Soap Turtles

Process pictures for my perspective soap turtle. .

Final Solution

For this project I took my soap turtle and 4 additive and 4 subtractive things to it.

For my additives I used;

-Sand

-Pastels

-Palm tree bark

-Candle wax

And for subtractive I;

-Cut off limbs

-Burned away wax

-Brushed sand away

-Melted and distorted pastels

-Poured OJ & let it wash off

I first cut all the limbs from the body

I then melted the main body using a torch, on a piece of palm tree bark and let the soap dry on the bark to adhere it together.

I crushed up pastels and sprinkled the dust onto the main body.

After melting and adhering the remaining limbs to the bark, I dropped sand on some limbs.

After dumping sand, I blew off excess and used the torch to melt the remaining into the soap. I brushed off some loose areas with my hand. I then torched the pastels in the soap to warp and blend the colors some. On the right side of the main body, as well as back left, I also dripped green candle wax into the piece. 

Finally I poured Orange Juice on the whole piece, letting it wash away leaving a thin transparent sticky orange tint coving the sculpture.
