Katie: here's a pep talk, YOUR soap is desirable, as long as you're creating that's good Me, who has never made a single soap and never plans to but watches these videos regardless: 🥺 my soaps are desirable 🥰🥺💫
The color scheme works BECAUSE.....Blah blah blah something art student-y that equals a tertiary color scheme~ I love this soap. Potentially my favorite one you've EVER made!.....and that's a pretty difficult choice to make, honestly~
I just have to say that Katie’s spirit of kindness and generosity was such a huge factor in encouraging me to start making soap. There is so much gate keeping in any form of crafting that it’s so delightful and refreshing to see someone being so welcoming and encouraging.
Why does the orange work in this palette? HERE’S WHY: This is approximately a Triadic color scheme with yellow-orange, red-violet, and blue-green. Nudging the cyan/blue-green a little more towards pure blue also gives you a complimentary color scheme with the orange. The addition of the lavender also sneaks in a split-complimentary as well. Basically every color in this palette is working equally hard to support and elevate each other. Without the orange you lose a key component making the colors not feel as vibrant an punchy. Moral of the story, Orange is good.
@@ariana1042 Simpler explanation: Blue and purple are next to (analogous) each other on the color wheel. They kind of "blend" together because they're in the same color family but don't grab much attention on their own. The use of orange fits because it is opposite (complementary) of blue on the color wheel, and the contrast from opposing color pairings is very eye-catching. Katie used two different color wheel techniques together with great success ✌
How beautiful that “every color is working equally hard to support and elevate each other” ESPECIALLY since Katie gave that speech about community and unity!!!! Serendipity is awesome 😁
@@RoyaltySoaps Do it girl! You obviously don't make tons of merch. Only things that are really part of you and your products and your vision. This is how you operate and have done all along. I dare say "It is yours"! It's a good statement for WAY more than soap making. So it might be best to make it pleasantly graphic without much relation to soap (except your logo of course!). You are pleasant and positive and inspirational, and yes I am one of those subscribers that loves to watch you make soap even though I don't. Although I would love to someday. Wishing you all the best. It is those that give freely that get back the most.
I am SO relieved that you had the “copycat” chat because I’m a new soap maker, but I already have about 40 designs sketched out that I’m eager to try… a LOT of them being Disney related. As soon as this video started, I told my husband what if people think I copied Katie if one of mine is similar? Then he heard you talking and said “see? It doesn’t matter if one of them happens to be similar!” This soap is definitely one of a kind, and so beautiful! I can’t wait to see the rest of the collection.
Thank you so much! I’ve wanted to make soap for YEARS, but the thought of working with lye kept me stuck in m&p land. Then I found several soap making channels on RUclips, yours being one of them, and I decided that if I did my research and suit up for safety, I will be fine. You’re SO inspiring to me! Oh, and fun fact… my birthday is July 25! We’re birthday neighbors lol.
@@emmleedee I've been on MP as well cause lye scared me, now I'm so excited to try especially with the series she made last month. We've been inspired we know the safety measures it's time to go for it! Best of luck I bet they will be beautiful! 🌹
Your speech about not caring about other people copying your work really applies to so many different areas and it's honestly really eloquent and beautiful. Kudos to you!
I followed 6 soap makers for at first. One of them said in a video “please don’t copy me, come up with your own design” and now I follow 5 soap makers.
@@l.m.2929 You're right. There is nothing wrong in not wanting to be copied, but as Katie was saying, you can't remember everything you've seen, so if you're in the same creative community, not watching folks who expressly say 'don't copy me' can save you a lot of drama down the road if you independently have a similar idea. You can't have copied what you have not seen. As a hobbyist writer, I can't begin to count the number of stories I've started then read a book after I'd come up with my idea and started writing only to find out the stories were similar enough to make me uncomfortable continuing the story, even just for me. There are only so many ideas to come up with before they become variations on each other. So, while there's nothing wrong with not wanting to be copied, there's also nothing wrong with not wanting to take the chance that someone may claim you've copied them and having it look credible if the reality is that you use similar techniques and have a style that's independently similar. Art theft is a serious thing, but for every person who doesn't want to be copied, I have no doubt that at least one of their art pieces somewhere is appreciably similar to one that came before. They may very well not have seen that piece, but unless they have less than five to ten pieces, it's much more likely that it does exist than it doesn't.
