RERAMIC STUDIO 
PUSSY WILLOWS 
Maud E. Hulbert. 
t^OR the Pussy- Willows use Copenhagen Grey, Warm 
* Grey, and Brown Green. They often show a little 
green through the grey and for that use Apple Green. 
The little bud from which the blossom has come is hard and 
of a dark reddish color, Violet of Iron, and the stems them- 
selves are sometimes red and sometimes green, with a 
bluish bloom like that in the plums; use Brown Green, 
Moss Green, Finishing Brown, Copenhagen Grey and 
Violet of Iron. 
Stems. Paint the nearer stems with Moss Green and 
Yellow Green and some of the larger ones in the background 
with Brown Green rather thin. Flush with Yellow Green 
and Apple Green. For the second firing tint with either 
Apple Green and a little Yellow Ochre or Yellow Green, 
picking out some of the more prominent ones and then 
touching them up.

PLATE BORDERS IN BLUE AND WHITE 
Ophelia Foley. 
IN actual practice, I have never used the blue and 
white but the blue and grey. 
First treatment. Paint in the outlines, bands and 
dark parts with one part Banding Blue, two parts Copen- 
hagen Blue. Do not make the blue too dark. 
Second treatment. Paint in the outlines and all 
darkest portions with one part Banding Blue, two parts 
Copenhagen Blue, dusting with the same. Second fire, 
tint with Deep Blue Green, very thin, padding off nearly 
all the oil from the lightest parts; dust with Pearl Grey. 
A third fire may be necessary to strengthen the blue. 
Two parts Grey for Flesh, one part New Green for the 
darks and an "envelope" of Grey Green are satisfactory; 
also two tones of grey (Grey for Flesh and Pearl Grey) 
with a touch of pink (Yellow Red) on the flowers.
