Painting More Animals on Rocks
These are two decorative craft books from authors with considerable track records. Cagle, with 14 books and articles in Good Housekeeping and Redbook to her credit, here presents 31 projects applying fruit and flowers to baskets, birdhouses, boxes, kitchenware, and planters. Surface preparation, transfer patterns, painting, and glazing methods are covered in a glossy format. Wellford narrows her focus to painting only animals, and painting them only on rocks. Her first book on this topic (The Art of Painting Animals on Rocks, North Light, 1994) sold a remarkable 85,000 copies. These cute skunks on rocks, toads on rocks, mice on rocks, and cheese on rocks are fun and easy. Both books are recommended for popular craft collections.Copyright 1997 Reed Business Information, Inc.
