ROSE PLATE 
Design by Adeline More 
lt/fAKE a tracing of about two sections of the design 
-*-▼■*■ and measure around the plate to see if it will come 
out evenly. If it does not the difference can be made up 
either by crowding each section a little or spreading it out 
more by adding to or taking off a little of the stem. This 
design could also be placed away from the edge of the plate 
about a quarter of an inch thus making the border wider. 
Trace the design on the plate and outline with a fine grey 
line of India ink. Oil stem, leaves, bud and band with 
Special Dusting Medium, the oil should be applied very 
sparingly, and dust with Water Lily Green. Oil the flowers 
and dust with Yellow for Dusting. The centers of roses 
and tips of buds are painted with Yellow Brown and a little 
Yellow Red. Straighten all edges of designs with a pointed 
orange stick, clean off all color from background and it is 
ready to fire.
