How do you carve a sphinx out of soap?

To carve a sphinx out of soap, start with a bar of soap and use a sharp knife or carving tools to outline the basic shape of the sphinx. Gradually remove excess soap to define the head, body, and legs, paying attention to details like the facial features and the paws. Smooth the surfaces with finer tools or sandpaper for a polished finish. Finally, you can add decorative elements or textures to enhance the appearance of your soap sphinx.
