Leaves
of
Flowers.
Where
the
manufactured
foundations
cannot
be
obtained,
patterns
of
them
should
be
cut
in
paper;
the
venous
appearance
may
be
imparted
to
the
wax
by
pressing
the
leaf
upon
it.

Sprigs
of
Plants.
In
the
construction
of
sprigs,
it
is
most
important
to
be
guided
by
sprigs
of
the
natural
plant,
as
various
kinds
of
plants
have
many
different
characteristics
in
the
grouping
of
their
flowers,
leaves
and
branches.

Selection
of
Sheets
of
Wax.
When
about
to
copy
a
flower,
take
care
in
the
selection
of
good
sheets
of
wax,
and
see
that
their
colours
are
precisely
those
of
the
flower
you
desire
to
imitate.
2536.
Imitation
of
Tints,
Stripes,
Spots,
&c.
For
the
tints,
stripes,
and
spots
of
variegated
flowers,
you
will
be
supplied
with
colours
among
the
other
materials;
and
the
application
of
them
is
precisely
upon
the
principle
of
water-colour
painting.

Fruit,
&c.,
in
Wax.
For
the
imitating
of
fruit
in
wax,
very
different
rules
are
to
be
observed.
The
following
directions
may,
however,
be
generally
followed:
The
material
of
which
moulds
for
waxen
fruit
should
be
composed
is
the
best
plaster
of
Paris,
such
as
is
used
for
plaster
casts,
&c.
If
this
cannot
be
procured,
the
inferior
plaster,
from
the
oil-shop,
may
be
substituted,
if
it
can
be
obtained
quite
fresh.
If,
however,
the
plaster
is
faulty,
the
results
of
the
modelling
will
of
course
be
more
or
less
faulty
also.
It
is
the
property
of
plaster
of
Paris
to
form
a
chemical
union
with
water,
and
to
form
a
pasto
winch
rapidly
"sets"
or
hardens
into
a
substance
of
the
density
of
firm
chalk.
The
mould
must
therefore
be
formed
by
impression
from
the
object
to
be
imitated,
made
upon
the
plaster
before
it
sets.
