Product Description

More and more carvers are picking up the art form of Green Men and Wood Spirits. I guess it's the whole "historical symbols that link the forces of nature and humanity" thing.

OK, confession: I stole that from the back of the book. Here's some other things from the back of the book:

"In Wood Spirits and Green Men noted artist and author Lora S. Irish has created the ultimate sourcebook for carving these classic figures. Tips, techniques, illustrations and a full-color photo gallery provide the information and inspiration necessary to successfully create your own interpretation of this timeless icon -- regardless of what medium you select."

Inside the book, you'll find all the history of the Green Man and Wood spirit symbols. Renowned carvers Chris Pye and Shawn Cipa stop by and provide step by step directions for carving a Green Man and a Wood Spirit walking stick.

You'll also find 40 ready to use patterns and some shaded drawings as well. Clive Hicks provides a gallery of photos of historical Green Man artisanship.
