Using a pencil, draw the outline of the sphinx on the block. Use plastic knives, spoons and toothpicks to carve your sphinx. Spray the finished carvings with fleck-stone paint to give the impression of stone carvings. Be sure to wear goggles so that flecks of oasis do not get in the eyes. Some solutions are provided.
