Helen gibson carves the animals of the nativity

A year ago Helen Gibson shared her techniques for carving the human figures of the nativity story: Mary, Joseph, Jesus, the wise men, and the shepherds. Now she returns to the story to complete the scene by carving the animals, of the nativity: camels, sheep, cattle, and donkeys. Helen has a highly detailed style of carving that is perfect for this subject. The reader is lead step-by-step through the process of carving one of the animals. Clear color photographs illustrate every cut. A gallery of the other animals shown from every angle and patterns help the carver complete the set.
