Finally, I am finished my soapstone. My carving has come a long way since I originally started carving the stone. When I originally started carving, I never thought that it would look that good, but when I finally finished, it looked great.
The first stage was simply carving away the negative space,and then making it so that the stone actually looks like an animal. I then focused on rounding the edges and smoothing out the rest of the stone. Next I started on using steel wool to smooth out all of the small cuts in the stone. Next I smoothed it all out even more so that it was completely smooth. Next I started putting wax on it, to make it shine after it had been baked. Finally, it looked like a shiny, stone wolf.
