MANUFACTURE OF WAX FLOWERS, FRUITS, AND FIGURES. ALTHOUGH wax flowers are no longer so fashionable as in former days, a great many are still manufactured. Museums make extensive use of them for illustrating botanical specimens, some being such exquisite works of art that it is difficult to believe they are not real but only imitations in wax. None but perfectly pure beeswax is used in making, and the greatest care is taken that it contains no adulterant. None of the numerous mineral or vegetable waxes have the plasticity of pure beeswax, and they are therefore not suitable for such work. The artist mixes a little Venice turpentine with the wax, which adds to the plasticity during the process of working, and as it evaporates in course of time, the necessary hardness is obtained. The turpentine is thoroughly boiled in water until the latter runs off quite clear, and then incorporated with the molten wax in sufficient quantity to turn the latter into a thick paste. It is then put into moulds and worked up into the desired forms. The proper proportions are 4 parts of turpentine to 50 parts of wax. To impart the required colour of natural flowers to the wax the pigments are mixed with it, as explained on page 120. In addition to this, various shadings are obtained by rubbing in dry powdered colours of the desired tints either with the fingers or various-sized stumps, with which the finest detail can be worked in. When making wax flowers the chief materials used are sheets of wax no thicker than paper, from which are formed both petals and leaves. To make these wax-sheets strips of paper, sized and glazed, are soaked in water, and the superfluous moisture removed by placing them between blotting-paper. These damp strips are then...
