Imagine a beautiful red rose. Now imagine carving that rose in wood. Impossible? Not with the techniques in this new book from award-winning flower carver Wanda Marsh.
Three projects - each incorporating new skills and techniques - are structured to guide you through the basics of flower carving. Learn to carve the simple, star-patterned petals of the morning glory, move on to the fringed petals of the hibiscus, then carve the delicate, nesting petals of the rose.
Each project includes:
- reference photos of the live flower
- full-size, ready-to-use patterns
- a list of common tools
- start-to-finish carving instruction
- step-by-step painting instruction
