I recently bought a movie about the artwork of Andy Goldsworthy called "Rivers and Tides."
I watched it with my ten year old daughter, and halfway through it, she asked if she could carve a bar of soap, saying I had never let her before. I figured that was fine, so I got her a cookie sheet, her brother's Swiss Army Knife, and a bar of soap. I was working on paperwork I had brought home from work while watching the movie, so I didn't pay any attention until she said she was done and what did I think?
Tell me what YOU think (she titled them both and took her own photos of both designs):
"Design 1"
"Nature Inside Us"
Here's what I think. My daughter has got some seriously amazing artistic talent. Her "Nature Inside Us" piece has been the centerpiece on my dining table for a couple weeks now, and my house smells deliciously of soap. I love it. This weekend I plan to watch the DVD again and maybe she and I will head out and design something in nature like he did. Sounds like great fun.

Wow, that's great!`
Wow! I am so impressed. And what a great thing to share with your daughter!
Very cool indeed. How proud you must be!
Thanks, guys. She just saw your comments and smiled. :)
Wow, I'm impressed.
Okay, so I have to ask what she felt her inspiration was? How did she pick carving a bar of soap? How did she attach...ha ha, besides with a knife...her medium?
In other words... what makes your little artist tick?
SRC is a major up-and-coming young talent. No kidding. I LOVE her vision and work.
What an awesome imagination. She is/always has been a deep thinker. I love this. Maybe when she comes to visit, she'll make me one???
Love,

You know, SML, it's quite clear whose gene she inherited the most!
Well done, Little S!
I like these alot. The second one is really creative. I love the rock frame. It really adds a statement to the art piece. That girl has talent and imagination. Talent and imagination will take an artist a long way. I hope you find a way to preserve this first effort.
wow that is amazing
Cool! Looks like you have something there.
These are absolutely beautiful!
