In class writing reflection for 2/28

I see my craft as a form of Craftivism with nostalgic undertones. Since I'v decided to make home made beauty products, I see that as an opposition to large corporate consumerism, especially since it emmanates the ideals of sustainability and resourcefulness. I see my craft as re-romanticizing the good ole days where women's beauty products and remedies originated from nature, the garden, or the kitchen. For example: Bathing in buttermilk was supposed to keep skin fair. I also see this form of craft as idealizing the present day green and eco-friendly movements.
