After a long weekend of soapmaking at Bramble Berry’s 4th annual Soap Weekend Intensive (see blog posts here and here), we’re back to work in the Bramble Berry Soap Studio filming a special episode of Soap Queen TV with Kristy from Kristy’s Lovely Lathers.
As usual, we had a blast on set. Kristy and her husband, Bruce, are true “salt of the earth” people and wonderful to be around. They fit right in with the fun-loving Bramble Berry production team. In fact, Bruce mentioned that he couldn’t believe how goofy we all were on set since our final product (the videos) are serious and to the point. Ha ha. Doesn’t he know soaping is always fun!?
This week we filmed two advanced cold process episodes with Kristy and one will be FREE! Yes. You read that right. What would normally be a premium guest-star episode will be all yours for free!
The other video will be a premium Soap Queen TV episode like we normally do with our special guests. But you don’t you want to learn how to make this bright, luxurious goatmilk soap? Hint: We used the awesome Bramble Berry Neons.
And then we had a guest visitor on set – baby Jamisen (love of my life) who completely stole the show! How can you compete with those chubby little cheeks? Notice he’s in the full Soap Queen get up. It’s nice that he’s his mama’s cheerleader so early in life. Or maybe just a soapmaker in the making.
Video below of the lil man in action on set:
A big thank you to Kristy and her sweet husband Bruce for flying out to visit us, soap with us and delight us with their creativity.
I miss you, Kristy!!! My sister from another motha. 😉
Still hanging for this video. Can’t wait to use my neons on something similar! 🙂
Soon – it took a little longer than we expected to master our own editing software (we usually send our videos to a professional company to edit) but it will definitely be out shortly =) Hopefully in the next two weeks…
No Anne-Marie, it’s probably taking so long from all the mess ups I did taping! lol
No way! Though we do have a fun blooper reel! =)
Omg, I can’t wait to see that one! It will be longer than the actual instructional video! lol Gosh we had so much fun though. 🙂
Kristy’s soaps are AAAHHHHmazing!!! I have a bunch here that I don’t want to use- they decorate my bathroom- she’s a talent. 🙂
I’m the say way! Her soaps are almost too pretty to use. She was amazing to work with on Soap Queen TV. We’re so excited for the video to come out.

I’ve used at least 3 of them so far and love ’em! Great silky smooth lather and nice bubbles for sure.
Lovely soap! Any word yet on when the video will be out:)
It should be sometime next month, but our video guy is pretty busy this summer. So fingers crossed!
Hi A-M, I can’t wait for this video. Being fairly new, how long does it take from taping to a release? Very exciting. Keep up the great work. JOEY
It depends on what other projects our editor is working on and our schedule. It will probably be a few weeks before this video comes out. So stay tuned. 🙂

Thanks Amber 🙂
I so need a tutorial with you two… what about exotic vacations in Costa Rica??? Sounds good, huh! Just let one soapy day for sharing knowledge with me, he he.
Your baby is beautiful Anne Marie, you are doing a great job as a soapmaker mom! well done!
Very cool, can you tell me which colourants those are in the second column picture on the left? They look like mica’s? Are they the neon colourants?
Michelle
We were playing with a ton of different micas and oxides during the shoot so it’s a healthy mix. I see Antique Blue, Copper Sparkle, Ultraviolet Blue, Electric Bubblegum, Aqua Pearl, Sparkle Gold, Ultramarine Blue and Red. I hope that helps =)

Just so you know, I only visit this blog anymore to see photos of Jamisen…LOL! Just kidding (sort of!). I love everything about the Soap Queen blog even though I don’t make soap professionally. 🙂
He he. Have you seen his Flckr set?! http://www.flickr.com/photos/brambleberry/sets/72157626436748463/ Tons of baby photos =)
The babe is so adorable! How do you find the time to do it all?!
I have the coolest, most awesome team at work and the most supportive, loving team at home. My family is amazing and my husband really works hard to make sure that we’re both getting our needs met. I’m so extremely lucky.
I’m so excited to see the videos! Wow, I really lucked out seeing Kristy in person – her personality is as bubbly as her soaps!
I second that! =)
I love looking at your great soaps, thanks for sharing.
Thank you! We are so thrilled to have people that share our love of soap!
Kristy has such a great smile; i am sure she is totally delightful!
How fun that her hubby came too!
She (and you) are good advertisements for soaping fun!
Rachel Ray MOVE on OVA!
She is so sweet ‘n’ bubbly – absolutely fun personality and sweet sweet person.
You look GREAT! Anne-Marie!
And Jamison looks adorable but also very very
SMART!
Can’t wait to see you new video and to do the column pour….
Great to see you on the “set” again!
Column pours are like a cool twist on the awesome Funnel pours. Fantastic and fun.
And I can’t wait to see the video too. Me ‘n’ Kristy had SUCH a rollickin’ fun time.
