Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wax Flowers and Fruit Modeling Without a Teacher: With Illustrations; A Practical Treatise on the Art of Modeling and Coloring Wax, So as to Imitate Almost Any Kind of Flower or Fruit; Also, Teaches How to Make Wax Leaves, Crosses, &C It will be necessary to have the wax of different degrees of thick ness, as some flowers require much thicker wax than others. The double or thick wax is used for such flowers as Pond Lilies, Came lias, etc. Many persons use single wax, and by inserting a very thin mus lin between two sheets, and pressing them firmly together, thus make the leaves stronger and better able to endure hard moulding. The wax now comes all prepared in sheets, and the colors most needed in sheet-wax are White, Yellow and Green. More white wax is used than other colors in making flowers, as most of the other col ors can be produced by using the dry colors upon the White wax. These colors come prepared in bottles ready for use. Some persons may not be successful in coloring the wax, and so there are many other colors in sheet-wax - such as Violet, Pink, Crimson, Blue, Scarlet, etc., etc - but these are seldom required, as almost any person of ingenuity and skill can do what coloring is necessary.
