Additive/ Subtractive Changes to Soap Carving

Recorded are 4 additive changes to the soap carving of the ram along with 4 subtractive mutations to the ram as well.

Additive Changes:

First Change: Soap shavings
Yellow soap shavings from a different bar of soap were shaved and sprinkled on the ram soap carving.

Second Change: Sattle
A toy sattle was strapped to the back of the ram.

Third Change: Little toys

Toy mushrooms and a sown butterfly were pasted on the ram sculpture.  The butterfly was placed to the forehead of the ram.

Forth Change: Flower petals

Dark pink flower petals were removed from a garden flower. They were then sprinkled onto and around the soap carving.

Subtractive Changes:

Fifth Change: Flowers removed
The pink flower petals were torn apart and removed from the sculpture. As well as the butterfly.

Sixth Change: Legs removed

With a butter knife, all four legs were cut short from the ram carving.

Seventh Change: Severed body

Using the same butter knife the body of the ram was split in two.  The head was separated from the body.  Three toothpicks were then used to subtly reattach the two pieces of the body.   

Eighth change: Subtle cuts

Using a pin subtle cuts were drawn over the back and head of the ram.

Ninth change: Painting

Green lines were painted on the sculpture to look like vines.

Final Project with the wooden base: 

The wooden base has two parts to make the separation of the ram soap carving stand out more.
