Acanthus Carving and Design  by Bob Yorburg and Hans Sandom, Illustrator
Schiffer Publishing, 2010.
$24.99; 128 pp.

Acanthus Carving and Design is a book full of color step-by-step photos as well as helpful line drawings. The book provides information on preparation and design, in addition to detailed steps to draw and carve acanthus scrolls and leaves. Two projects - a bread board and a pierced panel - are included, along with a photo gallery to provide more inspiration. There is also a section on sharpening your tools and finishing your carvings. The subheading for the chapter titled Getting Started is “It Is Easier Than You Think”. Those are some encouraging words.

Whats the best thing about having my family here besides exploring California together?

(to see some off my day to day adventures and what project Im working on next, you can follow me on instagram at sarahmdorseydesigns) 


Having my talented Mom here to help me with sewing projects! Everything that my Mom makes turns out beautifully, so when the fabric arrived for the living room / office, I asked ... ok begged, do you want to help me make some pillow shams?

1 down and 1 to go!



We used KAS Cavillo Bluebird for the front and Waverly Stepping Out Pool and a navy blue bias tape for the cording.

Mom used the same method as the envelope tutorial that I wrote about earlier, but added cording, Ill be back later to share how she did it!
