WILD ROSE UNITS TO BE ADAPTED (Page 117) 
Henrietta B. Paist 
THE border and units may be adapted to shapes in var- 
ious ways. The httle border of rose hips is beautiful 
with the unit in bright Red (Blood Red or Pompadour), the 
darker space or path in Gold and the panels in Deep Ivory 
(Neutral Yellow). 
The whole outhned in Black. 
The circle and oval units may be placed on bowls, pitch- 
ers, etc., and connected with abstract line panels, etc. The 
rectangular unit may be repeated to form a border and the 
triangular or upright units may be repeated on small vases, 
steins or bowls. They may be treated flat or in enamels, 
coloring much the same as suggested for larger designs, or 
they may be done in flat and raised gold and make a beauti- 
ful chaste decoration in this way. 
VASES, WILD ROSE MOTIF (Pages 119, 120) 
Henrietta B. Paist 
TINT entire vase mth a warm grey made by mixing 
Mason's Neutral Yellow and Warm Grey. After fir- 
ing, trace on the design and lay the space behind the design 
with another wash of Warm Grey to deepen. Clean out the 
design and lay the petals of flowers with a light wash of Pom- 
padour Red, the leaves with Ivy Green, and the stems with 
a thin wash of Brown. The space above the design is dusted 
with Gray Green. The tiny center of flower is Grey Green 
and the stamens of Gold. After firing outline the entire 
design with unfluxed Gold. The stamens may be of raised 
paste, for second fire, and covered with unfluxed Gold for 
third fire. If one wishes to use enamels, the petals of the 
flower may be laid with Old Pink Enamel. This is very 
effective with the stamens in raised paste.
