Freebie Challenge April/May 2024 - "Soft as Plush, Smooth as Silk" - Entries Thread

Hylas

What is the softest thing you've ever touched? What was your favourite plushie when you were a child? Who's hiding underneath the down duvet? What are those fluffy little rabbits up to now? Which is your favourite oversized sweater? Who whispers softly, yet speaks with power? Have you ever eaten a souffle so fluffy and soft, it melts in your mouth? Why does everything look more romantic when you use a soft focus lens? If clouds are so airy and fluffy, how can they bring so much destruction? And just how does Rapunzel keep her hair so soft and silky? Wrap yourself in your softest knit blanket, the theme of the month is Soft as Plush, Smooth as Silk!
