patterns from Lora S. Irish, including: Bears Bobcats Buffalo Geese Deer Ducks
Eagles Flamingo Fox Horses Moose Owls Lions Sheep Raccoons Squirrels Wolves
Turkeys …and many more! North American animals will come to life with the
exciting scrolling patterns found in this book! Acclaimed artist Lora S. Irish
provides 61 precisely drawn patterns for everything from squirrels, raccoons,
and rabbits to moose, cougars, and rams. Choose from captivating ready-to-cut
patterns, each drawn with crisp, easy-to-follow lines. With just a little
wood, a pattern, and a scroll saw, any woodworker can bring the wonderful
animals that share our world to life on boxes, corner brackets, and wall
décor. The simple silhouette style of the scroll saw pattern is excellent for
reflecting the flowing lines of muscles and fur: Feathers can be delineated to
give birds and eagles flight. Ears can be tilted forward or laid back to give
wolves and deer expression. Full scenes with habitat areas, animals, and a
background of mountains and sky all can be created from one continuous piece
of wood. North America offers a wide variety of animal life to use in this
beautiful art form. Pesky raccoons can hide in the hollow of the old tree and
the graceful elongated stalk of the mountain lion can be captured against the
rocky ledge. Somewhere within the pages of North American Wildlife Patterns,
you will find your favorite North American animal. Those animals and birds
that are so popular in today’s art—such as the whitetail deer, the black bear,
the pheasant, and many others—can be found in several different patterns to
provide a wide variety of choices that spur your creative ideas. These
patterns were each created to easily be used individually or added to corner
brackets, weathervane arrows, and framed edges. Use your imagination as you
browse through the pattern pages—as well as the included gallery of finished
works—for the numerous adaptations you could add to make each work a unique
piece of art all your own. But most of all, have fun as you use these patterns
in your own scroll saw designs! Read more
