Popular woodcarving teacher and author Betty Padden shows how to carve memorable ornaments to keep or give to family and friends. Imagine a tree decorated with your own beautifully wood carved Christmas ornaments consisting of angels, elves, polar bears, poinsettias, and more. You're sure to have a merry time with 6 fun wood carving projects, color photographs, and 23 original patterns. Step-by-step projects are divided into three categories--beginning, intermediate, and advanced. A special section on painting covers basic concepts of blending, highlighting and shading, so that even a novice can get great results. The best ornaments on the holiday tree are always those that are handmade. Giving these hand-carved Christmas ornaments will be almost as much fun as making them |
