Don’t it make my brown eyes blue? Little green apples. Don’t it make my brown eyes blue? I left my heart in San Francisco. All aloneam I. Alone again, naturally. Blue eyes crying in the rain. Can’t you hear the song? Sounds of silence. Silence is golden. Hear the whisper of the raindrops blowing soft against my window. Can’t you hear the song?

Red roses for a blue lady, your best white orchid for her wedding gown. Roses for mama; a roomful of roses. The snow is on the roses; days of wine and roses. Your pretty roses came too late. The first cut is the deepest. You don’t send me flowers anymore. I’ll pick you a daisy a day, dear. I never promised you a rose garden. Where have all the flowers gone? The answer is blowing in the winds — four strong winds. The above may not make any sense to you, but it’s a musical question answered with titles and lyrics from other songs. A few months ago I wrote a column on musical messages. I decided to try another one, not because of popular demand but because I had a long list of tunes left. As I studied them more closely, I noticed many town? Durham town? a dirty old town? I’ve been everywhere. Which way you goin’ Billie? Sam’s Place, The Y’all Come Back Saloon. Which way you goin’ Billie? Wolf Creek Pass, way up on the Great Divide, truckin’ on down the other side. Do you know the way to San Jose? Follow Me, I’m leaving’ on a jet plane. I’ll fly away. Where’s the playground, Susie? Down in the boondocks; in a mansion on the hill; in the swamp; down on the farm; out behind the barn; down by the riverside; sittin’ on tne dock of the bay. Does your chewing gum lose its flavour on the bed post overnight? Fool: Have you never been mellow? I’m praying for rain in California, so the grapes will grow and they can make more wine; stomp, stomp them grapes! lerneath. The snakes crawl at night and I don’t like spiders and snakes. Can’t you hear the song? Disco Duck, You and I travel to the beat of a different drum. Seventy-six trombones. The band played on.

This eighteenth century craft can transform an ordinary ob ject into a real treasure. Many surfaces can be used, for example wood, ceramic, metal and canvas, but plastics are not suggested. For a first project, choose a simple shape with flat surfaces. What about a recipe or jewel box, or a tray or picure frame? Sand it down to a smooth finish. Clean old wood with tur pentine, if needed. Sources for pictures are abundant. Crafts shops may have displays of decoupage pictures. New and old prints, calendars and greeting cards are suitable. If the paper is thick, wet the back with a sponge and gently pull away the layers of paper slowly with the help of cuticle scissors. If magazine pictures with print on the back are used, they must be sealed to prevent the print from showing through when the layers of shellac are applied. Because it is best to use flat paper without a glossy finish, photographs, postcards, embossed papers and those with colors that will bleed should be avoided, as should anything on cheap paper. Once the pictures are chosen, it is time to paint. More than one coat is needed on the surface and sanding should follow each one. The color chosen should enhance the designs which will be used. Now comes the fun of arranging the designs, before actually glueing them down. Using a small pair of embroidery scissors, slowly feed the paper into the blades, Parts of the pictures may be used, the backgrounds removed and the motifs rearranged. Different pictures can even be combined. You may wish to have the design trail over the edges of a box or trunk, or even over several drawers of a dresser? Use a sharp blade for shaping. The designs must now be glued in place. All corners and edges should be secure, then pressed. Remove the excess glue with a damp cloth. Antique and other finishes may be done before the next process. Up until about 50 years ago, much of the furniture had a shellac finish to it. This was used for decoupage, too. Once the glue is thoroughly dry, paint a thin layer over each design. When com pletely dry, or about 24 hours later, use fine sandpaper in circular motions to smooth the surface to a satin finish. Repeat the process three or four more times. The final coat of shellac must cover the entire surface of the object. When dry, it is not sanded. To speed up the decoupage, other sealers, such as varnish or supplies found in hobby shops, may be used. Each one gives a slightly different finish. About a week after the final coating, a light coat of paste wax may be applied to give further depth to the design. Wax once or twice more during the week. Some finishes, such as plastic, may not require this step. You now have a decoupage treasure which is sure to capture everyone’s at tention. One day it may become an heirloom for someone’special.
