Day of the Dead

  

In addition to carving soap, my mom and I made things using plaster gauze. I made this Day of the Dead Bride; she will be a present for my friend who is getting married, I hope she likes her!

A humble bar of ivory soap. . . 

Can make super cool things.

like a cat. . .

and a hippo.

I had a day off from work, so I spent the whole day crafting with my mom; making things to enter in the county  fair. We made animals by carving Ivory soap with a razor blades,  My mom made a hippopotamus and I made a cat based off of the cats by Venice Clay. Here is my cat stalking her hippo in the soap bushes, I was pretending that they were a scene from an Animal Planet show. We spent a lot of time on our animals, but I keep thinking of other animals I can make!
