TREATMENT FOR VASE— GRACE STEPHENS 
THE blossoms of the Pelargonium or Lady Washington 
geranium are usually pink with the two upper petals 
blotched with Ruby, so it would seem well to follow the 
natural coloring in this conventional form. Make a careful 
drawing of the design, filling in the outlines of the flowers and 
buds with Pink Enamel, painting on Ruby on the dark mark- 
ings after firing and shading with a deeper pink toward the 
centers. Leaves and stems are of Bronze Gold, made by 
mixing two parts Matt Gold with one part Gouache Dark 
Bronze Green. Border at base of same, petal forms in Pink 
Enamel. ' Dark part around large leaf forms at base, make of 
the Dark Green two parts with one part Gold, make the light 
tint between the large leaves and flowers of Green Gold. 
Tint the ground of the vase with Ivory, and outline the whole 
design with fine lines of Gold, using the same for the mark 
and stamen in the center of each flower.
