Description
Excerpt from The Art of Modeling Flowers in Wax
The art of imitating ?owers in wax is, perhaps, the most beautiful method known of preserving a life-like representation of garden-gems, as the form, color, and texture can be imitated to perfection; while artistic feeling on the part of the student is required to complete the idea that ?owers can be made to resemble nature in every respect, as regards form, color, the texture, stamens, and other parts OI the natural ?ower.
Most of the ?owers I have seen made in wax I will not call imitations of nature, but stiff, awkward, badly tinted things, devoid of beauty, verisimili tude, or taste. Nothing looks so unlike a natural ?ower and these faults can be easily avoided by a little Observation of nature.
