HERAMIC STUDIO 
297 
For the design use three tones of green, leaving flow- 
ers white with the yellow centers. The paths around the 
design are of Silver or Green, Gold outline for the last fire 
with a Dark Green or Black line. For the green mix 
Grey Green and Dark Green. Tint and dust the back- 
ground to make it stronger; the leaves need not be dusted. 
The Grey Green alone, or tinted lighter, will make the 
lower panels. The stamens of the flower are Black or 
Dark Green. 
This treatment will require three fires._Tht design 
is intended for a cylindrical vase.

ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS 
F. L. W. — The snow study in Keramic Studio could be rendered by- 
shading with Copenhagen Blue with Violet, leaving the china for high lights. 
The branches should be a purplish brown, use Banding Blue, Ruby and Yel- 
low Brown with Black in shadows. Make the sky a Grey Blue with a touch of 
Blue Green. Be sure that your branches are not hard at the edges. 
Mrs. D. G. — We can make no exceptions about answering ques- 
tions. These are answered only .in the magazine. In executing the plate 
with the wheat border in gold, the narrow black band inside rim should 
have wheat in gold, in which case the design must be picked out before firing 
and the gold applied for a second fire, or the design may be applied in raised 
gold where the paint has been removed, and gilded in a second fire. A gold 
band with the design in white picked out or in white enamel would also be 
good. In any case the band must be well dried and the paint removed from 
the design before further treatment. 
C. F. B. — Yes. Lustres may be used upon Belleek. 
F- D. — Lustre comes from the kiln spotted when dust has been allowed 
to settle on the china before firing. Also it is caused by moisture in the kiln. 
Usually, however, it is caused by dust and is prevented by drying the lustre 
rapidly in a clean oven or over an alcohol lamp and wiping carefully with an 
old silk rag before firing. You will find the subject of lustre decoration ex- 
haustively treated in the Class Room articles Keramic Studio, February 
and March, 1906. 
. To mend a broken piece of china, the piece must be taken out and 
the cement applied, then put in place and tie with asbestos cord if it will not 
stay of its own weight. 
See article in this number on preparing designs for illustration. 
M. C. — When the peep holes of the kiln are not left open long enough for 
the moisture to escape, it condenses on the china leaving a light spot with a 
rim of darker color, an effect similar to that made by spattering drops of al- 
cohol before firing. 
APPRECIATIVE LETTERS 
I consider it by far the most helpful and up-to-date paper, published on 
the subject. I hope my delay in sending in my subscription will not make 
me lose any of the numbers, for my file of Keramic Studio is one of my 
most valued possessions. Edna Hough,
