Plaster Pinch>Hits
BY Jean Waggaman.

Unmindful of it's possibilities, a
lot of us overlook the fact that
plaster can be nodded into a wealth
of highly decorative objects-ob-
jects whose designs are borrowed
for the most part from classic or
baroque periods, though there have
been examples that have been in
spired by pure fantasia. Best OF
all. plaster is versatile and can be
treated to resemble multitude Of
materials. Materials that would,
were they always obtainable, make
a piece cost you SIS more.
Time was when you could order
unlimited quantities of especially
designed architectural features for
your home Though this is no longer
true, you can nevertheless find ar
fists that will furnish you with es-
pecially designed pieces in a linn
tied quantity Only recently we
visited an interior decorator who
had done just this. Faced with a
boxlike room whose a chitectural
features were nil, she used plaster
baroques in lieu of cornice and
dressed up both her cabinet and
entrance doors with modern adapta-
tiofls of Louis XIV cartouches. Pry-
ing into the matter further, we
discovered that a part of her would
be- cornice was made of plaster
baroques that were originally in a
leading window display. The car
touches and the beguiling cupids
which were interspersed among
the baroques she herself designed
to order.
If thrift is your motto, you might
steal more than one decorating
thought from those veterans of ef-
feet, store displays. We've seen
several plaster pieces, originally in
tended to grace a store window,
that could serve you well in your
home The piece we liked most of
all was comprised of a heavy
baroque scroll base, cleverly in
dented to hold a round glass shelf
on either side. Nice for curios, you
could buy pair, discard the round
piece of glass in the center OF each,
and instead join the two with mar
row rectangular shelf.
inexpensive plaster urns would be
pretty filled with ivy. Then, too,
there are the classic Greek capitals.
These could be attached securely to
a column you may already have in
your possession, or, if you like, you
could invest in a heavy cardboard
replica of the same, cover it with
marbelized wallpaper. Presto! You
have real show piece-an ideal
