The Royal Guide to Wax Flower Modelling
Emma Peachey
Fashion a rose in wax so lifelike it never fades: Emma Peachey teaches the Victorian art. Her royal guide covers the materials and methods of modelling flowers in wax, an accomplishment prized in genteel parlors. Detailed, practical, and quaintly elegant. A window into a delicate lost craft of the drawing room. Note: a wax-craft manual rather than a natural history, filed among nature titles.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