When I first started soap making (for craft only) I made a gingerbread soap to give as gifts. I had a person criticize the soap because she had seen your channel and accused me of copying. It was my first ever high top soap and I was so darn proud of it! And i was so crushed. Needless to say I never gave her a gift again.
Did she not realize that Katie basically gives the recipe for others to try and probably recreate or alter for personal use. I bet the soap you made was beautiful and wonderfully crafted.
That's just absurd, especially since you were giving your creations as gifts and not selling them. How else are people supposed to learn if not by watching others? You don't just create an original masterpiece overnight.
Katie: "I want to talk about the copycat issue." Fiancé: "RUclips drama?" Me: "Yes, soap drama. the most wholesome and adorable drama there is. She just wants us all to support each other and I CAN'T WITH THE CUTENESS."
Looks the colors of early dusk. Just after the sun sets and the sky is starting to darken. The yellow of the sunset is gone but the gradient is there. I looove it!
Honestly, your "copycat speech" applies so much further than just soap making. I'm an artist, sometimes I over-worry about the exact things you're talking about, even though their different creative hobbies. Very comforted by your words and I will use them to empower me moving forwards
I really just love how positive and encouraging you are towards other soapers new and old. I too have had moments where I've thought of a cool design that I was super excited about, only to see it's already been done by someone else and therefore, afraid to make it and sell.
I think this color pallet would be perfectly completed with a happy and bright but still earthy green! There's always beautiful grass and greenery and leaves in a field of flowers! :)
Feel like I’m in the twilight zone. I’ll have a Disney “princess” soap come out this week. Your topic of conversation Is so fitting. Great message and soap
I wish more folks had your mentality on the "copy cat" issue. I had my confidence destroyed many years ago by an artist bigger than me because of a witch hunt. I had no idea who this person was, yet thousands were rallying with her in a design I had made claiming it was a copy. I have never been able to design yet alone look at my work the same again. The thought I would be "copying" someone inadvertently has destroyed my love of art. It's nice to see you encouraging folks to use that energy to create, not destroy.
As a fellow artist, I understand. I've seen so many things, sometimes an idea pops in my head and I have no idea who to credit with the idea. But in a small community I belong to we play a game where we "copy" somebody else's work on purpose. It really helps when your creativity is lagging. It's Layout tag. One person is keeper, they select a page layout and message it to the first person. They use it for inspiration for their page. Some copy it almost exactly, some use an element or two. They send it to the keeper, who sends your work to the next person, and theirs to the third, and so on. After the last person sends theirs in, the keeper displays them all, in order. It's really cool to see the progression.
Hey Krys, I don’t know you or what art you do but you and your art IS 👏🏻 VALID 👏🏻 witch hunts are awful and there’s too much cancel culture out there which breaks my heart because it scares away sooo many beautiful people from doing amazing art and things they love. We as a society need to address this more and put a stop to it. I hope you find a love in your art again some day ❤️ you are valid and amazing in your own way and nobody can (or should!!) take that away from you!!! ❤️❤️
Krys don’t let someone destroy what you love. The world needs artists. I’m sorry they led a witch-hunt against you, that is unprofessional. Take care and I do hope you get back to creating🎨
The teal/blue and the orange are complimentary colors. That’s why it makes you happy to have them together. It would turn brown if you mixed it. So pretty and definitely “Walts Garden!”
I've been trying to figure what is this vibe you give and after this video it finally dawned on me: STRONG fairy godmother vibes love your work, thank you so much!
There’s a quote I saw [on plagiarism] about how you’ll never look foolish for citing your sources, but instead look more credible and responsible. I think the same principle can be applied to the art community as well and Katie was well-spoken about her thoughts. Beautiful design, as always. 🧡
Thora Friganza I mean if they are that would really suck because unlike many standard knives crochet hooks.... well hook plus their blunt so they would cause some serious damage
I see Aristocats in the moodboard therefore already in love with this collection!! The Disney films from their Xerox era are such beautiful underrated pieces 💖
Katie I don’t even make soap, but you’ve inspired me to create my own candle company which I’m hoping to launch at the end of summer. Thank you for being a wonderful, inspiring, and encouraging creator. Your message is one of such joy and positivity and I hope that I can bring even half of that to my business.
