Anyone know what to use to get those tiny embeds! I love that soap!

I think a clay extruder should work.

Do you think soap dough or softer soap?

I've had good luck with some MP columns in soap. I found Crafters Choice GM base to be soft enough for my wire cutter to go through and doesn't sweat. Looking at the mica colors in the embeds, I would guess using some kind of MP. I haven't seen mica hold that much shimmer in a CP/soap dough. Do a quick search for the maker on YT, maybe they have a channel.

I'd bet on soap dough. Once you have the dough, you could maybe knead mica into it and give it a glimmer. I've got a bar I have been wanting to make for a few weeks now that is going to need a lot of extrusions. I'm either going to buy a clay or fondant extruder or make one out of PVC and a caulking gun.

Some people just have it lol
Also, I think you gotta be one of those who likes these kind of soaps.... I like looking but I wouldn't personally wanna make em.
But I agree, her soaps are very nice to look at. Most. Some, for me, are a tad excessive, but to each his/her own, yes?
Indeed a clay extruder will work.

Absolutely! They are beautiful to look at. Don't wanna make them lol. Too fussy for me, bless all those talented people who can pipe, I cannot! I just love seeing what she makes.
Thank you SoapWitch, I have the fondant extruder but have not tried that soap yet. I haven't made soap for several weeks, feeling rather uninspired. Hopefully I'll get that inspiration back soon.

After seeing her glorious soaps on IG, I found it astonishing that she is so early in her soaping career. Interview with the maker, here:
Great artistic talent--beautiful fun creative designs.....love it!

Cute soaps! This one, too.
Oh I wish....I have 0 artistic skill, so I can only dream..I so admire the beauty makers!
I think we need to amp up the inspiration. Here’s one made with some of the natural colorants we’ve been posting about lately. The maker also posted an IGTV video showing the annatto and paprika infused oils being added to the batter and then the pour.
Here’s the link to the video: https://www.instagram.com/tv/B73oTtGHIR2/?igshid=xmhb6mphgnqc
I’m surprised by the small amount of infusion used to get the great color in the soap.

Red clay, indigo and annatto for me don't need much at all. In most of my soaps I divide the superfat amount between the colors and very few of em are pastel-ish
I found these lovely soaps when I was looking for wedding soap inspiration. They’re colored with clays and botanicals. Made by Loam and Lather, from IG.
