The Art of Making Shadows Create 100 creatures /anglais

by Collins Sophie

Made using only your hands and a torch or lamp, shadow animals have a charm that has lasted through ages. You might have tried creating them as a child, even if your repertoire was limited to a shaky wolf (one of the first shadow animals that anyone learns). But in your great-grandmother's day, shadow-casting was considerably more sophisticated.

Reviews

[Sharon Barrow Wilfong]

Fantastic book showing how to make different figures with your hands so that they look like animals in shadow against the light. It's a nice, thick book with hundreds of possibilities.

[Sophie Crane]

Great little book, took me back to being a kid again with the shadow figures either on a wall or from behind a sheet. Lots of ideas to entertain.

This is on the hardcover shelf.
