Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Spray-Work, or Nature's Printing
To the admirers of the beautiful I present these pages, in hope that in every home wherein they may enter they may meet with a welcome and long remembrance throughout all years to come; and if carefully read, you can become your own teacher in the art of making this beautiful misty work - spray, or nature's printing. The writer of this message speaks from long experience in teaching and making this beautiful and fascinating work. Home, the dearest spot on earth, would seem cold and chilly, even if it were furnished with grand and massive workmanship of man, if its walls were not embellished and its windows decorated with charming bits of art and beauty, made by some dear hands of loved ones at the family fireside: Every lesson learned at home, every act done or left undone, is not to be forgotten by any of us. Therefore we should first of all things endeavor to make home pleasing and attractive. It does not require wealth to do this, for we are aided by nature's rich and free bounty, in simple as well as great things; then let not even the simple things, as the faded garnitures and fallen foliage of the forests, fall to disuse, decay and forgetfulness.
Gather them, because our aesthetic tastes crave the presence of just such simple things as these.
