deeper tones Vandyke Brown. Adding a little Carmine, 
Light Red or Burnt Sienna to these different shades of green 
will keep them from being crude. 
For leaves in shadow use New Blue, Venetian or Light 
Red with Yellow Ochre, or Burnt Sienna, as it seems to need, 
often bringing background over them thin to keep them back. 
The stems are of a warm brown, use Yellow Ochre, Sepia 
and New Blue, in some of the light parts giving them a warmer 
tone with a little Bright Red, and in darks, Vandyke Brown 
and a little Burnt Sienna. 
Background, use same colors, repeating the tones in your 
flowers, leaves and stems. 
CHINESE DESIGN OF BUTTERFLY AND ROSE— NELLIE Y. HAMILTON 
OUTLINE the entire design with gold, and fill in with green 
enamel, using two-thirds Aufsetzweis, one-third Han- 
cock's English Enamel and one eighth Flux, which is colored 
with Apple Green, Mixing Yellow and Black. The lines over 
the enamel are of Black with a little Dark Blue, and can be 
put on with a fine brush when the enamel is dry, thus finishing 
the work for one fire. If desired to imitate the color of some 
of the Chinese ware, the entire plate may be tinted very 
lightly with Copenhagen Grey and a little Emerald Stone 
Green and Flux, but I prefer the white background as more 
dainty. The design makes a very pretty soup plate or deep 
oyster plate.
