ficil distinguir 10 autentico, y solo los

con la pintura a pluma.
Lo mas diffcil de este consiste en- la
election del dibujo que debe pasarse
la tela donde ha de bordarse, persi-
guiendo antes Embellishments los con-

Una vez hecho este, Sc toma la pin
tura, que Sc vende va preparada, y con
la pluma de puntos abiertos Sc va apli-

Hay que servirse de la pluma como
de un pincel, ir poniendo los colores
cuyo efecto dependera del gusto y ha-
bilidad de la que lc execute.
Otro medic de hacer estos cuadros es
ell bordado en- sedas al matiz.
Con las modernas maquinas de bor-

DO tienen de cerca la delicadeza, la per-
feccion y ell colorido de los que Sc eje-
cutan q mano, con ese diminuto pincel
que Sc llama aguja.
