Ivory Carving   The soap bar I used for carving was one from the brand Perla, this is because the bar had a flat surface on its back making it good material to use for carving. The pattern I made is a pretty simple one using nothing but straight lines, but despite all that it still looks fantastic to look at, no matter the shape. And as the saying goes, art comes from everywhere no matter the differences, be proud of what you can do. The art in which I did was inspired from the Byzantine Sculptures, I admire the patterns and the interesting figures formed on the sculptures and as said by Google "they were portraits of great impacting aesthetic". I myself like art very much especially ones that interest me a lot, looking at the Byzantine Sculptures, I was inspired to see how much you can do to plain looking surfaces and turn them into great pieces of artwork.

Torta The torta has a pretty confusing history. Some say it originated during the French occupation of Mexico in the 1860s. Some resources say that bakers in Mexico took inspiration from the French baguette and made smaller loaves called bolillo and telera, which were both used to make sandwhiches. In the southern Philippines, in Visayas and Mindanao torta is generally used to refer to small cakes. It usually refers to mamón or torta mamón , a native porous sponge cake delicacy that resembles a large cupcake with butter, sugar, and/or cheese on top, traditionally served with sikwate (a thick, hot drink made of ground roasted cacao seeds) for afternoon snack or merienda. And in the northern Philippines, particularly among Tagalog-speaking provinces and islands, torta refers to a kind of omelette made with eggs or eggplant, ground meat (usually beef or pork), and sometimes minced onion and potato.  ^(this is information to keep you from getting confused on which is which.)^  I'd