For everyone reading this, remember that u r amazing, smart, sweet, and beautiful. U r loved even when u feel like u r not😘😘😘We all feel lonely sometimes, and life sucks sometimes. I hope u have an amazing day😘😘😘
Honestly with artistic hand crafted things like this, even if someone purposely tries to copy someone else, it won't look exactly the same. Heck, every bar in THE SAME BATCH looks different. By the way, this soap is absolutely gorgeous.
Me: "Gets a commercial" 3 secs later... Katie: "...After this quick commercial break" No commercial break... YT, could you kindly pull yourself together, please?
She and NailCareerEducation are such good videos to watch although for different reasons. Both creators give off a happy mom vibe that just makes you happy and accepted. Katie's is more playful as opposed to Suzie's more gentle tone, but they both have such calming and happy videos even if I don't make soap or paint my nails
I love hearing your opinion about the whole "copycat" thing. When I made soap back in the day and then for awhile was involved in a different artisan product industry, I noticed a lot of "this person copied me" behavior and it frustrated me. There are only so many colorants available, and so many combinations of those colorants, and sometimes, the scents we use inspire certain color palettes and that's okay for artists to have the same idea from that. And the idea that artisan makers should be competing with each other is sort of toxic. One soap maker cannot possibly make enough soap to wash the world. And artists as a whole should always be here to lift each other up. I knew you would agree, I've been watching you as long as you've been on YT, so when I had no doubts this video would be so open and welcoming. You've always be such a soap community activist and I'm so here for it.
I did a festival last year there was 2 soap makers me and a crazy chick. Came over and started telling at me. I gave her a sample soap and told her I have no idea who are...therefore I did not copy you. We both had in the pot swirls and I had bath salts and flower soaps. Both different colors. Even a customer said that lady needs medication. I reached out to her after the event bought her a soda and told her instead of screaming at ppl you should compliment them. The way I handled her brought me more business than her. I totally identified with what Katie said.
Katie-you have such a sweet spirit! I finally have a smart TV and have been watching you for hours. You ARE always my guilty YT pleasure anyway-but your speech at the end makes me respect you that much more! You’re a peach. I enjoy you so much! Some people don’t talk enough-talk too much…you’re jussssttt right! 😉 I wish I was your friend in real life! I LOVEEEE videos with LILY!!! Where’s our girl? LoL! I have been moving (packing and unpacking) for about a year!!! I can’t wait to make soap though and love learning all these tricks and treats from you! I’ve only ever made 1 loaf-but have been collecting to make more! You’re a great girl! Your parents did good! 🥰
That's exactly how I feel! I've made soap, spent time on a design and name, to see another one almost exactly the same with the same name! Surely coincidentally, and I've NEVER called them out publicly or personally. Just as you said Katie, how many soap makers make beach soaps, flowers, colors, etc. I've given them props! Ive made a soap inspired by one of yours and tagged you on Instagram! Keep creating everyone!!!!
One of the major reasons I have chosen to continue to purchase and support your company is because of your amazing supportive attitude and encouragement! You have inspired my own creativity on many occasions. I will happily and enthusiastically support businesses who foster positivity and a kinder community.
As a pastry chef, your speech just inspired me to start making soap! I will admit I feared it looking to much like yours because I'm shooting more for a pastry themed line but your speech is literally so inspirational and I can't wait to see what I can conjure up with my inspiration
The color palette is perfect!! It's what you would find in a wild nature garden or any garden. I don't think I've ever heard of a flower saying you don't match the color scheme here.lol. Would we all just mimic nature. Love all your stuff btw. Your so very inspirational. Thank you.
Honestly as an artist I always vocalize the fact no idea is 100% original. Inevitably even the most creative person will take inspiration from things around them to develop their art. Also with how many artists there are in the world you’re bound to have similar designs to someone! Your subconscious isn’t helpful either because you could see a cute frog drawing and then several months later you forgot about that drawing but now you have doodles of cute frogs because it makes you happy
Orange is a contrast color to those complimentary colors, love! It looks amazing! If you ever have trouble with colors, which it doesn't seem like you do, but it might be useful to print out a color chart! It has definitely helped having my cheat sheet, every now and then, lol. I love how positive, supportive, and kind hearted you are. It really helps to lift my fog of depression and doubt and inspires me to create; even though my craft doesn't (currently) include soap! So thank you! And keep shining beautifully, inside and out! 💖💜💙🧡💐
Exactly. But, the more I watch the more I think I'd like making soap. Lol Then I have to remind myself that I have an expensive hobby already. And remind myself how much I have invested in it.
