bibliomaniacal searching to run across this gem and am sharing with those who
love the old arts as much as I!!!
These instructions are characteristic
of the elegant and genteel art and craft projects
our lady ancestors turned their hands to during the Victorian period and earlier!

wonderful creative art informational source revealing our heritage from early America and European!
A few
quotes:
"Wax-flowers are beuatiful when well made and gracefully grouped, let the arrangement be
what it may; whether a bouquet in a tasteful vase, choice collections
clustered together in a pretty basket, or in some other form
that a fine tast may devise ...we
shall have the opportunity of describing the mode of forming most of the flowers that appear
best in wax..."
What a historically educational and delightful art
instructional piece this is!
