participants: David and Shoshanna Sumka_first pics


Shoshanna and I each have one of your sculptures, and we are enjoying them. The white one is exhibiting more change than the clear one, and for both with a challenge at first to figure out how to use them to wash as the soap did not want to cone off. so at first we only rubbed the bottom, but now we are able to get a but by rubbing hard elsewhere.
We had house guests using  the bathroom with the clear man, and  at first they didn't realize it was soap, and then they were a little nervous to use it. But it is going to take time to change.
The white one, which we use more, is softening its curves, but I really like the way the behind is shaped so I deepened it when I needed soap on a cleaning toothbrush.
Thanks for letting us participate. More to come.
David

Its week 2 and we have used our lovely soap on and off just to wash our hands.  The front still looks good but her butt is not looking to great.  But she looks great in black and white.  Enjoy!

Hi Silvana
I just want to write to you and thank you for giving us this opportunity to participate in your project.  I am very excited and hope that your soap transforms to something lovely.  I almost don't want to use it because I love the colors but know I must.  Anyway i hope you like and enjoy how my soap takes form.  i am sending you two pics today one before its first use and one after its first use.
I placed my lovely new soap in a proper soap dish.  The nicest one I had.  Before its first use it stood nicely.  OK here I go, I don't want to use it, but I know I must.  I will wash my hands with it today.  I do, the soap feels funny in my hands. I do not get much lather at all.   It seems to just slip between my fingers but in a dry way.  I attempted to place it back onto its soap dish but it begins to slide back.  To slippery now it will not stand tall in the soap dish. I stand it up in the counter.  There that's better, but it does not belong there.  Back it goes into the soap dish, it will lay there now again till its next use.
