Woodworkers interested in woodburning will build their skill level through these three step-by-step projects for beginner, intermediate, and advanced burners. They will learn how to prepare wood surfaces before burning, how to transfer a design or pattern, and how to select materials for burning, coloring, and finishing a project. Methods for burning onto wood, leather, paper, bark, and antlers are detailed alongside ample pictures of pyrography on the various materials that will inspire novice woodburners. Numerous techniques are also discussed, including solar, negative, relief, engraving, torch, and hot wire. The most difficult area for burners—how to realistically create animal fur, feathers, and eyes—is addressed.

From transferring the carving pattern to preparing the wood and evaluating the various levels of depth, every cut of the carving process is carefully illustrated and explained in this beginner's guide. Carvers will learn which tools are best for which cuts and why; how to create realistic eyes, noses, and other facial features; and how to add texture to their projects. Ten additional projects await once the first whimsical tree spirit is completed, each of which includes three styles of patterns: an outline for cutting the basic shape, a depth pattern indicating the levels of relief, and a shaded pattern indicating texture and shadow. |

Quilling—also known as paper filigree or scroll work—is the art of rolling very thin strips of paper into elegant shapes, turning them into beautiful designs, and then gluing them onto a base for display. This new guide from the prolific Marie Browning presents a range of techniques, both traditional and new, that will delight and intrigue crafters. In addition to offering 28 unique shapes, it introduces some contemporary quilling possibilities such as husking, fringing, crimping and sculpting. Even beginners will enjoy creating simple but very attractive greeting cards and measuring their progress on more involved projects, including home décor items (like a Wedding Tin and Framed Botanicals) and beautiful jewelry.
