PLATE— MABEL C. DIBBLE 
THIS is a simple design suitable for a beginner. Divide 
plate into sevenths. Make perfect tracing of one 
flower group, transfer to china laying the tracing directly 
on a line not between lines. Outline in Black and put gold 
edge on plate for first fire 
For second fire, prepare your enamels. For green 
leaves use Apple Green, Yellow for Mixing, Brown Green 
No. 6. Divide this, making part of it lighter by adding 
more\ Yellow for ' Mixing and darken the >< rest with more 
Brown Green and a little Brunswick Black. Theh add one- 
fourth Aufsetzweiss to each. Make fine small leaves and 
calyx in the lighter and stems and larger leaves in the 
darker green. 
For pink flower and buds prepare mixed enamel. One- 
third Hancock's hard white enamel (ground down with a 
very little Dresden Thick Oil) and two-thirds Aufsetz- 
weiss, thin with turpentine. Take Hancock's Carmine, 
grind down with Dresden oil, add one-eighth Flux, thin 
with turpentine. Add a little at a time to the mixed en- 
amel until a delicate pink. Add more Pink to part of it, 
for the darker petals. Pistil, a light green and stamens 
yellowish brown. Touch up gold edge and fire. Not too 
hot a fire as the flux will help the pink enamel to develop 
with less heat.
