Wildlife Designs: Original Patterns for Your Favorite Craft

Versatility is the main attraction of this manual that offers 30 handsome wildlife illustrations and 10 border designs suitable for transfer. Information is included about techniques for transferring both line and tonal patterns, illustrations are marked to show how to isolate parts of the design to use in conjunction with other images or alone, and the use of computers and copiers to modify patterns is also discussed. Although created for pyrography projects, the patterns are suitable for engraving, lino cuts, quilting, relief carving, stained glass, stencils, and tole painting—with color photos of finished pieces in all of the formats gathered in a gallery at the end of the book.

Sue Walters is an Australian woodburner who has won many woodworking championships. She is the author of Pyrography Workbook and a frequent contributor to Scroll Saw Workshop and Wood Carving Illustrator.
