Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a comprehensive guide to the art of creating lifelike wax fruit and flowers. Published in 1864, it reflects a Victorian fascination with the delicate beauty and detailed realism that these hand-crafted objects embodied. The author meticulously guides the reader through every step, from making two-part moulds for fruits like oranges and lemons, to forming intricate multi-part moulds for more complex shapes like pineapples and pomegranates. Detailed instructions cover not only the casting process, but also the art of coloring and finishing the wax creations to achieve stunning authenticity. From applying rosy tints to achieving the downy texture of a peach, the book reveals the artistry involved in capturing the essence of nature in wax. The book goes beyond the technical aspects, delving into the creation of clustered fruits like grapes and currants using glass beads, and exploring the nuances of selecting the perfect wax and utilizing elastic moulds for specific objects. The author's passion for this elegant art form is evident throughout the book, making it a valuable resource for anyone seeking to explore the creative possibilities of wax modelling. By providing practical knowledge and fostering a deep appreciation for the natural world, this book offers a fascinating glimpse into a bygone era of artistic craftsmanship.
