WILD ROSES 
Nellie Sheldon 
SKETCH in design very carefully. First consider the prom- 
inent cluster of roses and leaves in which will be found 
the strongest light and shade — all else being supplemen- 
tary. 
First Fire. Wash in lighter rose's with Rosa and a touch 
of Ruby in the shadows. The rose half in shadow, in Rosa 
and Ruby, with Ruby in shadow. For center, use Ivory Yel- 
low, Yellow Brown and Brown Green, with Finishing Brown 
for stamens. Model prominent leaves in Yellow, Royal, 
Brown and Shading Green with Brown Green, Shading Green 
and Gray for the leaves in shadow. Make the Gray of 
Copenhagen Blue softened with Ivory Yellow and Rosa. 
Second Fire. Wash in back ground, shading from 
Blue Green through Ivory Yellow, with just a touch of Tur- 
quoise Blue under lower rose of cluster, into a soft gray with 
Brown Green and Gray under rose at left of base. Shadow 
under two upper roses of cluster of Yellow Brown and Brown 
Green. Strengthen leaves in same colors as used in first fire. 
Shadows in lighter roses, of Gray, and darker one in Brown 
Green and Ruby. 
Third Fire. Strengthen back ground with same colors as 
used before. Give sharp touches to roses and leaves to accent 
the main part of design, dusting the less prominent part with 
the color of the back ground in which it rests.

The Sultan of Turkey possesses,among other works, a porce- 
lain manufactory, which is managed by a French expert, and 
turns out very sterling examples of the potter's art. 
DESIGN FOR STEIN— ALICE B. SHARRARD 
PAINT the flowers in natural colors ; pink, shaded into a 
delicate gray, adding a bit of Purple to tip of the blos- 
soms ; outline with pink. ■ Leaves green, stems, yellow green, 
outlined with brown green. Background for flowers should be 
tinted a deep cream. For the bands at top, use gold and 
green alternately, the conventional border pink and white, to 
correspond with the natural flowers, on a gold ground. The 
base of the stein has also bands of green and gold, inserting 
blocks of pink, in the topmost band. Treat the handle with 
a tint of green, banding either side with gold. For the green 
use Grass Green and Brown Green, both for tinting and fol- 
iage. This design would be pretty worked up in Lustres, 
using Ivory Lustre back ground. Pink for flowers, green for 
leaves and bands, outlined in black.
