TREATMENT OF "BLEEDING HEART DESIGNS" 
Adelaide A /sop Robin ea it 
THESE designs are adapted from designs for lace by Miss C. 
Blackburn, of England, and must be treated daintily. 
For the plate design we would suggest a tinted edge of a soft 
grey green using the color of that name or the grey shade of 
celadon. Make the dotted background a delicate pink for 
the space in finer dots and a pale yellow for the coarser dotted 
space. Put in the leaves and stems with green gold; the 
flowers with Roman gold. Outline all delicately with Brown 4. 
For the finger bowl in glass, ground the dotted space inside 
the bowl with ruby or green stain and carry out the design on 
the outside in green and yellow gold with or without black 
outlines. For the saucer or bread and butter plate, tint the 
ground with Yellow Ochre %, Brown 4, %, adding ^ flux. 
Inside of design tint the white spaces ivory yellow, light, 
coarse dotted spaces, Yellow Ochre, and finely dotted spaces, 
Brown 4. Make the leaves a pale green, treat the flowers in 
flat pink enamels and outline all in brown, or leave the ground 
white, tinting inside with the Yellow Ochre and Brown 4 mix- 
ture carrying out design in same way or with gold outlines. 
The design would also be very decorative carried out in flat 
blue and green enamels on a white ground. 
TREATMENT FOR PLATE (Supplement) 
Anna B. Leonard 
THE turquoise color used in bands is composed of Deep 
Blue Green one-third, and Night Green two-thirds. To 
this mixture add one-sixth flux to insure a good glaze. Also 
add a touch of black to tone the color. 
For the shades of blue in the blossoms, the same color is 
used, adding more or less Dark Blue (Lacroix.) 
The blossoms, stems and leaves are enamel. First a body 
enamel is made by using Aufsetzweis two-thirds, and Han- 
cock's Hard Enamel one-third, adding about one-eighth flux 
to this mixture. 
This enamel mixture is then tinted with the blue mixture, 
making the different shades of blue enamel, according to the 
quantity of blue used. It must be remembered that the blue 
or color in enamel fires darker than when it is used alone. The 
light and dark shades of green are obtained by adding the 
greens to the mixture of enamel. 
To color enamel for the light green shades use Apple 
Green and Mixing Yellow half and half, then add Brown 
Green and a very little Ivory Black. 
When the darker shade is desired add to this more Brown 
Green and Chrome Green 3B. Add this to the enamel mix- 
ture until the desired shade is obtained, allowing always for 
the darkening change in the fire. 
The outlines are in Brunswick Black with a portion of 
Pompadour red added, enough to give a warm tone of brown, 
but not red. 
This design may be varied, the small panels back of the 
design may be of gold, or of gold dots. The whole design 
may be outlined in gold instead of black. Any color may be 
used instead of those given. 
The plate looks well in red, black and gold, or entirely of 
gold outlined in red. 
The design may be in flat gold or raised gold on a lustre 
background. The form, spacing and proportion are given, so 
that the decorator may take any liberty with the color. The 
plate, as it is, represents a copy from the original. 
" Edouard Manet et Son Oeuvre," by M. Theodore Duret, 
will shortly be issued by Messrs. Durand-Ruel. The work 
will be edited by M. Floury. 
DESIGN FOR BOWL— MABEL C. DIBBLE 
THIS design is much more effective on a celadon bowl, 
the cool grey green making a charming background for 
the blue and green enamels. Make the leaves quite grey, 
using Apple Green, Mixing Yellow, Brown Green and Bruns- 
wick Black, with one-eighth Aufsetzweis. The flowers are 
dark blue — Dark Blue — with touch of Brunswick Black and 
Deep Purple and one-eighth Aufsetzweis, let it be quite a 
brilliant blue. 
The row of white dots in the center of flower is the 
white enamel — one-third Aufsetzweis, two-thirds Hard White 
Enamel (Hancock's.) For band at base — all the solid black is 
dark enamel — fill in the little blocks with green, and the two 
oblong petals. Blue edge at top. The outline is black, two- 
thirds Ivory Black, one-third Dark Blue. 
If a celadon bowl is used, outline, dry thoroughly and then 
lay in the Enamels, all for one fire. Be careful to float the 
blue enamels on petals not quite to the outline. The soft 
celadon color forms a pretty border to each petal.
