    What would be an easy wax for carving? The kids have been doing soap
    carving. They see me carving some wax and would like to try that too.
    So I'm trying to find a wax that carves more like soap, easier in
    general. 

    They've also done wax modeling using the beeswax often used in
    Waldorf school classrooms. How would that wax work for lost wax
    casting? It models easily when warmed in the hands. 

    It's much easier for me to get my work done when the kids can work
    alongside me, so any wax ideas would be great. I'll cast their waxes
    along with mine, in bronze. 

Thanks,
Kirsten Skiles
