Inlaid Soap

I first learned of inlays in a polymer clay class. The idea of an inlay is pretty simple, you carve out a design from the surface of an object, and fill it with another material. It can be done in stone, wood, and soap! (and many more materials.

Here is a list of the supplies I used and the video link is below.
