DANDELION DESIGN FOR VASE— HENRIETTA BARCLAY PAIST 
TREATMENT FOR DANDELION VASE 
Henrietta Barclay Paisl. 
THIS design was intended for a cylinder vase, to be 
carried out in Green Gold and Light Green lustre. 
Lay the entire design and panels (treating the seed heads as 
suggested in the drawing) with two coats of Green Gold, 
leaving only the path around the design white. Burnish 
and lay over the entire vase two coats of Light Green lustre, 
padding to get an even coat. This gives an extremely 
decorative and beautiful effect. If one prefers, the path 
only may be laid with lustre. This is also a fine effect. 
The Gold is then left natural and not influenced by the 
lustre but harmonizes perfectly.

IF this study is used on a panel for framing, choose for a 
background a soft grey green. This will harmonize 
with the yellow blossoms and give a good background for 
the seed head, which will be first pounced out and then 
picked out from the background, strengthening with Olive- 
Green when the calyx shows through. The background 
may be made stronger at the bottom if one wishes, shading 
gradually from top to bottom — use Olive and Brown Green 
for strengthening. The flowers are painted with Lemon 
and Egg Yellow, shaded with Grey Green and Copenhagen
