Excerpt: ...From these arise what are called the binary or secondary colors, namely, orange, composed of yellow and red; purple, composed of blue and red; and green, composed of yellow and blue. These form contrasting colors to the primary three with which they are in harmonious opposition, as the orange with blue, purple with yellow, and green with red. From the combination of these secondary colors arise three tertiary colors--olive, from purple and green; citron, from green and orange; and russet, from orange and purple. These tertiary colors harmonize with the primaries, as they stand in the relation of neutral tints to them, but are in harmonious opposition to the secondaries, from which they are combined. Red, blue, and yellow harmonize with each other, and they may be placed in juxtaposition, but purple should not be near red or blue, as it is composed of these two colors; for the same reason, orange should not be placed next to yellow or red, the rule being that no primary color should be brought into contact with a secondary color of which itself is a component part; nor any secondary color brought into contact with a tertiary color of which it is a component part. Another rule is, that the secondary and tertiary colors, and the neutral hues arising from combinations of the tertiaries, such as brown, maroon, puce, slate, lavender, etc., should be used in the greatest quantities, and the primary colors used in smaller quantity for heightening the effect. If you lack the proper shades for producing the necessary harmonies, and find that two colors do not harmonize well, separate them by a white flower. Again, always place the brightest colors in the centre of your design, and gradually decrease the intensity of the tints as you approach the...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Floral Decorations for the Dwelling House: A Practical Guide to the Home Arrangement of Plants and Flowers The use of Floral Decorations in houses has become quite general in this country and this fact has induced me to write this little work, in the hope that it may prove a useful guide to those who, like myself, are fond of devoting a few moments now and then to the arrangement of cut flowers. Whether these flowers be choice, or only wild varieties, they will impart to the table on which they are placed an air of refinement that cannot otherwise be obtained; and the trouble and time spent in arranging them will be repaid tenfold by the pleasing effect produced. I must take this opportunity of thanking Mr. W. Robinson, Editor of "The Garden," to whom I am indebted for many of the accompanying engravings, which serve so well to illustrate the various styles of floral embellishment of which I have given descriptions in these pages.

Download or read book Nature Inside written by Penny Sparke and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2020-01-01 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of how plants and flowers have shaped interior design for over 200 years From ferns in 19th-century British parlors to contemporary "living walls" in commercial spaces, plants and flowers have long been incorporated into the design of public and private spaces. Spanning two centuries, Nature Inside explores the history and popularity of indoor plants, revealing the close relationship between architecture, interior design, and nature. Studying the international modern interior through the lens of plants in the human environment, author Penny Sparke attributes a degree of the interest in indoor plants to urbanization, and, more recently, the climate crisis, which serve as ongoing reminders that people must maintain a connection to, and respect for, the natural world. While architectural and interior design styles have evolved alongside the popularity of various plant species, the human need to bring nature indoors has remained constant.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is number one of a six volume collection that brings together primary sources on gardens and gardening across the long nineteenth-century.

It is a subject that is both global and multidisciplinary and this set provides the reader with a variety of ways in which to read gardens – through recognition of how they were conceived and experienced as they developed.

Download or read book In Nature s Name written by Barbara T. Gates and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2002-04 with total page 700 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the late eighteenth to the early twentieth century, hundreds of British women wrote about and drew from nature. Some—like the beloved children's author Beatrix Potter, who produced natural history about hedgehogs as well as fiction about rabbits—are still familiar today. But others have all but disappeared from view. Barbara Gates recovers these lost works and prints them alongside little-known pieces by more famous authors, like Potter's field notes on hedgehogs, reminding us of better known stories that help set the others in context. The works contained in this volume are as varied as the women who produced them. They include passionate essays on the protection of animals, vivid accounts of travel and adventure from the English seashore to the Indian Alps, poetry and fiction, and marvelous tales of nature for children. Special features of the book include a detailed chronology placing each selection in its historical and literary context; biographical sketches of each author's life and works; a comprehensive bibliography of primary and secondary literature; and over sixty illustrations. An ideal introduction to women's powerful and diverse responses to the natural world, In Nature's Name will be treasured by anyone interested in natural history, women, or Victorian and Edwardian Britain.
