Becoming Naomi Leon - Soap Carving

One of Naomi's talents is soap carving. She really believes that the soap is waiting to tell the story and she is just revealing it. It is obvious that this is something that is very important to her and when Clive uses the soap we discover how important it is to her.

As we have been reading we also discovered that Naomi's talent seems to be a trait that her father has. (As well as others in her family)







Believe it or not soap carving is something that people actually do!! There are some amazing pieces of art that are created by artists.

The following is a link for a gallery of soap carvings...hard to believe this is ACTUALLY soap!!!

The next link is a blog about how you can create your own soap carvings at home. Please remember if you use a knife or any sharp object to ask a parent for assistance, these are sharp objects we don't just use on our own.
