A necklace made with sealing wax slabs and beads. Also two hat pinheads By Monica Bastin
Text Appearing After Image:
N all the finer branches of artistic handi- work, originality, precision and a certain deftness of fingers are indispensable to striking success. With these and with the necessary foundation of talent, it is pos- sible to turn the artistic sense (even moderately possessed) to very good ac- count, and secure a result that will be of good taste. Among the novel, and possibly the least exercised of such crafts, may be classed that of mosaic making with sealing wax. Although the idea is not quite unknown, yet it is not often carried out to its fullest extent. Not only mosaic jewelry may be taken as a pattern, but many kinds of metal work can be effectively copied. Added to this there are plenty of original schemes to be devised with the many shaded wax alone. The first articles attempted by the novice may be the colored beads of various shapes and sizes so often threaded into bracelets and necklaces. The foundation of these beads is made with cork, one-eighth of an inch thick. The cut- ting of the cork is not very easy to an inexperienced hand. The best thing to use is an old, very sharp table knife, in- serted with a sort of sweeping movement that will give a clean unjagged edge. The knife will probably require sharp- ening after every few cuts. The finishing touches should be made with the small blade of a sharp penknife. The sections should be cut rather smaller than is intended for the size of the finished beads. Having thus prepared a center on which to work, take an old hatpin, and stick the cork firmly on the end of it. Select a piece of sealing-wax of the principal color required for the bead, melt it over a clear flame, and cover one side of the cork at a time, allowing this to harden before the other is treated. Now remove the bead from the pin and see that both ends are properly covered. Each bead must be solid and well shaped. Any little irregular- ities can be smoothed over by slightly re- heating the wax in the flame. The bead can be decorated with spangled or metal wax ac- cording to in- dividual taste; any device be- Little pin or trinket boxes i n g carefully
