Carving caricature women

Debbie Barr captures the lighter side of women’s daily lives in her carvings, lives filled with triumphs and travails.

Debbie takes her readers step-by-step through the process of transforming a block of basswood into a lively caricature with concise instructions, sound advice, and over 250 color illustrations.

Once the carving is complete, instructions are also provided for painting the figure.

Eight patterns accompany the text. A photographic gallery rounds out the presentation, displaying additional figures sure to provide inspiration and insight to every carver.

This book will present satisfying challenges to beginners and will be a joy to the more advanced carvers.