No one will be able to completely copy anyone else. Thank you for being so generous with your knowledge and your time. You are genuinely inspirational.
I just got to your talk: maybe you and a bunch of other soap makers could do a monthly challenge with each other to quiet down the stolen ideas talk. Like everyone has to use the same colors or starting pallet and see how everyone does their own soaps with the same materials.
She literally makes my heart so happy. She is so respectful and beautifully kind. She helps me have more faith in humanity. And I just want to be her friend because I need her positivity to rub off on me.
I’m a florist and this design stealing thing is huge in floristry but like you said, we all make similar things all the time. There’s a huge difference between somebody making something similar or even copying your work, to somebody that will steal your pictures etc and outright claiming your work as their own. I have the attitude to other florists as you have to other soap makers. There’s room for us all!
Great color pallet! I love the design. I miss the question of the day. They were always fun and wacky. Caleb should write a bunch out and you pull from a jar at the end of every video. Maybe????
Orange & blue are complementary colors! That's why they look so good together. This palette particularly gives me Impressionist sunset paintings vibes.
I love your colors! If you do some digging about color wheels, you’ll find that you are very close to having double complementary colors, which is why they look so awesome together!
Katie's attitude and upbeatness, peronality and her thoughts are absolutely addictive and always makes my day feel a little brighter. Thank you for what you do Katie and being a positive influence in this world
I think my favorite bit about this particular soap is that it touches on something common between many of the movies that isn’t immediately obvious and isn't romance. ...Although flowers are, admittedly, often tied to romance.
Katie, I strive to be as kind as you. I always knew you are an amazingly spectacular human being. You and your family (the ones we've seen) ALL are that way. Shining examples of grace and kindness!!! I give your parents ALL my RESPECT and ADMIRATION for raising STELLAR HUMANS!!! Thank you Queen Mother and Dutchess Katie for your kindness, creativity and love to human kind! It truly humbles me and I thank you!!!!
I was talking about the whole copy kind of stuff earlier today to a friend and told them about this and past speeches youve said before and i agree with it all. If something inspired you, give a show out or credit for sparking that creation. People shouldn't assume theyre the only one in the world that came up with an idea and demanding credit for something doesnt leave a good impression on them for other people or customers. I like having a discussion in text more than verbally. But verbally is fun once in a while too. My mom also told me to tell you how much i love your shampoo bars so you know people like me want you to keep making them :D 🤗❤️
I love experimenting with colors in my art so when you had those 4 colors set up my brain immediately went “PLEASE LET THE LAST COLOR BE A VIBRANT ORANGE!” It makes such a nice floral combo
I keep looking for references to Anastasia. It’s my absolute favorite movie and I’d kill for the theme. Overall, I’m loving ALL of your ideas, you’re so inspiring and an amazing role model! -Kenny too.
This soap is so beautiful I have no words! It is I want to jump up and down stunning! I ordered the frosting club box and I can't wait until it arrives! It might take a while because I live in the Netherlands. (Not complaining because as it turned out it didn't bother me enough, bit shipping... Ouch!) Also I'd like to thank you again for all of your knowledge and sharing. You gave me the confidence to start soaping again. And I am so happy that I am making soap again. With colour and scent this time.
Thank you Katie for your positivity and your encouragement! I love watching your videos because it makes my day just a bit better! I hope you and your family are well
All (types of) talks has its perks. For me conversations in person, feel like i can really build a connection and friendship. While conversations via social media, eases my shy personality and social anxiety.
The color palette made total sense to me right away. You could pair any of those colors up with another one of the colors in your design and it looks good. Makes sense that all together they're fabulous!

I hope you find a love in your art again some day ❤️ you are valid and amazing in your own way and nobody can (or should!!) take that away from you!!! ❤️❤️
N
Krys don’t let someone destroy what you love. The world needs artists. I’m sorry they led a witch-hunt against you, that is unprofessional. Take care and I do hope you get back to creating🎨
Flora: Make it pink!
