This months challenge is ... December Inspiration!
What does December mean to you? Is it celebrating the holiday (Chanukah, Christmas, Winter Solstice)? Is it the weather? A specific activity? What do you look forward to in December? Is there a memory from a December past?
This challenge is about designing a soap that is inspired by the last month of year. If you're feeling uninspired, check out this calendar for some inspiration. Here's some soaps that I've made or found on instagram for further inspiration:
Rules for this month's challenge
1. Any soap can be used
2. Any method can be used to make your soaps
(soap dough, soap shavings, rebatch, molding ... any method at all!).
Whatever you imagine December could be, that's what this challenge is about!
Now for the usual rules ...
General Rules:
1. The only members eligible to vote are those with their names on the sign up list - regardless of whether or not you have submitted an entry.
2. This month’s voting will be password locked. Passwords will be PM'ed to registered participants ONLY. So please check your PMs when the voting begins.
3. No posting your entry photos until the entry thread is made. Non entry photos are very welcome!
4. You are allowed to change your entry photo up until the entry thread closes. So if you decide after you post your entry you want another try, and you like the second better, you can change it up until the deadline.
SMF Challenge General Rules:
1. To enter you must have a minimum of 50 posts and have been a member for a month
(sorry, but no exceptions to this)
2. Please add your name to the sign up list if you wish to participate
(you don’t have to enter a soap at the end if you don’t feel happy with what you have produced)
3. The challenge thread should be used to upload pictures of any of your challenge attempts and to ask for advice and discuss the technique with other members.
4. Constructive criticism is welcomed, but please try to keep your comments polite.
5. Competition entries must be uploaded to the separate entry thread before the closing date.
6. After the closing date, the winning entry will be chosen using Survey Monkey.
The winner will be announced October 3oth, 2018. There is no prize attached to this challenge.
7. If you fail to make the challenge deadline, you are still welcome to upload your soap onto the thread, but your entry will not be eligible for voting. We still love to see anything you have produced.
8. Even though there is no prize, this is still a competition. If your entry is deemed not to fulfill the general rules or the rules specific to the challenge in any way, then you will be given the opportunity to amend your entry. If this is not possible then your entry will not be included in the voting.
9. All the challenge mods reserve the right to have the final say on whether a soap is eligible for voting.
