I was having trouble trying to think what I could do for this one when someone mentioned that I could use the doll for the last one. I really like the idea that when I came up with doing a social media page for it and making it one of those people who take selfies all the time and post photos of them and everything they are doing. I was really looking forward to going out over the weekend and taking photos of her at as many places I could , but then I did my back out which put everything on hold even as my back got better I still wasn't up for doing too much with going heaps of places and getting in and out of the car to take photos of her everywhere. She stayed in my car for 3 weeks so every time I went somewhere I thought was a good place to take photos of her where I could. she got to go to Speedway and the museum and for a short walk on the walkway, I would have loved to take her to more places and done more things with her but my injury meant I...

For this one, I went with the idea of a zen garden. my first idea was to do a big teddy made out of soap but I needed to save the soap I had for the second project. so I thought of a different way to but something big and out of place in there, while at the op-shop one day I was looking for things to use when I saw the old Victorian dolls and found one I like and got it for the zen garden. To reinforce the size and scale of things I got some small farm animals to put in there too. I used a big tall vase to make the zen garden in. The water is made out of the same soap as the remix one. To put it all together I used sand that I bought for my 2nd project and stones. made some soap that looked like water to make a pound, made a rake for the garden and put the animals in and then the doll.

Remix

For my remixing mini project, I used my son's Lego and made the water out of soap, putting the fish and octopus in the soap with the boat on top. I needed something to put it in that is when I thought of the vase, the only problem was I needed something on the bottom around it that when I thought about using the orbez. They happened to work really well with the whole look. I was very happy with how it came out.

Unforatuentley all the photos I took didn't come out :(

Testing

For the final project, I knew I wanted to use soap and I tried many times to make the bowl element out of soap using a balloon for the mould, but unfortunately, this did not work so now I have to buy the glass bowl.

Ideas

One of the ideas I come up with over the holidays before we stared was to do something with soap. when the tutor started talking about our project and as it is being based on the water I thought it would work perfectly in with using soap for it.
