Accomplished carver and teacher Mary Finn shows how to create all kinds of charming animals, each "born" from a commercially available wooden egg. Egg animals can come out of the egg in any direction and can be made standing, sitting, or lying down. Here, step by step instructions and color photography illustrate carving techniques for a crouching rabbit, sitting bear, chubby pig, and fire-breathing dragon. Readers will learn how to orient the egg, establish the basic outline, complete eyes, ears, feet, and other details, and paint the finished animal. These projects require only minimal working space and are great for those with limited access to saws or other large equipment. Each egg has the potential to become a favorite pet, a wild animal, or an imaginative character, and all provide lots of fun and enjoyment for the carver.
Starting with commercially available wooden eggs, Mary Finn shows how to transform them into all kinds of delightful characters, each with a unique personality. Using detailed, step by step instructions and color photography, this book shows how to create both "big headed" and regularly proportioned egg people, carve whole figures or partial figures, and add legs or go without. A list of ten basic steps is applied to each of four projects: a Santa carving, a man in a business suit, a butterfly-catching lady, and an ice hockey player. You will learn how to orient the egg, establish the basic outline, complete details such as eyes, hair, and clothing, and paint the finished project. Carving egg people is the ideal project for people with limited access to saws or other large equipment as well as for those who want an enjoyable "take-along" carving project.
This book is the perfect start for anyone interested in learning how to carve detailed faces. Mary Finn uses her practice stick method to show you how to carve each feature - eyes, nose, closed mouth, open mouth - with step by step directions that even beginners will find easy to follow. Then she shows you how to arrange all of these pieces into one wooden egg to make a convincing head! This method has helped hundreds of Mary's students, and is a sure-fire way to get started! Egg head projects included in this book are an old man, a pirate, and the Mad Hatter. Mary shows you how to adapt her carving techniques to flatter surfaces to make jewelry (like a bolo tie project) and how to paint your pieces for maximum impact. This book is terrific for beginners, and a great way for more advanced carvers to enlarge their skills.
As used in this study, CSEC refers to the exploitation of children for prostitution, pornography, nude dancing, stripping, or other forms of transactional sex. Regarding the nature and extent of CSEC in Atlanta-Fulton County, this study confirmed the findings of a previous study (Preibe and Suhr, 2005), which concluded that "it is impossible to quantify the number of girls who are being sexually exploited in Atlanta." This is due to a lack of systemic reporting and monitoring of how many youths are victims of commercial sexual exploitation. Still, several conclusions can be drawn about the child victims of commercial sexual exploitation (CSE) in the county. They are on average between 14 and 15 years old, African-American, and female. Risk factors include conflicts at home, prior sexual abuse, running away from home or missing, prior contact with justice agencies, financial needs, and truancy/dropping out of school. Regarding police responses to these youth, progress is being made in police viewing and treating these youth as victims and not offenders. Lack of resources, however, particularly regarding placement for these youth outside of security detention, is a problem for agencies that serve exploited and abused children and youth. Although CSEC is an important subset of child sexual abuse, it is only one of several issues in this domain being addressed by a host of public and private agencies committed to reducing abuse of children in the county.
The cows are in the milking shed, the horses are in the stable and the sheep are in the field. They all have their jobs to do to help make the farm a happy place to live. Someone's squelching in the mud and it's not the pigs. Who can it be?
