Fig.17 - Parts of upright Clover design.
Look at [Fig. 16] carefully and see that while the sprays of clover at the right and left appear to be exactly alike, though turned in opposite directions, they are not really so, and the little differences help to make the design interesting. They keep it from being what we call monotonous. Now look at D, E, and F, [Fig. 17]. These are tracings of the sprays of clover before they were grouped together to form the design [Fig. 16]. The spray on the left, marked D, is just as it grew and as it was used in the finished design; but F, on the right, had to have the little budded spray added at the place on the stem shown by the arrows to make it resemble and balance the other. This bud with its leaves was clipped from another clover-vine.
Fig.18 - Running design of Clover.
The spray in the centre of the design was like E, [Fig. 17], and it was necessary to give it the extra leaves shown at its right because, without them, it was not symmetrical, which means evenly balanced, and it would not have looked well in the design.