Fauna: Make it blue!
Katie: YASSSS NOW ADD SOME ORANGE!
I am LOVING this month's theme and can't wait to see all the soaps!
I'd love to see a twist in that Dynamic. That dress should have stayed blue though. 😏😏
Correction, it was Merryweather that wanted blue
This comment wins the internet for me today!
The teal/blue and the orange are complimentary colors. That’s why it makes you happy to have them together. It would turn brown if you mixed it. So pretty and definitely “Walts Garden!”
I've been trying to figure what is this vibe you give and after this video it finally dawned on me: STRONG fairy godmother vibes
love your work, thank you so much!
"I don't want to see any of that orange on the top"
Literally 2 seconds later
"now we just add the orange on top" 😂😂😂 I just thought it was funny
She didn’t want to see any of THAT orange on top it would have been too much, the little blobs are just the perfect amount to accent and not overwhelm
@@ninahendricks4218 haha I get it i was just saying I thought it was a little silly the way she said it. Have a wonderful day :)
I thought the same thing 🤣🤣 I love her
There’s a quote I saw [on plagiarism] about how you’ll never look foolish for citing your sources, but instead look more credible and responsible. I think the same principle can be applied to the art community as well and Katie was well-spoken about her thoughts. Beautiful design, as always. 🧡
"I'm in the crochet community and have found shocking similarities"
Me, watching this video while crocheting a scarf : oh wow that's true 😂.
Same!
Right there with you but my project is amigurumi.
Thora Friganza I mean if they are that would really suck because unlike many standard knives crochet hooks.... well hook plus their blunt so they would cause some serious damage
The knitting community has become unbearable.
That is part if why I look for free patterns when I see a nice item.
me: *never made soap in my life*
Katie: YOUR SOAPS ARE DESIRABLE, BE YOUR OWN CHAMPION!
me: ohh.. okay :3 thanks.
Katie: “the whole point of the blue layer is to cover the orange layer”
Also Katie: puts orange on top
The orange absolutely works, it's opposite blue on the colour wheel so they are complementary colours. I'm loving this soap!!!
Whenever someone says ‘titanium’ I think of Bob Ross saying ‘titanium white’ ,you’re basically the Bob Ross of soap
“I’m the Duchess of Suds. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.” Loved the message today, Katie!
I see Aristocats in the moodboard therefore already in love with this collection!! The Disney films from their Xerox era are such beautiful underrated pieces 💖
The art in those movies are just GORGEOUS
I remember watching the aristocrats often when I was five. That movie is my childhood
Aristocats was my favourite disney film when i was a kid, and it still is on my top list
Kaley Whipple same. It to this day is one of my top favorite Disney films
Agreed! I love the Aristocats! 101 dalmations and Robin Hood are also a couple of favorites of mine from that era.
I love your “copycat” speech! So many people need to hear this. Not just in this community ❤️💕💜💙🧡💚💛
I absolutely love that while she is working her magic with her soap she is spouting off wisdom about life. Such a wholesome channel!
Those colors look like Fantasia AND Fairy Godmother from Cinderella!!!
Katie: “after this commercial break”
Me: where’s the ads?? Whatever, I guess I get to see the soap sooner!!
If you have red.. thats why you don't get ads
"I dont want the orange to show on top. It has to be ahidden feature"
2 minutes later: throws orange splashes on top
M Willems I was thinking the exact same thing lol. She’s like let me hide it, but wait let’s add more. I love it
She never fails to make me laugh, or make my heart warmer.
I love Miss Katie
@@cheekyb71 She is a Mrs! 😄
😂
@@thairinkhudr4259 Mrs Katie doesn't exactly roll off the tongue though does it? 🤦♀️
Honestly I love how she handled that we need more people who think like that
Whoever edits these videos needs to get a gold star for matching each beat of your laugh with another picture of One Direction.
Katie I don’t even make soap, but you’ve inspired me to create my own candle company which I’m hoping to launch at the end of summer. Thank you for being a wonderful, inspiring, and encouraging creator. Your message is one of such joy and positivity and I hope that I can bring even half of that to my business.
