 Iceberg artisan soap by Love Your Suds There's beauty to be found in imperfections. I have always liked the idea of embracing things that are perceived as being imperfect and transforming them into design elements. This concept is perfectly captured by the Japanese philosophy of wabi-sabi, which encourages us to see the beauty in the flawed or imperfect. I also find that when I give myself permission to make mistakes I become more relaxed and often find greater enjoyment in the creative process. Any unplanned deviations along the way can then become opportunities to discover new and exciting techniques. This is one of the things I find most rewarding about soap making; the sense of being on a journey and making new discoveries.
