Standing in the Shoes - Caitlin Dack

Everyone, meet Sweet Pea. I carved her out of a green tea scented, 1 ½ X 1 ½ in bar of soap. Technically, this would be Sweet Pea version 3.0. I had to try a few times, using different kinds of soap. I carved her with a small pocket knife. I chose to make an elephant simply because I like them. Being so large in stature, they fascinate me with their grace and elegance; also, one of my first memories involved elephants. I was at a circus once when I was about 7 and an elephant named sugar picked me up with her trunk and put me on her back. For some reason, I wasn’t scared. I didn’t even scream. I suppose it was peaceful or something.