Oh congrats! Hope it goes well 👌 the royal court sending out support
Emily Craig thank you! 🥰
@@emilycraig9897 all the best... I am sure it will come out great❤🤗
For everyone reading this, remember that u r amazing, smart, sweet, and beautiful. U r loved even when u feel like u r not😘😘😘We all feel lonely sometimes, and life sucks sometimes. I hope u have an amazing day😘😘😘
You, too! Thank you very much! I hope you have the most wonderful day, and that you realize how much better you make this comment section! ❤️🥺
Thank you so very much.
You are a very special soul!
Thank you for that! I hope you feel and know the same. Have a wonderful day.
Thanks and next time I recommend these emojis 🌸 or 🥰
I love your out look on “copying”. I wish everyone had this outlook!
Honestly with artistic hand crafted things like this, even if someone purposely tries to copy someone else, it won't look exactly the same. Heck, every bar in THE SAME BATCH looks different. By the way, this soap is absolutely gorgeous.
Me: "Gets a commercial"
3 secs later...
Katie: "...After this quick commercial break"
No commercial break...
YT, could you kindly pull yourself together, please?
Wait that’s exactly what happened to me lol
Same!!! "After this commercial break"
YT: "hold on, I'm not ready yet"
I got an add and then she said that lol. Poor timing
When ever I wanna die I just watch her make soap it’s kinda calming
Yesss! Watching these videos always calms me and makes me happy! 😁
She and NailCareerEducation are such good videos to watch although for different reasons. Both creators give off a happy mom vibe that just makes you happy and accepted. Katie's is more playful as opposed to Suzie's more gentle tone, but they both have such calming and happy videos even if I don't make soap or paint my nails
I love hearing your opinion about the whole "copycat" thing. When I made soap back in the day and then for awhile was involved in a different artisan product industry, I noticed a lot of "this person copied me" behavior and it frustrated me. There are only so many colorants available, and so many combinations of those colorants, and sometimes, the scents we use inspire certain color palettes and that's okay for artists to have the same idea from that. And the idea that artisan makers should be competing with each other is sort of toxic. One soap maker cannot possibly make enough soap to wash the world. And artists as a whole should always be here to lift each other up. I knew you would agree, I've been watching you as long as you've been on YT, so when I had no doubts this video would be so open and welcoming. You've always be such a soap community activist and I'm so here for it.
I did a festival last year there was 2 soap makers me and a crazy chick. Came over and started telling at me. I gave her a sample soap and told her I have no idea who are...therefore I did not copy you. We both had in the pot swirls and I had bath salts and flower soaps. Both different colors. Even a customer said that lady needs medication. I reached out to her after the event bought her a soda and told her instead of screaming at ppl you should compliment them. The way I handled her brought me more business than her. I totally identified with what Katie said.
7:45 does anyone else get toothpaste vibes from this? (in a a good way)
I thought I was alone 😅
I literally said toothpaste but I love it..🤣
reading my mind! For a second there she had that Colgate realness!
YESSSSSS I thought I was weird🤣
AQUAFRESH TOOTHPASTE
Katie-you have such a sweet spirit! I finally have a smart TV and have been watching you for hours. You ARE always my guilty YT pleasure anyway-but your speech at the end makes me respect you that much more! You’re a peach. I enjoy you so much! Some people don’t talk enough-talk too much…you’re jussssttt right! 😉 I wish I was your friend in real life! I LOVEEEE videos with LILY!!! Where’s our girl? LoL! I have been moving (packing and unpacking) for about a year!!! I can’t wait to make soap though and love learning all these tricks and treats from you! I’ve only ever made 1 loaf-but have been collecting to make more! You’re a great girl! Your parents did good! 🥰
That's exactly how I feel! I've made soap, spent time on a design and name, to see another one almost exactly the same with the same name! Surely coincidentally, and I've NEVER called them out publicly or personally. Just as you said Katie, how many soap makers make beach soaps, flowers, colors, etc. I've given them props! Ive made a soap inspired by one of yours and tagged you on Instagram! Keep creating everyone!!!!
One of the major reasons I have chosen to continue to purchase and support your company is because of your amazing supportive attitude and encouragement! You have inspired my own creativity on many occasions. I will happily and enthusiastically support businesses who foster positivity and a kinder community.
The color palette gives me major Cheshire Cat/Alice in Wonderland vibes. Kind of whimsical, kind of trippy, but it works very well.
