Soap Carving By Rosalin Moore

A new bar of soap is easy to carve and shape, using fruit carving tools. I purchased these glycerine soap from a drug store. They were wrapped in cellophane. They were in many fragrances and inexpensive.      Do not buy the last bars on the shelf because they probably have been out of the box for a long time and would be too brittle to carve. But if you must use them, wrap them in a damp towel overnight to add some moisture to the texture before carving.
