For the soap carvings, my animal was a leopard. I did not include ears due to the fear of them breaking off before they were turned in. I included a wire tail on the white leopard but it was more difficult than I expected to recover the tail with the liquified soap bar mixture, but the wire did make it easy to form the curved angle of the tail. I used metal scraping tools to take away large chunks of the sculptures. I found that adding the last bit of detail like the fur, the eyes and face, and the toes made the soap sculpture seem the most life like in the end.
