Take a pieceof silver, size 8, and outline the shapes ofthe panels, and sketch on it the mainbranches and mark the position of the 123 Necklaces. Necklaces bosses of roses. Lay the metal face downon a thick piece of cork or cork-mattingand punch out these roses from the back,and then punch out the smaller group ofbuds, distributing them carefully so as toget a sparkling effect. Then, after heatingthe pitch, lay the metal down after oilingthe under surface. You will now outlinethe leaves and branches, keeping thearrangement as symmetrical and as simple as possible. Avoid curlyleaves, coiling branches,wormlike roots, andsquirming forms. Keepthe drawing of the leavesclear and accurate anddecided. When youhave done this, then out-line the roses and drawthe petals on the bosses,either open or partlyclosed. Then with a sharp tracer outlinethe spaces to be pierced, which will probablybe the whole of the ground, and thenwhen you have done all you can to therepousse, take the silver off the pitch, cleanit and pickle it. Then lay each panel onits face
