Additional designs for metal foil pictures are on the following pages. They are arranged in order of difficulty. If the pupil is unable to create his own designs they can be purchased in hobby shops and artists' supply stores. However, with the use of tracing paper, it is more fun to search in magazines, books, newspapers, and on greeting cards and copy appropriate pictures. With a little practice the student will recognize which pictures will make the best designs for this medium. In adapting them he should use important lines only and leave large masses to be raised.

Figure 7. Camel Design.

For example, the design of the clown was traced from a colored Christmas card. The clown was holding a small fir tree in his hands. In adapting the design for metal foil repoussage, the tree was omitted.

The design of the seated man with the large Mexican type hat was traced from a newspaper advertisement about a holiday in Mexico. The picture of the parakeet was traced from a child's coloring book of birds.

The camel was first photographed from a package of cigarettes. It was then enlarged to its present size. Tracing paper was used to draw the camel for which the photograph was a guide. A tracing can be made from any photograph suitable for metal foil pictures.

The two designs of the ships were traced from reproductions of oil paintings which were printed on the daily menus of a steamship line. The first picture is of His Majesty's Ship Victory, 1805, the flagship of Admiral Nelson. The three ships on the next picture are the Nina, the Santa Maria, and the Pinta, 1492, the caravels of Columbus.

The designs are included to show the pupil the possibilities that exist in sources of pictures. Those that are traced and adapted by the student who cannot create his own designs are more expressive of the student himself than any that he would purchase in a hobby shop or artists' supply store.
