Standing in the Shoes - Mona Davila

I began thinking this project would be easy, but after destroying a few bars of soap I thought I could replicate some candles that I have that are in the shape of Martini glasses. I liked the shape and thought I could get the curves to carve out easily. I used a knife, spoon and chop sticks. It was a lot harder than I thought. The bar of soap became slippery if I held it too long. On the first bar of soap a piece fell off and could not be stuck back on so I had to start again with a new bar of soap. As you can see I still didn’t get close to it.

These are large candles in the shape of martini glasses. This is what I was trying to accomplish.
