KERAMIC STUDIO 
TILE, ORCHIDS— LAURA B. OVERLY 
OUTLINE flowers with Violet, leaves with Dark Green. 
Background, Black enamel. Orchids, Blue Violet enamel, 
adding 1-10 Rose enamel making Pink Violet. For dark 
markings in flowers add a very little Crimson Rose enamel 
with Pink Violet. For yellow markings, rich yellow enamel 
made by mixing Albert Yellow with white enamel. For light 
violet petals add White Pink with enamel. For light yellow 
petals use a soft yellow enamel made by mixing a tiny bit 
of Albert Yellow in White enamel. Vein violet petals with 
darker violet, light yellow petals with pale green enamels. 
For leaves use Gray Green Enamel No. 3 adding white enamel 
for lighter green. Outline flower and leaves with Pale Yellow 
enamel, same as yellow petals of flowers. I would suggest 
making test of all enamels, to get desired color, before using.