It also works for Tangled. It really is a very "Disney" combo, all around.
Katie, you sold out of thousands of soaps in minutes. You’re definitely well known in the soap community.
As a pastry chef, your speech just inspired me to start making soap! I will admit I feared it looking to much like yours because I'm shooting more for a pastry themed line but your speech is literally so inspirational and I can't wait to see what I can conjure up with my inspiration
The color palette is perfect!! It's what you would find in a wild nature garden or any garden. I don't think I've ever heard of a flower saying you don't match the color scheme here.lol. Would we all just mimic nature. Love all your stuff btw. Your so very inspirational. Thank you.
So good to hear the "kindness in the community" speech! Such a topical message for these days. Kindness takes so much less energy than hate!!
Katie: "go do something fun for yourself I MEAN IT"
Me watching the video while working: "Okay I can't disobey the duchess"
"I don't see anything wrong with those col- ah, orange!" looks good to me!
Also I REALLY hope one of the designs is the lantern scene from tangled!
After a one year hiatus from soaping, you have absolutely given me the confidence to get at it again. Thanks Katie, you're absolutely the greatest 💗
Honestly as an artist I always vocalize the fact no idea is 100% original. Inevitably even the most creative person will take inspiration from things around them to develop their art.
Also with how many artists there are in the world you’re bound to have similar designs to someone! Your subconscious isn’t helpful either because you could see a cute frog drawing and then several months later you forgot about that drawing but now you have doodles of cute frogs because it makes you happy
Omg I love that speech it pretty much applies to everything
Orange is a contrast color to those complimentary colors, love! It looks amazing! If you ever have trouble with colors, which it doesn't seem like you do, but it might be useful to print out a color chart! It has definitely helped having my cheat sheet, every now and then, lol.
I love how positive, supportive, and kind hearted you are. It really helps to lift my fog of depression and doubt and inspires me to create; even though my craft doesn't (currently) include soap! So thank you! And keep shining beautifully, inside and out! 💖💜💙🧡💐
Exactly. But, the more I watch the more I think I'd like making soap. Lol Then I have to remind myself that I have an expensive hobby already. And remind myself how much I have invested in it.
Your "copycat speech" is FIRE!!! Now THAT is a QUEEN.
No one will be able to completely copy anyone else. Thank you for being so generous with your knowledge and your time. You are genuinely inspirational.
I don’t even make soaps. But that pep talk was super inspiring ❤️
I just got to your talk: maybe you and a bunch of other soap makers could do a monthly challenge with each other to quiet down the stolen ideas talk. Like everyone has to use the same colors or starting pallet and see how everyone does their own soaps with the same materials.
Great idea!
This is truly an awesome idea!
There is a soap challenge group that does do this once a month.
soapchallengeclub.com/
Oooo, I love this idea! Here's a theme, a color pallet and an inspiration picture. Now what do you all come up with?!!!!!!
There are these already!
The hardest part of floral toppings is seeing the casualties at the end. It’s inevitable! I know! But it’s also still tragic. T^T
The color palette reminds me of sunsets over the ocean 🌅
Also that in the pot part looks like a mermaid soap
She literally makes my heart so happy. She is so respectful and beautifully kind. She helps me have more faith in humanity. And I just want to be her friend because I need her positivity to rub off on me.
I’m a florist and this design stealing thing is huge in floristry but like you said, we all make similar things all the time. There’s a huge difference between somebody making something similar or even copying your work, to somebody that will steal your pictures etc and outright claiming your work as their own.
I have the attitude to other florists as you have to other soap makers. There’s room for us all!
I've set an alarm in my phone to buy this collection and haven't even seen the others! So excited for this line!!
Great color pallet! I love the design. I miss the question of the day. They were always fun and wacky. Caleb should write a bunch out and you pull from a jar at the end of every video. Maybe????
Katie: it remind me of an acrylic pour
Me: it reminds me of Aquafresh toothpaste. 🤨
Glad it wasn't just me, haha. Still turned out great.
I was thinking of it looking like toothpaste
SAME! That was my first association.
I'm glad it wasn't just me I was thinking toothpaste...I see toothpaste..very pretty still
I don’t even make soap but I think the point of view that you have about copycats is so refreshing and humble, you’re great Katie
Orange & blue are complementary colors! That's why they look so good together. This palette particularly gives me Impressionist sunset paintings vibes.
