This book is written for beginning and intermediate wood carvers interested in carving a traditional Hopi kachina-style doll. Tom Moore, a respected kachina-style doll carver for forty years, provides historical information about the evolution of kachina dolls and kachina carvings. He traces the art form from the early days, when the dolls were intended to be educational toys for children, until modern times, when they became wood sculptures collected by non-Hopis, costing thousands of dollars. This fascinating book provides patterns, respectful background information, and step-by-step instructions for carving and painting Corn Dancer, Poli Sio Hemis, and Crow Mother in the traditional manner. Tom’s interpretations of the dolls include the traditional “belly-acher” pose, bright colors of the 1980s style, and the all-wood approach currently favored by Hopi carvers. The book provides a photo gallery, index of terms, and lists of tools used and materials required.

Die Graphic Novel
Im 17. Jahrhundert reist Robyn Goodfellowe mit ihrem Vater nach Kilkenny, wo er die letzten Wölfe des Landes erlegen soll. Robyn, die nicht jagen darf, sehnt sich danach, mehr zu erleben und schleicht sich eines Tages aus der Stadt. In der Wildnis trifft sie Mebh, ein Mädchen, das zu einem geheimnisvollen Stamm von „Wolfwandlern“ gehört, die angeblich nachts in Wölfe verwandelt werden können. Robyn entdeckt, dass die Wölfe und Mebhs Familie keine Bedrohung für die Menschen darstellen, und beschließt, ihre neue Freundin und das Rudel vor den Jägern zu schützen. Auf der Suche nach Mebhs vermisster Mutter stößt Robyn auf ein Geheimnis, das sie tiefer in die magische Welt der Wolfwandler zieht und sie möglicherweise in das verwandeln könnte, was ihr Vater zu vernichten plant. Diese bezaubernde Graphic Novel, inspiriert vom handgezeichneten Film Wolfwalkers, erzählt von einer unzertrennlichen Freundschaft, dem Mut, gegen willkürliche Autorität zu kämpfen, und der harmonischen Koexistenz von Mensch und Natur.
