To Make Book Plates

One way TO make effective book
plates Is to have stencil, through
which you can work up the slips In
water-colors. Stencils are cut from
oiled stencil paper or board, but If
you are going to make very many.
1t might be well to have a metal stem
ell cut, as the paper or cardboard will
soon wear out. Look through the maya
zines for some appropriate design or
group and trace it to your stencil pa
per. Cut it up into little portions, as
you would jigsaw puzzle, SO that all
the design Is in parts, all Joined by
small bridges" to each other. Cut
out the design, leaving the bridges
firm, with a sharp knife, holding the.
stencil over glass or marble as you cut.
When complete proceed to color
through the stencil onto thin cardboard:
or water-color paper. A dozen or so Of
these book plates at time will not be a,
strenuous task and the result will
easily repay labor
