Soap Carvings

I chose a penguin 

this is dial soap for my carving

final penguin from dial soap

both carvings

the blue penguin was carved from irish spring soap

all the shavings

melted my blue penguin and the shavings

the result made this goop

i put my goop in the freezer 

after a few minutes in the freezer i shaped the goop into an
ice burg shape and put a wick in it

i turned the penguin into an ice burg candle

I turned my penguin into an ice burg because it directly relates to the cold weather and climate penguins exist in. The reason i put a wick into the ice burg was to create a sense of balance between opposites: The fire that burns the wick and the frozen ice burg soap carving.
