I also talked to my classmates and found out what kind of things they were doing to also get ideas. ]]> 2019-05-28 12:18:10 UTC https://padlet.com/saunde750/w5yh5glkmzy5/wish/363986660 saunde750 https://padlet.com/saunde750/w5yh5glkmzy5/wish/363986984 Today I figured out I was doing soap carving which sounds like such a fun idea of something I had never done before. I started and did my baseline piece. I looked at a picture on google and tried to imitate that with no practice beforehand. ]]> 2019-05-28 12:19:21 UTC https://padlet.com/saunde750/w5yh5glkmzy5/wish/363986984 saunde750 https://padlet.com/saunde750/w5yh5glkmzy5/wish/363987482 For Day 3 I just did research on different techniques that other people do to carve flowers out of soap. I watched two YouTube tutorials and also looked at multiple websites and read how people do it too. I also talked to Kyra which she is also carving soap so I went to her for more advice and to talk about ways I could enhance my baseline and grow from where I started. ]]> 2019-05-28 12:20:57 UTC https://padlet.com/saunde750/w5yh5glkmzy5/wish/363987482 saunde750 https://padlet.com/saunde750/w5yh5glkmzy5/wish/363988159 I started my second try at carving soap and watched a YouTube video while carving. I had a little trouble keeping up with the video at some points but overall I think the soap looks better than the first time I did it. ]]> 2019-05-28 12:23:08 UTC https://padlet.com/saunde750/w5yh5glkmzy5/wish/363988159 saunde750 https://padlet.com/saunde750/w5yh5glkmzy5/wish/364495685 2019-05-29 23:23:11 UTC https://padlet.com/saunde750/w5yh5glkmzy5/wish/364495685 saunde750 https://padlet.com/saunde750/w5yh5glkmzy5/wish/364497247 2019-05-29 23:32:28 UTC https://padlet.com/saunde750/w5yh5glkmzy5/wish/364497247 saunde750 https://padlet.com/saunde750/w5yh5glkmzy5/wish/364497403 2019-05-29 23:33:36 UTC https://padlet.com/saunde750/w5yh5glkmzy5/wish/364497403 saunde750 https://padlet.com/saunde750/w5yh5glkmzy5/wish/364497458 2019-05-29 23:34:03 UTC https://padlet.com/saunde750/w5yh5glkmzy5/wish/364497458 saunde750 https://padlet.com/saunde750/w5yh5glkmzy5/wish/364497531 I started another soap carving today and tried another YouTube video with new techniques. I think it turned out better than the first two and looks more realistic which is what I am going for. ]]> 2019-05-29 23:34:32 UTC https://padlet.com/saunde750/w5yh5glkmzy5/wish/364497531 saunde750 https://padlet.com/saunde750/w5yh5glkmzy5/wish/364497781 2019-05-29 23:36:22 UTC https://padlet.com/saunde750/w5yh5glkmzy5/wish/364497781 saunde750 https://padlet.com/saunde750/w5yh5glkmzy5/wish/364498145 I was looking up ideas on pinterest to try and figure out different things I didn't know how to do and also asking classmates if they had any ideas to try and learn from them. ]]> 2019-05-29 23:39:12 UTC https://padlet.com/saunde750/w5yh5glkmzy5/wish/364498145 saunde750 https://padlet.com/saunde750/w5yh5glkmzy5/wish/364498379 I pictured what I wanted my soap to look like and envisioned how people might carve soap and then just started carving. ]]> 2019-05-29 23:40:53 UTC https://padlet.com/saunde750/w5yh5glkmzy5/wish/364498379 saunde750 https://padlet.com/saunde750/w5yh5glkmzy5/wish/364498516 I learned that I do need to be super careful with my cuts and how I shape the soap and observed how the different tools I was using was helping or not helping it look like a flower. ]]> 2019-05-29 23:42:02 UTC https://padlet.com/saunde750/w5yh5glkmzy5/wish/364498516 saunde750 https://padlet.com/saunde750/w5yh5glkmzy5/wish/364498991 I learned along the way which carving tools helped and which ones didn't and fixed mistakes made along