A dark green with a spring green (yellow green) with a bright coral. This is a cactus with the blossom. I’m from AZ and was looking out my window for inspiration. You could make it with aloe Vera and the scent should be earthy yet fresh. Like the smell of dirt after a rain.
This soap is so beautiful!!!! I always wanted to try a striped soap but chickened out. I truly love your sight. I think black and white with a marble of gold , gray and whit with a manly sent. Anything you do will be beautiful. Thanks and blessings, Kathy
Miss Ellen these are so very lovely.🌹i always love these patriotic soaps. I thank you for your service. 🇺🇸 The color scheme I would love to see- green, black and gold. Green seaweed. Black activated charcoal, gold flax? Perhaps a spa bar? Happy 4th!🦋
Very Nice! How about Red and Black with a green and yellow swirl??? That would be a really nice color combination. Thanks for taking the time to create this beautiful bar of soap! 😊😊😊
Beautiful soap with the soap short makes it look like the flag. I would love to see an autumn theme, yellow, orange,red and brown soap with a maple leaf or a pumpkin on top . ( I might have to steal my own idea and make Autumn soap myself. LOL)🍂🍁
AMAZING! Call my nuts Ellen, instantly thought red,white,Green striped. Blue and white swirl with a star enbed. With the same tip but green with a streak of yellow to make it look like a lit up Christmas tree! Never too early for holiday prep! Scented with Natures Garden : Christmas 🎄 cabin
Hi Ellen Ruth from my family to yours Have a Happy & SAFE 4th of July. Also, l’m getting ready to open my own Etsy Shop. My expertise in Balms. I have made some balms by watching your videos. Then next thing l know l’m experimenting & making my own balms & having a ball. Just wanted to say you taught me a skill l can use for life & also make products others can use. ❤️💕💓🥳🎊🎉
So I'm in England, and at the moment we have tennis at Wimbledon. So I thought about using those colours - red and white to symbolise strawberries and cream for which Wimbledon is famous and green ITPS for the grass courts. Or the other way around, green and white stripes for the courts and red and white ITPS for the strawberries. Thanks for all your inspiration xxx
@@EllenRuthSoapI miss those days! I usually watch tennis but I hardly recognise the names. Missing it all this year as I’m stuck in hospital. Missing everything to do with soap making. Keep bringing those videos, I love 💕 them
Omg these are beautiful. Loved them yes make different colors black and white, orange and yellow with citrus scent. For Christmas red and green and the swirl part white and gold I think it will be beautiful. Specially you making it. Hope you make them.
Love this soap! Happy 4th. Of July and a special thank you to your husband and all other service members in your family, God Bless you all! For the colors I like a bright shiny blue, teal and white with an ocean type scent. I also really like the fall soap idea mentioned in the comments as well! 😊
Love this soap! I’m not good with layers but I had and idea based off of this design if I could do it. I lost my cousin and her daughter in 2020. My cousin was a firefighter and I would like to make a soap that is black and white stripes with one red one in the middle. Then cut that at a diagonal and make the other side white with a red star embed and and light blue star embed as these were their favorite colors❤
i love the soap if i do another version i would do lemon and honey or sunday ice-cream lemon and honey is fresh and sweet sunday ice-cream version is kind let kids happy and want to eat a lot
Autumn colors, caramel, burnt sienna, cream or ivory and sage green. Oatmeal milk and honey fragrance. Love your method of creating the stripes. So much easier than trying to pour each color with the mold propped on its side. Beautiful soap.
Hi Ellen, as always, so very beautiful! Fragrance and colors that I loved most from you I think was called Energy. The colors were vibrant yellow, lime green, hot pink and white. Would you possibly consider doing a video on using citric acid in soap? Would love to buy a few to cut down on scum and cleaning. You’re soaps are wonderful.
I like the new version of stars and stripes, the blue and white swirls give it a softer look. Blue, black and white are colours that would stand out. Fragrance I would leave to you to choose. Beautifully crafted bars Ellen. ❤🥰🥰
Oh, these are just perfect! I love them, especially for this time of year. How about yellow and black stripes for the bees? Maybe with yellow and white as the drop swirl or perhaps green and white? Too cute!
Mardi Gras colors of purple, green, and gold! Smells like a tropical drink (mai tai)! Or Halloween? Black, orange, yellow...I'd see in the drop swirl part a small embed!
I thought about black, white and pink. Also I could not find the link for the tool ... Wal-Mart for the cake slicer I think. Thank you, love all of your videos!
I’m novice soap maker to these advanced designs, curious about why the titanium in the lye for soap frosting. Gorgeous works of art. You always do a beautiful job.
Very pretty. I thought I seen you make this before. At least the stripes. I did a soap like this from seeing your. Mine was black and white stripes with a flower top. 😊
Ellen, I love this soap! I made a similar soap but not on the diagonal like that. Wow, beautiful! My husband is a Marine as well, and I was wondering if you had done or would do a Marine Corp soap? I have been wanting to. Happy Fourth!!😊
I've been wanting to do a Marine Corp soap, but haven't figured out the design I want to do yet.... I'd love to have one for the Birthday Ball time frame...
@EllenRuthSoap Awesome! I'll be watching! I know it's a hard one to design! Maybe like the beach one you just did with the sun inside...you could do the eagle, globe and anchor. I don't know all I can think is red and gold swirls.
Pastel: stripes in lime and yellow with a swirl of coral/pink and orange with a citrus scent to represent lime, lemon, grapefruit and orange. The dollops on top can be a white to represent coconut and can be topped with sugar sprinkles of a blend of the inside colours. 🤓
You are from Texas, right? You missed your chance to put a star embed in the blue for a lone star. 😆 Beautiful, striking soap. I love it! You made it different than I thought you would. I thought you would do the blue first, letting the soap cure in it's mold at an angle. Is there a reason you did it this way instead? I just want to know if it doesn't work that way for some reason.
oh my gosh! That swirl though!!!! Sweet! I just would love to get that swirl consistently every time I make soap. How would you suggest pouring that ITP mix to get that swirl consistently. SO LOVELY!
Another great design! I love that you got me thinking of different colors too. I have my first dahlia getting ready to bloom any day now and it's called tequila sunrise so I'm kinda expecting it to be yellow orange hopefully with a little reddish pink. I think the fragrance i would use is tangerine passion! I also love black and white with a teal swirl. Thanks for the video!
Love how this one turned out! Pinks and teals with piping and a soft glitter on top would be gorgeous 🩷🩵 Happy 4th of July to you and your family Ellen! 🇺🇸 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 ❤🤍💙❤️🤍💙❤️🤍
Mrs. Ruth, is there a way I can talk to you to pick your brain for some questions. I only started making soap about a year ago. I have learned by some books and RUclips. I only sell at shows. I have learned a lot from your channel. I don't have an Instagram. Not very good with new technology. Had a stroke a few years ago. So I do the best I can.
One of my favorite videos Ellen. Please thank your husband for his service for me. 🇺🇸
Thank you so much!
Mrs. Ellen, They came out beautiful!!!! Love it. Thank you for your channel. 🤗
Glad you like them!❤️💙

