Carving Egg Heads

Offert en anglais seulement

This book is the perfect start for anyone interested in learning how to carve detailed faces. Mary Finn uses her “practice stick” method to show you how to carve each feature – eyes, nose, closed mouth, open mouth – with step-by-step directions that even beginners will find easy to follow. Then she shows you how to arrange all these pieces into one wooden egg to make a convincing head.

Projects included in this book are an old man, a pirate and the Mad Hatter. Mary shows you how to adapt her carving techniques to flatter surfaces to make jewellery (like a bolo tie project) and how to paint your pieces for maximum impact.
