This is also called a "feely" sculpture because you are using your sense of touch to create it. You will stimulate your hand/eye coordination.
material needed:
a hand, a bar of soap, a table knife to carve with (doesn't have to be a sharp knife), optional pen or pencil, water, paper towel
let's get started:
1. Wrap your hand around the bar of soap until it feels comfortable.
Use the knife to carve out the area not occupied by your hand. It may help to trace the outline of the hand onto the bar of soap then carve it.
2. Once the basic outline is carved and the bar of soap starts to take shape, you don't have to hold it in your hand any longer. Carve the soap in areas that are pleasing to you.
Put your hand back on the soap if you need help finding places to carve out. Carve the soap bar where it isn't comfortable in your hand.
3. Carve a base so your soap sculpture will stand up.
4. When done, smooth out the edges with water and paper towels.
5. Let dry.
6. Display.
