Soap Carving

        Soap Carving

 
 
 
 

This is my soap carving. This soap carving is of to different types of leaves.
I choose to do leaves for my soap carving because I like the leaf roots and I think
their roots have a nice patteren and texture. I also chose to do leaves because it really
connects to my theme of natural forms as a leaf is a natural form




I choose to do a shape like this because it really shows alot of skills for
example carving, indenting and smoothing down but if I just left my carving
as the shape of the bar of soap then I wouldn't have shown as many skills as i have shown
by doing this soap carving.
 
 

Experimenting with the soap really helped me to make my final piece because before this
I had never carved soap before or used the tools. If I hadn't of experimented first
my final piece wouldnt have turned out how it looks now.

  1. You chose to make a challenging carving, well done.

    To develop your carving skills further do you think you could make another leaf that considers the entire shape more carefully and the patterns in the veins? See me if you need another piece of soap.
