Oh just love how the experience is real. She takes her time to walk you through, gives you very precise details, but still keeps it very simple. Not to mention, her voice is very soothing. Thank you.

You're the only one so far from all the videos I have watched that has shared their recipe!! THANK YOU 🤗🤗🤗 me and the kids have been using your Olive and coconut recipe 😁 we have made soooo much soap... We need to stop!!! 😂

Love this video! Beautiful soap. Thank you for including images from your trip and for acknowledging the indigenous culture.

Interesting orchid-like pattern in the final result. I have some of that red sand sitting in a jar. Was in central Oz for a week away back in '79. A lot quieter back then, just big road trains, a few tourist buses, plenty of willy-willies and drinks at the Telford Alice. Scaled the rock just before sunrise and watched the shadow of the rock contract back from the horizon as the sun came up. The Olgas were quite a sight as the light hit them. Eerie place when you go there. Unfortunately it was very dry so did not get to see the changing colours of rain on the rock of which John Williamson sings. King's Canyon was quite a surprise, right there in the middle of all that desert, a sudden, cool oasis in the blistering heat. Some small bats clinging to the walls. Think I drank a dozen cans of Solo that day which I bought at a one-dunny, one-tank (and, of course, one pub/hotel/motel) town on the way. Funny how it was too hot and dry for flies, there were hardly any at all. Nothing to eat, except dead tourists that have fallen off the rock, I guess. Bus driver told us that if you lined up the headstones of those who have died, falling off, around the base of the rock then they would go more than half way around and that's about half way of 6 miles if memory serves. Nice soap.

That sand is truly an amazing color........thank you for the closeup, and even more amazing how very red-red it makes the soap! Gorgeous effect! You are gifted as a soaper and a lovely person. It should make a fabulous facial exfoliate!

I like your recipe and following you because during the soap process you give us not only the recipe but the step-by-step explanation.

Best soap making channel ever

I just discovered your channel and absolutely love it! You take what seems complicated down to an easy to understand level. I also love how you respectfully acknowledge the Indigenous peoples in the territory where you live. I look forward to your new videos!

Wow just gorgeous soap. And thank you so much for all that information. I appreciate your videos

I am SO VERY THANKFUL for you and your videos Elly! You are so lovely and I can't stop watching your videos haha! Thank you so much for sharing so much wonderful information and recipes and for sharing the soap cutting! I plan to copy them all in my first attempts at making soap! I can't wait!!

Oh, what gorgeous sand! What a wonderful vacation you had and I thoroughly enjoyed your pictures. How awesome to be able to use this nature's lovely sand in you soap making! You are so inspiring, Elly, thank you!

Love the little back story with the sand. The color of that sand is amazing

I'm a plain old home soaper, I haven't used any additives, but now after binge watching Elly RU-vid, especially the tutorial how-tos, i want to experiment- thank you and this soap looks divine and luxurious to use

Oh Elly! The soap turned out sooooo beautiful! Thank you for taking us along your adventure. Love your videos!!

So simple, yet so beautiful, love the pattern, the sand is so pretty. Thank you God bless

I did a similar trip whilst backpacking aus in 2018 and it was a beautiful and moving experience to do the base walk and talk to local guides. that sand is incredible!

Wow, that’s just amazing and beautiful. Thank you so much, such a clear, helpful video.

Exactly what I was looking for! thank you Ally, I really love your videos 🌻

Thank you so much for sharing this video . What a stunning beautiful soap this is - love the red sand and gray swirl. In LOVE!!

I’m so glad you showed us the cut...what gorgeous soap. I agree it’s so disappointing when you watch a soap making video and they don’t show the cut.

Elly thanks for sharing such a beautiful soap. Now I want to go to Australia to pick up some of this amazing sand.

This is a beautiful soap , like how you made it so educational.

Hi Elly, thanks so much for posting this! It's a beautiful soap :) I hope you will do an update and tell us how the soap feels with sand in it. I am excited to see the results and if you like it. Also thanks so much for posting all your helpful videos ;)

The Color of the sand is absolutely amazing! Thank you for sharing this!

Such beautiful soap and a very cool technique. What a great way to celebrate your souvenir sand! Thank you so much for sharing the recipe and the photos of your trip 😀

I have made 4 batches of your hot process soap and I absolutely love how it turned out. I’m going to give the cold process soap a try now. The soap in this video is so beautiful. Love your videos, thanks for sharing your expertise!!!

Hello Elly, Thank you for sharing this technique. You do beautiful work!

Great video and it's so very kind that you shared the recipe 😊😊😊 at last someone helped us amateurs who just want to make a bar of soap ha ha. I made it with a different fragrance and colour and I was so pleased it came out lovely. My family are all enjoying it now I've watched a lot of you tutorials and they are my favourites explained so well Thank you very much for your kindness. X

Elly is my Favorite soap making channel. I got into it when I came across her aloe soap since my aloe plant has gotten so big. But really... this has been lots of fun to learn about and idk I think it is cool getting to make something special and your videos/ recipes have been excellent to learn from. Thank you!

Such a beautiful looking soap!

Wow! I am so impressed! Beautiful job!

