Soap Assignment part 2

Deconstructing Lonie



For the second part of the soap assignment we are to add 4 times and take away 4 times from one of our soap carvings. This is Lonie, my wolf who turned out a little bit off compared to the other. So I unfortunately will be destroying Lonie.

1st take away

I removed all of Lonie's limbs

2nd take away

I held him under a hair dryer for a few moments and then gave him an icy cold bath. It made him somewhat melty, but kept his form retained


3rd take away

I took a pencil and drove holes into what was now a soft soap


1st add on
I poured red ink into all the holes from earlier





4th take away
I then cut Lonie in half to let the ink pour out some





2nd add on

I then melted some wax and poured it on the two halves and some of the pieces cut off earlier







 3rd add on

I took some Gesso and poured it over the wax and soap it also mixed with the red ink, making some parts a pink color.






 4th add on
The final part was adding some nail polish to the half dried gesso when mixed together it created a marbled colorful look.