Oooo, beautiful suggestion ❣️
This is beautiful and you've inspired me! I am going to try this for Halloween with Black, White, Green, and Purple to make a Beetlejuice themed soap!
Sounds amazing 👏🏾
This soap is so beautiful!!!! I always wanted to try a striped soap but chickened out. I truly love your sight. I think black and white with a marble of gold , gray and whit with a manly sent. Anything you do will be beautiful. Thanks and blessings, Kathy
Cherry limeade colors and fragrance would be really pretty!

Nice❣️

Hi Ellen! ❤ i think red, white and green for Christmas or red, white and pink for Valentine's would be pretty too.
Love that❣️
Halloween. Orange and black stripes with purple swirl.

That would be cool!❣️
These are gorgeous Ellen. What about a beach theme combination .... yellow and blue stripes {sand and water}, with a red and orange swirl {sunset}
That's a fun suggestion☀️
Halloween. Black, orange with yellow swirling.
AMAZING! Call my nuts Ellen, instantly thought red,white,Green striped. Blue and white swirl with a star enbed. With the same tip but green with a streak of yellow to make it look like a lit up Christmas tree! Never too early for holiday prep! Scented with Natures Garden : Christmas 🎄 cabin

Red and green stripes with a silver in the triangle with a candy cane scene 😊
Love that❣️
That is the coolest soap ever!!!! 😊 God bless

Oh, I love those colors! When I was young I loved watching Wimbledon, when Bjorn Borg and John McEnroe were playing.

Black & white stripe with a leopard corner design. A musk type fragrance.
I like that 💕

You could add candy cane or Christmas bells as embeds.

That’s a beautiful color suggestion ❣️
Purple, pink and yellow would be nice. Black , gold and silver for a luxurious bar. Happy Thanksgiving to you all xx
I would love to see purple and gold swirled on top of a royal blue and white stripe.
Oooo, that’s a pretty combo❗️
Hi Ellen, as always, so very beautiful! Fragrance and colors that I loved most from you I think was called Energy. The colors were vibrant yellow, lime green, hot pink and white. Would you possibly consider doing a video on using citric acid in soap? Would love to buy a few to cut down on scum and cleaning. You’re soaps are wonderful.
Great color suggestion! I do have a video coming in a few weeks with citric acid👍
Watermelon colors!😊
Such an artist ❤
Such beautiful soap! My suggestion is for blue, green with white stripes- nature with scent fresh, tropical, etc.
Just perfect!!!!
I like the new version of stars and stripes, the blue and white swirls give it a softer look. Blue, black and white are colours that would stand out. Fragrance I would leave to you to choose. Beautifully crafted bars Ellen. ❤🥰🥰

