Soap carving used to be a thing way back in the day and it looks like it is making a comeback. Don’t be fooled by the cutsy designs though this book is not for kids. It involves a sharp knife and loads of patience.
In Ultimate Soap Carving, Makiko Sone—founder of the Mizutama.Soap YouTube channel—shares her secrets for designing and hand carving a variety of beautiful soap designs by cutting, shredding, shaping, sculpting, and other oddly satisfying techniques that fans of ASMR (Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response) will love.
Personally I find ASMR irritating but I know my kids love it, so each to their own I guess.
I imagine this book on soap carving being great for anyone who enjoyed chiseling their name into a tree or a love heart onto the back of their school desk. Its woodworking meets cleaning.
