An old tradition for todays carvers. Helen takes the reader step-by-step through the delicate carving process of one of the creche figures, with clear color photography illustrating each technique. Patterns and complete views for the Mary, Joseph, three Wisemen, three Shepherds, and the baby in the manger are included.
Helen completes the nativity scene with the camels, sheep, cattle, and donkeys. Helen has a highly detailed style of carving that is perfect for this subject. The reader is led step-by-step through the process of carving one of the animals. Clear color photographs illustrate every cut. A gallery of the other animals and patterns help the carver complete the set.
In earlier books Helen Gibson has shared her techniques for carving the nativity and the figure of St. Francis of Asissi. Now she turns her attention to one of the most dramatic figures in religious history: Moses. Harold Enlow drew the pattern and Helen leads the reader step-by-step through the carving process. Each step is illustrated with a color photograph.
Using over 250 color images, 4 patterns, and clear step-by-step instructions, the reader is taken through all the steps necessary to carve and finish each figure in the nativity in basswood: Mary, Joseph, Jesus and His creche, an angel, shepherd, the three kings, a camel, donkey, ox, and sheep. All of the materials and tools needed for these projects are listed.