Love love it!
Gold stars on top would be good to. Could do black/pink scent in love spell
I like that❣️
I thought about black, white and pink. Also I could not find the link for the tool ... Wal-Mart for the cake slicer I think. Thank you, love all of your videos!
Those bars are absolutely beautiful. Any color with black would look amazing. Black and purple. Black and orange for Halloween. Black and hot pink 😊
I’m novice soap maker to these advanced designs, curious about why the titanium in the lye for soap frosting. Gorgeous works of art. You always do a beautiful job.
The T.D. for the frosting was just to make a super bright white color with the red.
Lavender and apple green are my favorite colors. I think that would be beautiful! Maybe a lavender scent or crisp apple?
Oooo, that would be a pretty color palette❣️
Very pretty!🎊 🎉
Thank you! 😊💙❤️
Happy 4th of July Ms. Ellen. Great job on the Independence Day Soaps. The colors are awesome!
Thank you! You too!
@@EllenRuthSoapI may not be interested in 4th of July anymore but hey, nice soap you made
!
I love the black and white stripe idea. But what about teal on the opposite side. They would really pop I think.
That would be a beautiful color combo❣️
Very pretty. I thought I seen you make this before. At least the stripes. I did a soap like this from seeing your. Mine was black and white stripes with a flower top. 😊
Yes, I do this soap every summer❤️
orage and tan or rust color for fall or orange and black for halloween a pumkin scent or mocha or apples and oak or coffee
I'm thinking Mardi gras purple- gold stripes green swirls would be really cool .
That would be a great combo ❣️
Ellen, I love this soap! I made a similar soap but not on the diagonal like that. Wow, beautiful! My husband is a Marine as well, and I was wondering if you had done or would do a Marine Corp soap? I have been wanting to. Happy Fourth!!😊

Hey Ellen…the flag does wave in the wind…so your little waves are just fine! 😊
Yes👍❤️💙
Pastel: stripes in lime and yellow with a swirl of coral/pink and orange with a citrus scent to represent lime, lemon, grapefruit and orange. The dollops on top can be a white to represent coconut and can be topped with sugar sprinkles of a blend of the inside colours. 🤓
(It’s a colour scheme I use and it’s a hit!)
Sounds beautiful❤️

I'm not from TX, but I have 2 children that live there💙 ❤️ I just like this design, and get the best results this way.
another version is lemon and mint because make you feel good all day which one you want to choose and why
oh my gosh! That swirl though!!!! Sweet! I just would love to get that swirl consistently every time I make soap. How would you suggest pouring that ITP mix to get that swirl consistently. SO LOVELY!
Thanks! A medium trace is perfect for ITPS👍

I think the fragrance i would use is tangerine passion! I also love black and white with a teal swirl. Thanks for the video!
Your dahlia sounds gorgeous! Love the black, white & teal idea too❣️
Black and white stripes with a green or purple maybe even orange swirl would be awesome. And would be a design you could do at Halloween time.
Oh, I like that❤️
Love how this one turned out!
Pinks and teals with piping and a soft glitter on top would be gorgeous 🩷🩵
Happy 4th of July to you and your family Ellen!

Great suggestion! Happy 4th to you and yours❤️💙
This is such a beautiful soap Ellen,love the colours.Happy 4th of July to you and your family 😊xx
Thank you so much!❤️💙
Beautiful and stunning! As Halloween will soon be upon us how about some kind of Freddy Krueger colours?
Love watching your videos!! The soap is beautiful. Where do you sell your soaps?
I have a website where I sell👍
Gorgeous soap! I'm impressed with the red. What color is it please.
It's in the intro😉
@@EllenRuthSoap I thought so. I scanned through this THREE times and couldn't find it. I have now. Thx!
How do you make that amazing white color?
Titanium Dioxide gives a nice bright white color
❤❤❤❤❤
I thought that when you soaped the lye solution had to be around the same temp as the oil portion. ??
That's what most books say, but I've found over the years that it isn't a super strict rule to follow.
How about red, green and black
How about doing a series - all of the houses of Hogwarts with some fall scents?
Mrs. Ruth, is there a way I can talk to you to pick your brain for some questions. I only started making soap about a year ago. I have learned by some books and RUclips. I only sell at shows. I have learned a lot from your channel. I don't have an Instagram. Not very good with new technology. Had a stroke a few years ago. So I do the best I can.
I don't offer private consultations, but Bramble Berry and Modern Soapmaking have lots of great info.
You could give a bar of soap to the person who’s design you pick. Just a suggestion.
