It's easy to allow day to day stress to push our fondest memories out of our minds.
This past weekend, my daughter turned eighteen years old and my memories of our past came flooding back. The whole pregnancy was amazing, the birth was hard, and the first few years with her was the finest time of my life.
The idea for this soap challenge is definitely based on your individual experiences from many years ago, whether it be from your childhood or young adulthood. Bring forth your fondest memories of a time that will always have a special spot in your mind.
"How can I do that in a soap?," you ask.
I imagine that you need to pluck out things, colors, feelings and whatever fits from your memories and show how you felt back then. Express yourself. You know that if you make soap, then you are an artist, so don't short change yourself.
Don't minimize your talent and abilities.
I believe there is incredible talent that you haven't tapped into.
Believe in yourself.
You have 3 weeks to complete this task. This project can be expressed however you see fit, but you have to explain it. Please do not post a soap you have already made. These challenges are meant to open a piece of you and challenge your inner self as an artist.
I ask that you please take a picture of your soap in natural light and that it be in focus. When you post it in The Soap Challenge Facebook Group, use the hashtag #colorfulmemories so I can do a search for it and your photo will be included in the judging.
Deadline: March 27th (Friday), 2015
Good luck to everyone!
Dig deep...
