ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. 
. Mrs. C. G. H. — We answered your questions some time ago, the answer 
must have been lost before reaching the printing oiBce. Banding wheels are 
still used for putting on both color and gold, but need quite a little practice 
and skill to use successfully. Almost any make is good. We will give an 
article on painting red roses in one of the next numbers of Keramic Studio. 
E. W. S. — A professional artist is one who makes art a profession, that is, 
who makes art a means of livlihood in any way, either by selling or teaching. 
It is understood that a person does not become a professional until his or her 
art has reached a point where it does supply a lixelihood — making pin money 
by selling one's work does not make one a professional. It is not usually 
supposed that a professional is still a student under another professional, unless 
the latter is a great or noted artist. 
Mrs. F. E. S. — You will find an article on painting red roses in a coming 
number of Keramic Studio. Ruby purple needs to be ground or rubbed 
carefully with the medium on ground glass, it will then go on smoothly if 
there is sufficient oil — | extra flux is sometimes added but not usually. If 
powder color, a powder flux is used, if tube color, tube flux for gold colors. 
Miss H. E. B. — Your designs were received but were unfortunately lost 
in moving — if you will send again we will answer directly. 
Mrs. E. S. — For blackberries, the blue is washed thinly over the high 
lights, the shadows painted in purple, then a touch of black added in the 
darkest dark. The painting is dusted before each fire. The one color is 
dusted over the entire painting or parts of painting as directed — high lights 
are not taken out after it nor the painting retouched in any way. Usually 
only one or two colors are used in dusting. In a cluster of berries the dusting 
is usually done with one color over the berries which would naturally be in 
shade or background, high lights and all. 
Many studies for jewel work have been given in back numbers of Keramic 
Studio. We know of no other designs of this character. There is not much 
of this work done just at present, but it may be revived later.