Thank you. The soap looks beautiful and the place looks amazing. I have never been to Australia and would love to visit. Another place on my bucket list. 🙂

Wonderful. It’s so nice of you to include where you got your special sand. I’m forever after going to keep my eyes open from now on for this type of thing.. and.. a handy dandy little container just in case

This is a beautiful soap

Thanks Elly! Such a beautiful soap. I know you posted this a year ago but im getting through all your videos. Thanks for including the recipes as many don't. You give me the confidence as a newbie to experiment. Appreciate your work! ♥️

This is one of the most beautiful, subtle hanger swirl soaps that I have seen and thank you for sharing your trip with us...so happy that you were able to take some the wonderful sand, it really is an amazing colour and I am sure it is very rich in minerals too :-)

Wow beautiful soap and tutorial Elly. So clean and neat .Thank you for sharing.

I smiled when I saw that you were (are) also a Soap Maker ((=_=. You’ve kept me company late into the night - Sheesh!..the early morning! It’s after 3 😮 Been making my Summer Chutney...a bit the way you make bread ; ) ; ). // Usually it’s the Soap that keeps me up this late ((-_-‘. Albeit I must say, my body is beyond ready for horizontal. // Your bread looked incredible! Miss that scrum delish sourdough stuff now that I know that I should never, ever, have eaten anything containing gluten in my life. 😊😊 // Well done on your Uluru excursion. Such a Sacred Being, that great outcrop. // Keep on being your lovely unique Self. // Next day....well, no, same day really ((-_->> but I was in the ‘extension’ of the day before when I wrote the preceding passage, and thought I was Commenting’ on your Sourdough/parchment Post. // Meanwhile the Relish that I was gently, oh so gently, cooking whilst you & your Sourdough-making kept me company, is ready to bottle, the Preserved Lemons (from my backyard ; ) ; ). ) are done, the would-be Butter Culture is beyond ready to become Butter, the Plums ...& Apricots are waiting to be transfigured, the dogs are walked, fed, & Loved.....and I’m finally semi-stationary with my pot of White Tea accompanied by the still warm, heavily modified ‘French Yoghurt Cake’ bursting with Blueberries & slivered strawberries 🍓...moist, it is! ((~_-‘. Your soap vid has since been watched, & thoroughly enjoyed ((-_- // I must say - you are an absolute Master at cutting by hand. Your eye for a straight line is most impressive! ((-_| Definitely not one of my skills - even with one of those cheap ‘n nasty box cutters from China +:()....seems to make my cuts worse. There’s something to be said for the beauty & simplicity of the gentle Art of the ‘knife cut’. // Me too! It’s my favourite part of watching Soap-making Videos ...every last bar! Each a work of Art in itself, & each revealing their own message or character...a bit like Pooh Bear watching clouds ((-_>>>. Well, you’ve just watched the equivalent of a ‘Clayton’s Video’ - the video you watch when you’re not watching a video ; ) ; ) [being an Australian sister, I know you’ll know what that means...or can easily find out). Thank you for your posts, and being you. Now, where’s my bed?........... P. S. I have no idea why my text is now all scribed through 😮😮😮 nor how to fix it. Hope you can read this scribed video...

This looks sooo amazingly beautiful! Absolutely sove it! What a pity we don't have these coulourful sands in Europe! But we have some nice red clay... so I´m thinking...

Hi me again so I played around with some numbers on soap Calc. goal was to get a recipe as close as possible to match your 190 g water and 138 g of lye. I put the super fat at 2% and lye concentration at 42%. I got pretty darn close I got 189.32 g of water and 137.10 of lye. Thanks for making soaping fun. I really enjoyed your vacation pics!

Muito obrigada por compartilhar teus ensinamentos. Estou apaixonada e vou começar a fazer pra minha família. Todos tão lindos. Você é uma pessoa abençoada, pascenciosa para ensinar. Muito obrigada por esse carinho e atenção todo. 🥰😍😘🧼🧼

Wow your cutting is epic! Mine are always thick at the top, thin at the bottom

So beautiful 😍

As a knife fanatic who loves to sharpen knives...I find myself cringing every time I see your knife blade go through that sand filled bar of soap. 😆

You are awesome thank you

Elly i like your soaps your videos.Very nice.Thanks you.for recipe please more.

So extremely special.

WOW perfect cutting of the soap. How did you get them so accurate?

Mmmm! I love it. What other things can I use to influence the color for the swirl? Thank you, Elly!

Elly, I just found your channel...what luck! Your soap turned out gorgeous. I live near a beach that has super fine white sand which I would love to use for soap. How did you clean it prior to soaping? Is climbing Ayers Rock still allowed?

💖💞So beautiful!!

Love the way you make your video...very simple and looks easy to do, I think you're an expert cause that's how an expert does, make things look easy, some other video on the soap making that I saw makes me feel intimidated ...I just wonder how the sand would feel on the skin when it includes in the soap? Thanks for sharing.

Your videos have helped me so much , can we use mica in cp soap

So beautiful. Thanks for sharing. I'm curious to know, once it cures, if this soap will be lightly exfoliating.

Such beautiful sand, Elly! I just want to plunge my hand into it through your photograph! 😊 Energetically it has an incredible vibration. Cedarwood is an excellent choice to compliment it ((_~ I prefer the flatter soap tops too as I think the raised tops anchor water ...not good for the soap’s longevity.

It’s sand but similar to clay indeed rich with minerals 😊

Beautiful mam🥰

Bonsoir helly, merveilleux savon ! Merci beaucoup ! 🥰👍
