"Ultimate Soap Carving by Makiko Sone is a tutorial guide with 25 projects showing how to carve soap into various decorative shapes. Released 26th March 2019 by Quarto on their Quarry imprint, it's 128 pages and available in paperback and ebook formats.
As shown on the cover, there are numerous fun small soaps with a surprising amount of detail. The author shows step by step how to proportion and carve all of the different shapes. The first 15% of the page content is given to a thorough introduction of tools and materials including specific appropriate carving tools along with a short safety sub-chapter and extra advice on carving with youngsters.
The second chapter (25% of the content) covers template placement, carving techniques, and some carving lessons which cover the techniques necessary for the project tutorials which come in chapter 3.
The tutorials are arranged roughly in order of difficulty in three sections: easy, intermediate, and advanced. I was surprised how intricate and beautiful the projects are. All of the tutorials are well and clearly photographed.
The end of the book includes all the templates for the projects (as well as a link to printable pdf patterns), along with a short index and author bio.
There just aren't that many carving books out there, and this one is quite good for beginners as well as intermediate learners. The author makes a very good point in the book that the skills learnt by carving soap can also be applied to carving fruits and vegetables decoratively as well as learning to carve harder materials.
Four stars. Well worth a look for the crafty reader.

Disclosure I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes - The cover is absolutely adorable with a charming cat, an amazing unicorn and a sweet turtle. It is sure to pull in craft people, especially those new to soap carving, such as clay crafters like myself. The aspect of soap carving that attracts me is the low expenditure. Usually, with a new craft, one has to outlay some money to get all the necessary tools and materials. With soap carving, there are very few required supplies plus soap you can even buy at the dollar stores.
After a brief introduction to the history and benefits of soap carving, the book is divided into three sections — Materials and Tools, Essential Techniques and Carving Projects (Easy, Intermediate and Advanced). I love that Sone presents these 8 Carving Lessons in order to learn and practice before jumping into the projects. These exercises teach techniques that will later be needed for specific projects, including circular scalloped patterns, delicate waves and triangular patterns. Sone also includes information about coloring and embellishing your carved soap.
Then there are 25 projects, divided into Easy (10), Intermediate (10) and Advanced (5). Since I’m new to soap carving, so I appreciate that between the lessons and the easy projects, there are a total of 18 that I will feel comfortable trying. Some of the Easy projects are a cactus, dachshund, cat, and sheep. In the Intermediate section, there is an umbrella, high-top sneakers, an orchid, etc. Finally, the Advanced projects include a unicorn, a mermaid and a gardenia, among others.
Ultimate Soap Carving is a fun and colorful book with an inviting and friendly layout. Sone goes step by step with text and both clear and large photos illustrating what to do. I can’t wait to get a carving knife and begin this fun craft. There’s always soap around the house that can be shaped into something beautiful.
Thank you to Quarto Publishing Group - Quarry Books and NetGalley for an advance reader copy in exchange for my honest review. - Ultimate Soap Carving
Easy, Oddly Satisfying Techniques for Creating Beautiful Designs--40+ Step-by-Step Tutorials by Makiko Sone is a book I requested from NetGalley and the review is voluntary.
This book is amazing! I loved just looking at the lovely art work! This book has everything from little cute animals, detailed dresses with pearls, unicorns and other fun stuff, gorgeous flowers that look real, to things like picture frames with delicate designs. So many projects and all with step-by-step instructions and lots of photos.
When I was looking at the book I thought I would never be able to do something like this! After reading the instructions, watching the close up pictures, I could understand easily what they were telling me! I think I probably could do some with practice!
Not only does this give you the projects, it shows and tells you so much more about soap carving. It explains what tools you need, what they are used for, how to paint on soap, melting, shaping, blending, adding adornments, and more. There is so much packed in here!
Yes, the patterns for the projects are in here too!
I adored the simple and easy approach to learning a skill that looks so intimidating. Thanks!
