[Nfb-krafters-korner] What is Soap Stone?

Sat Mar 10 01:22:43 UTC 2012

It's what they grind up into talc. You can carve it with a file or a spoon
or a pick. It's fun, but messy. I have worked with sand stone before and it
also makes a mess but not quite so much flies around. I want to get back
into carving, but need an outdoor workspace.

My sister has done small soap stone pieces.  One of those was a small owl
that she made into a pendent.
