NEW IDEAS FOR HAND
COLORFD POSTAL CARDS
Pretty Leather Ones Made By Hand-Water
ColOrS Attractive

Post card enthusiasts are multiply
ing at so rapid rate that it is hard
for new ideas and designs to keep pace
with them. Like everything else, those
cards which betray handwork have a
certain popularity that nothing else
seems able to usurp.
The prettiest leather postals are
those made by hand, the design burned
or painted in and either colored or
with only the darker tones made by
the burning by way Of coloring.
Occasionally, a card is made with a
set design, done by "skinning," as the
process is called Fruit and flower, or
conventional designs are oftenest
chosen for it, the design marked on,
with a fine crayon, or with chalk sharp
ened to A point, and the top OF the
leather shaved away with sharp knives
Even If IL is ooZe leather, this skin
ming makes a decidedly effective de
sign, for the color under the fine little
nap of that sort OF leather is much
paler than the top.
Some very clever things have been
done upon leather with pen and ink
reproductions, in a small way, Of some
famous work clever cartoons upon So
ciety and drawings IN which the love
interest is paramount.
