Cut a circular hole for the ball and cover it with brown tissue paper. Dress [Fig. 175] in the same manner as the doll just described, but in other colors. For instance, make her hair brown, her dress light purple, her shoes yellow, and her face, arms and stockings white. If you want features on the faces, use a very soft lead-pencil and draw eyes, nose and mouth, though features are not really necessary, and, as a matter of fact, the dolls look very well without.

Let Jumping Jack ([Fig. 176]) be all in blue, except his face—make that white. Joints on all the toys, as seen in the illustrations, are indicated by pasting thread lines of black paper and pin-head dots of black paper over the places where joints should be, according to the outlines and dots at the elbows of the girl dolls and the shoulders and hips of dancing Jack.
The Bouquet
([Fig. 177]) consists of a red tulip ([Fig. 178]); a deep-yellow ox-eye daisy with a brown centre pasted over the yellow—in this case it can be done ([Fig. 179])—a bluebell ([Fig. 180]); and a white daisy with yellow centre ([Fig. 181]). You will find that this piece, with all its bright colors, will be one of the prettiest of your designs. [Fig. 182] is a branch of green leaves.

Cover each blossom with its respective color, and then paste one piece of green tissue paper over all the leaves and stems and the effect will be very natural.
