows. So please stick to cosmetic grade glitter.

Hi! I love your soaps!!! I'm a beginer in soap

what color do you use for soapping?

[mrscrafty100]

@13ivelisse Hi, thanks for watching and commenting! I use micas and oxides, I like the ones from tkb trading =)

[mreinstein48]

Fantastic colors!! What is it? Pigments or water base ? Do you add a lot of them inside the batch? Mine are awlways fading with the lye;...

[mrscrafty100]

@mreinstein48 I use micas and oxides, I dilute them in a bit of vegetable glycerin and it works great. I get my colors from tkb trading

[LexieLove808]

I just wanted to say thank you soooo much for all of your videos. There are lots of soapers who refuse to share their "secrets" but you have a HUGE following and fan base because you show and share. You have been an absolute inspiration to many of us!!

[mrscrafty100]

@LexieLove808 Thank you so much for such a sweet comment, I'm so happy you like my videos and find them helpfull! =)

[mrscrafty100]

@sherrilenett Gracias!! I really dont have a pattern, I have come to learn that when ever I try to do it a specific design it never turns out right, so I just go with whatever and it turns out good! =)

Sharing techniques is a very nice thing for you to do. A lot of soapers (myself included) like to keep secrets...you are so sweet. I'm not so sweet lol! You make snow glitter! Those colors are so bright and pretty together! Thank you!
