tlERAMIC STUDIO 
filled with hair and covered with the muslin and leather. 
A spring seat is made by tacking the webbing on the bot- 
tom of the frame, fastening the springs upon it, covering them 
with burlap and finishing as in B. Every part must be drawn 
tight and true, and the corners and edges be very neat and 
exact.

OLIVE PICK 
Emily F. Peacock 
THE Olive Pick (Fig A.) is made from sciuare silver wire, 
a little over one-eighth of an inch. Use eight inches for 
the olive pick and seven inches for the butter pick, (Fig B.) 
Anneal the handle end and hammer that on the anvil 
with a round faced hammer bringing it slowly into shape. 
This should only need a little filing to make it true. The 
pointed end of the pick is shaped by filing. After this is done 
take out all the file marks with emery cloth and polish with 
pumice and water or pumice and oil. 
When the picks are conpleted, etch a monogram in the 
Inroad end of each handle. 
TRAYS OF CARVED WOOD 
Emily F. Peacock 
THE oblong tray by Miss Jaeger was carved down the re- 
quired depth from i^ inch wood and the background of 
the design also carved down, so that the design was in low relief. 
The round trays were turned, the designs put on and carved in 
the same wa\^

DESIGNS FOR SILVER NAPKIN RINGS 
Emily F. Peacock 
USE a strijD of .silver about 5i x li inches, 19 gauge. This 
must be cut very accurately before anything else is done. 
Trace on the design and mark it in with a steel point. Clean 
very thoroughly and etch the background as described in 
the July number, 1903, page 73. When the etching is deep 
enough, clean the silver and solder the two ends together. 
First make the ring perfect^ round, by hammering it over a 
very true round hard wood pattern, with a wood or rawhide 
hammer, file l^oth edges very smooth, and polish with tripoli 
or rouge.