the way. ]]> 2019-05-29 23:45:30 UTC https://padlet.com/saunde750/w5yh5glkmzy5/wish/364498991 saunde750 https://padlet.com/saunde750/w5yh5glkmzy5/wish/364499103 I worked with different clay tools I had never worked with before and saw what kind of marks each tool made. From there I now know which tools to use and which not to use for this project. ]]> 2019-05-29 23:46:25 UTC https://padlet.com/saunde750/w5yh5glkmzy5/wish/364499103 saunde750 https://padlet.com/saunde750/w5yh5glkmzy5/wish/364499564 I talked to Kyra about problems I was having and what I was trying to accomplish and she helped me and gave me some pointers on things I could do better and when to use certain tools that she found successful. ]]> 2019-05-29 23:49:33 UTC https://padlet.com/saunde750/w5yh5glkmzy5/wish/364499564 saunde750 https://padlet.com/saunde750/w5yh5glkmzy5/wish/364500128 Today I watched a different video carving soap in a new way. It turned out different from last time which is because the soap carver started out differently than I did in the video. ]]> 2019-05-29 23:53:14 UTC https://padlet.com/saunde750/w5yh5glkmzy5/wish/364500128 saunde750 https://padlet.com/saunde750/w5yh5glkmzy5/wish/364603839 I learned that if I carve out the middle first the flower stays more inward and is less 3-D. I also observed that more delicate strokes left less of a mark but if you kept going over it it was make more of a mark in a more precise place. ]]> 2019-05-30 12:08:19 UTC https://padlet.com/saunde750/w5yh5glkmzy5/wish/364603839 saunde750 https://padlet.com/saunde750/w5yh5glkmzy5/wish/364604388 I wanted to make it look more realistic and almost pop out at you and so while carving the soap ]]> 2019-05-30 12:11:59 UTC https://padlet.com/saunde750/w5yh5glkmzy5/wish/364604388 saunde750 https://padlet.com/saunde750/w5yh5glkmzy5/wish/364604640 I learned something new and never carved soap before so I am really happy with how this one turned out because it does look very realistic. ]]> 2019-05-30 12:13:23 UTC https://padlet.com/saunde750/w5yh5glkmzy5/wish/364604640 saunde750 https://padlet.com/saunde750/w5yh5glkmzy5/wish/364605137 This project was really fun. I learned to do something new I had never done before. I learned that you can stretch and try something new and it is okay if you fail at first as long as you improve. I actually really liked soap carving and it was almost therapeutic and calming which I really liked. I may keep carving soap to keep getting better and its something to do that I like. ]]> 2019-05-30 12:15:44 UTC https://padlet.com/saunde750/w5yh5glkmzy5/wish/364605137 saunde750 https://padlet.com/saunde750/w5yh5glkmzy5/wish/364613091 I was having trouble thinking of things I could do for this project and so I learned that it is okay to not know right away what I wanted to do even when other people already knew. ]]> 2019-05-30 12:47:42 UTC https://padlet.com/saunde750/w5yh5glkmzy5/wish/364613091 saunde750 https://padlet.com/saunde750/w5yh5glkmzy5/wish/364613737 2019-05-30 12:49:49 UTC https://padlet.com/saunde750/w5yh5glkmzy5/wish/364613737 saunde750 https://padlet.com/saunde750/w5yh5glkmzy5/wish/364613740 Honestly I am not sure if this looks better than my baseline but I did try a different way of carving the flower but I don't think I will do it that way again. ]]> 2019-05-30 12:49:50 UTC https://padlet.com/saunde750/w5yh5glkmzy5/wish/364613740 saunde750 https://padlet.com/saunde750/w5yh5glkmzy5/wish/364614139 2019-05-30 12:51:25 UTC https://padlet.com/saunde750/w5yh5glkmzy5/wish/364614139 saunde750 https://padlet.com/saunde750/w5yh5glkmzy5/wish/364614143 This is my best soap out of all three and I am very proud.
