Spin swirls

[chloe]

Hi, all! I'm number 2 under international. I'm on this forum tons, asked questions here and there, but never really introduced myself... But feel like I know you guys hah. I've been doing the challenges since Nov I think.
Anyway glad to hear everyone is expressing themselves to Amy!

I cut my third attempt last night and am finally happy with one. I need to take and upload pics today before the deadline
Have to say though everyone's are brilliant again!! So much talent out there!

 

[reinbeau]

I'm a little perplexed. Why would you not cut them? But then again, why get so upset that someone didn't? Guidelines aren't rules. If they don't cut them they aren't going to look right and they won't win. I don't get the angst. Not trying to argue, I just don't get it.

 

[Sonya-m]

For me I just thought it was unfair that one soaper (it wasn't me btw) had been told they had to show horizontally cut pics - then others hadn't cut that way - that other soaper might have preferred not to but got told they had to. That makes it sound like a rule rather than a guideline.

 

[reinbeau]

It doesn't work if you don't cut it right though. That's what I don't get. They won't win. It's self defeating to not follow the guidelines. Why be upset about it? :::shrug:::

I think that there has been lots of controversy with several of the other challenges that made more difference to the final outcome of the votes etc. this one is less annoying to me personally but every month there seems to be some kind of controversy over what qualifies and what doesn't so I think we all just want clearer guidelines.

 

[reinbeau]

Ah, gotcha.

 

[not_ally]

Gotcha, newbie. I thought about that after I posted, and realized it was a bad idea for that reason.

 

[Sonya-m]

Finally got my link up!!

Where are all the soaps shown? I can't find them. Congrats to all who entered!

 

[Sonya-m]

You won't be able to until after voting closes on Wednesday.

But if you google April spin swirl or spin swirl soap challenge you'll find lots of them

Anyone got the rules for voting emailed to them yet? Should've happened 25 minutes ago. I haven't received anything so far...

 

[Sonya-m]

Nothing yet

 

[kchaystack]

just hit, Lets get voting!

 

[Sonya-m]

Whoop!! How to decide though?!?

So we vote in both sections??

 

[kchaystack]

Yes. we get 3 for you guys across the pond, and 5 for the US entries.

 

[Sonya-m]

Cool, I will go cast my votes!

 

[Saponista]

This is so difficult. Every soap has it's own merits!

 

[Luv2Soap]

I totally agree! I have no idea how I'm going to make this decision… So difficult… So many beautiful soaps!

 

[Saponista]

I have just spent ages commenting on people's entries and don't feel like I've even made a dent in them! I like to comment and encourage as many people as possible as I know how nice it is to receive comments on my own entry. It is a lot of work though!
