CRAFT LESSONS.
LESSON II.

II you have followed the directions given you
In the first lesson Of craft series. you will
have your brass sheet tackled lightly at the four
corners on your board, with your bellows design
neatly drawn in outline ready for work The pat
tern itself must not be ont until the repousse
work is finished. the hammer often changes
the shape. For the same reason we do not want
to mark out the edge of the border line with a
tool which might leave an ugly line in case of
change On the other hand. the pencil marks are
easily rubbed off. So the best way is TO go over
the pencilled outlines with pen and ink. When
TINS is perfectly dry, shall begin our work
For design you will want something very broad
and simple. will draw for you. in the same way
