Gary Batte is well-known in carving circles for his
fun-loving caricatures. Now, he brings that same carved humor to a smaller
format - caricature pins and bolos.
Perfectly sized to wear on a jacket or hat, these cleverly designed pins and
bolos are ideal for any occasion. A Christmas mouse dons Santa's hat before
snooping through presents; an Easter chick breaks out of a brightly colored egg;
a lovesick Valentine smiles at his heart's delight….
Carving notes and painting tips plus a color photo of the finished piece
accompany each pattern. Gary also includes detailed instruction on basic pin
making and basic bolo making. Start today on caricature pins and bolos that are
as fun to carve as they are to give.
- Quick and easy to make - The majority of the pins and bolos in this book can
be made in less than half an hour.
- Only a few tools required - A knife is all you'll need to carve many of the
pins and bolos; gouges can be used to add finer details.
- Perfect for any skill level - Carve as much or as little detail as your skills
allow.
- Guaranteed to bring smiles - No one can resist a happy-go-lucky frog, a
winking Santa, a fun-loving clown or any of the 56 other caricature pins and
bolos presented here.
