LITTLE BO-PEEP— SARA McINTYRE 
This is an arrangement in six square tiles or three oblong tiles for an over-mantel decoration 
in Deep Blue Green containing about one-sixth Yellow 
Green. With the brush cleaned in turpentine, pick out the 
lightest ones and shape where necessary. The centers are 
cleaned, then washed in Yellow accented with Yellow 
Brown, buds of Rose; curled leaf of Yellow shaded in Yel- 
low Brown; upper leaf of Yellow Green shaded with Brown 
Green; stems of Green. 
Second Working. — Tint border in Deep Blue Green 
containing a little Yellow Green. Pad this over the entire 
design, picking out the prominent ones and accenting 
shadows and centers with liner containing Blue. Re-work 
centers, leaves and stems. 
No. 4 — Red Poppies. 
Same as No. i. Poppies washed lightly in Lemon 
Yellow shaded with Yellow Red. Center Green. 
Second Firing. — Tint border in Brown Green. Pick 
out prominent leaves, darken, accent, rework poppies in 
Yellow Red. Put in black dots in center. 
No. 5 — Trailing Arbutus. 
Work same as Forget-me-nots, always keeping the 
form of the petals which are washed in with Rose, adding a 
little Ruby and Yellow Green for the shadowy ones. A 
touch of Yellow is washed in the heart of the prominent 
ones; a dot of Brown Green suggests the stamen; leaves and 
stems of Green. 
Second Firing. — Tint border with Yellow Green mixed 
with one part Lemon Yellow. Accent the darkest touches 
with Ruby and Rose; the lighter ones in Rose. Re-work 
leaves and stems. The center of these plates may be left 
white or tinted a pale ivory as preferred. 
No. 6 — Rose Tree Design. 
Is to be placed on the plate five times and is the same 
as No. i with a slight change in the stem and leaf arrange- 
ment. The whole number of designs can easily be changed 
to this tree arrangement. Of course they must space 
evenly and the stems radiate directly from the center and 
the root must suggest an inner band at an equal distance 
from the edge of plate. 
No. 7 — Black Raspberry Plate. 
Divide the same as nut plates. Wash in the dark 
touches in background with a grey of Banding Blue and 
Dark Green, working an occasional touch of Ruby into 
the brush. Blend this into shadowy leaves, forming them 
of the same colors. Pad the edges lightly. Next work in 
berries of Banding Blue, shadow side and accenting touches 
of Banding Blue and Black. Make one side of one of the 
two berries together of Ruby. Large, prominent leaf is 
washed in Yellow shaded in Yellow Browns, then in Ruby 
and Hair Brown. The other leaf is Green. On the left 
of the panel the two small leaves are brown and the large 
leaf is Brown and Green. 
Second Firing. — Tint plate in Ivory. Rework and 
accent all shadows. Stems of Ruby and Hair Brown.