YESSSS DISNEY SOAPS!! I've been waiting for this for soooo long!! I would love a Disney Parks themed soaps collection, in future!
I love your colors! If you do some digging about color wheels, you’ll find that you are very close to having double complementary colors, which is why they look so awesome together!
We all need more of Katie in the world! When you can be anything, Be Kind
Katie's attitude and upbeatness, peronality and her thoughts are absolutely addictive and always makes my day feel a little brighter. Thank you for what you do Katie and being a positive influence in this world
The orange is a perfectly wonderful color for flowers
Woah i love this color palette. I might use it for a watercolor painting. I'll make sure to credit you haha.
Love it!!!! Once upon a dream will always be Sleeping Beauty for me
So excited for this upcoming collection!! I need some Disney-themed soaps in my life!
I think my favorite bit about this particular soap is that it touches on something common between many of the movies that isn’t immediately obvious and isn't romance. ...Although flowers are, admittedly, often tied to romance.
Katie, I strive to be as kind as you. I always knew you are an amazingly spectacular human being. You and your family (the ones we've seen) ALL are that way. Shining examples of grace and kindness!!! I give your parents ALL my RESPECT and ADMIRATION for raising STELLAR HUMANS!!! Thank you Queen Mother and Dutchess Katie for your kindness, creativity and love to human kind! It truly humbles me and I thank you!!!!
I was talking about the whole copy kind of stuff earlier today to a friend and told them about this and past speeches youve said before and i agree with it all. If something inspired you, give a show out or credit for sparking that creation. People shouldn't assume theyre the only one in the world that came up with an idea and demanding credit for something doesnt leave a good impression on them for other people or customers.
I like having a discussion in text more than verbally. But verbally is fun once in a while too.
My mom also told me to tell you how much i love your shampoo bars so you know people like me want you to keep making them :D 🤗❤️
When she said one direction I also totally thought One Direction, and died at browless Harry LOL
"hopefully everything will move out of my way if I go slow enough" 😂😂😂👌she's the best soaper on RUclips with a very funny sense of humour!
I love experimenting with colors in my art so when you had those 4 colors set up my brain immediately went “PLEASE LET THE LAST COLOR BE A VIBRANT ORANGE!” It makes such a nice floral combo
Orange and blue always work well because they are complementary colours ! That's a bold choice but always very rewarding
I keep looking for references to Anastasia. It’s my absolute favorite movie and I’d kill for the theme. Overall, I’m loving ALL of your ideas, you’re so inspiring and an amazing role model! -Kenny too.
In the dark of the night spooky soap woth inbed green bats and green swirls 😈 or once upon a december dancing bears and sawns soap 🤗
You won't find Anastasia in this group of soap. Because it was John Bluth and 20 century fox movie.
This soap is so beautiful I have no words! It is I want to jump up and down stunning!
I ordered the frosting club box and I can't wait until it arrives! It might take a while because I live in the Netherlands. (Not complaining because as it turned out it didn't bother me enough, bit shipping... Ouch!)
Also I'd like to thank you again for all of your knowledge and sharing. You gave me the confidence to start soaping again. And I am so happy that I am making soap again. With colour and scent this time.
7:50 'This to me, looks like...'
Me: toothpaste
I think that too
Oh my gosh i thought the same thing
Same
Long conversations FACE TO FACE!! I wanna focus on conversations and I love my convos with my besties!
My attitude is imitation is the best form of flattery.
Someone who is recreating something you have created obviously likes it so that’s a plus xx
Thank you Katie for your positivity and your encouragement! I love watching your videos because it makes my day just a bit better! I hope you and your family are well
I try to be unique but everything has probably been done, so I go on my drawings and ignore the world until it's done. Love all those flowers! ❤️
The new collection is inspired by dis-
Me: so I'm buying all of them I guess
She is going to be sold out in like an hour again. LOL!
All (types of) talks has its perks.
For me conversations in person, feel like i can really build a connection and friendship.
While conversations via social media, eases my shy personality and social anxiety.
The color palette made total sense to me right away.
You could pair any of those colors up with another one of the colors in your design and it looks good. Makes sense that all together they're fabulous!
