Before I even started I took into consideration that there is a huge difference between soap and stone. I loved the way that the soap just peels off as I carved making it very easy to get to the figure within.
Pieces of soap quickly began to accumulate on and around me, making me wonder how messy it must be to break up huge blocks of stone. On my first attempt at creating the piece a thin part of the sculpture gave and I accidently decapitate my swan.
This made me wonder if all sculptures should be started at the top. It was very exciting to watch my ugly soapling turn into a beautiful swan.
