IT IS necessary in doing things for one fire, to be particu- 
larly careful in the handling of the color. Only enough 
oil should be used to keep it pliable, the less the better. Use 
a small brush, a number four square shader is excellent. Lay 
the color as smoothly as possible, avoiding the use of a pad as 
one is apt to lose much of the life and snap of the work in pad- 
ding it. A very simple list of colors was used in this design. 
Dark Blue, Ruby Purple, Carmine No. 3 and Moss Green V, all 
Lacroix colors, chosen because the quality of the tube color is 
so especially adapted to this kind of work. The colors were 
mixed with a bit of painting medium. 
The band and basket are blue-lavender made with Dark 
Blue toned with Ruby Purple and used in rather a light tone. 
The flowers are painted with Carmine No. 3. The leaf shapes 
are Moss Green V, toned with a wee touch of Ruby Purple. 
After the bands are painted in, the outer edge is cleaned by 
means of a paint rag held over the thumb nail. 
The edges of all the pieces are left white. No outline is 
used, and the design is applied by means of tracing paper 
and graphite impression paper. 
Anyone possessed of a little ability in drawing can easily 
paint in the little florets freehand. The set can be done with 
little labor. It simply requires exactness in handling.
