FROM THE CRITICS

Library Journal

Wellford's previous books, including Painting Pets on Rocks, established her reputation as a clever specialty artist. Using ordinary, smooth landscaping rocks, she paints amazingly realistic animals that appear almost three-dimensional. This collection of step-by-step projects for wild and domestic zoo animals introduces a technique for adding necks and heads using pebbles and wood filler, thereby increasing the repertoire of poses that the animals can assume. This is a delightful work to include in public library crafts collections. Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information.
