PANSY
Insert a No. 104 tube in a medium sized cone. Using the brush method, dip a brush into the purple pastecolor. Make a 1/4inch strip on the heavy side ofthe tube, and then, using the same method, dip thebrush into the yellow paste coloring and put a 1/4inch strip up the narrow side of the tube. With apiece of waxed paper, on your No. 7 nail start yourfirst petal. The petal is started from the center of thenail. As you squeeze and move out, a slight back and forth motion is maintained to give the petal a
ruffled edge. Three large petals are placed in thismanner as shown in step 3. For the next row ofpetals, start in between any two petals of the firstrow. Start your petal from the middle and as youmove out continue the back and forth motion, turn the nail, relax pressure and come back. One morelarge petal at the top is completed in the same man-ner, and then, if you wish, you may paint a little facein the center. The pansy can be made in many varia-tions of brilliant colors.
