Abstract: A method of creating a three-dimensional sculptured painting, involving the use of a sand and white glue mixture spread over the entire painting canvas, and scored, built-up and sculptured over desired areas of the painting to create not only a physically three-dimensional product, but also providing a significantly enhanced optical three-dimensional effect for the viewer after application of the final paint layers.

Abstract: A process for making stained glass Tiffany-type lamp shades which comprises providing a kit containing an inscribed fiberglass form, a pressure-sensitive wax adhesive for attaching shaped pieces of different sized stained glass to the form in correspondingly shaped and sized circumscribed areas on the surface of the form, and a print on which a particular design is imprinted corresponding to the circumscribed areas on the form, and which may be cut out into patterns to be used to cut stained glass of different colors into pieces to conform to the various shapes and sizes to be incorporated into the design. A transparency is also provided on which the entire design is reproduced to slightly expanded size as opaque lines on a transparent medium. The transparency is placed over a light box, and each cut stained glass piece is placed in its corresponding position on the transparency as a preview to aid in the color selection of the stained glass pieces.

Abstract: A method of making a mask which comprises molding a sculptable material, affixing the said molded material to a facial form to the desired contours of the mask, which contours are different than the contours of the form, applying wetted strips of plaster-impregnated gauze to the molded material, drying the wetted gauze to form a completed mask and removing the form from the mask. The finished mask may be coated with a coat of white glue and decorated.

Abstract: An image-transfer system in which from the original a first tracing is made on transparent sheet material and transferred from the transparent sheet material to a net-like or reticulate material by a second tracing, from which the image is then transferred to a final substrate such as an article of clothing by a third tracing through the net-like material interstices; finally the transferred image on the substrate is completed by retouching; color as well as line can be transferred using this system.

Abstract: Gummed labels having outlines corresponding to top and bottom views of integrated circuit packages include numbered lead locations as seen from both the top and bottom of a particular integrated circuit package. A simplified schematic diagram located on the portion of a label corresponding to the integrated circuit package body indicates connection of an integrated circuit to the respective leads. Part numbers and brief descriptions and commercial integrated circuits are printed on the labels. A plurality of unused labels are removably attached to a backing sheet, and are peeled off and placed on a working sheet to enable an engineer or technician to easily make diagrams or printed circuit board layouts without having to refer to a manufacturer's catalog.

Abstract: A process for preparing a work of art includes steps of melting crayon, transferring that molten crayon to a backing member to form a background and forming a design on that background. The design is formed using a hand-held heating element to melt portions of the background and/or to transfer further molten crayon to the background. A kit containing crayons and backing members is also disclosed.

Abstract: A method for decorating the border panel or any other area of a cardboard picture mat and the product of that method. Boundary lines of ink or other material are drawn to give a desired pattern and to define design areas. Then a finely divided pigmented powder is brushed into the areas which are desired to be colored. The paper surface holds only a limited amount of the powder, and excess powder is removed. The areas may be rubbed down to assure even distribution and to impart a desired brilliance or tone.

Abstract: A kit having a plurality of containers of finely divided dry powder of different hues, a dry cleaning erasure pad, at least one brush, a plurality of cotton swabs and a pencil eraser. The kit is for the purpose of carrying out the method for decorating the border panel or any other area of a cardboard picture mat. Boundary lines of ink or other material are drawn to give a desired pattern and to define design areas. Then a finely divided pigmented powder is brushed into the areas which are desired to be colored. The paper surface holds only a limited amount of the powder, and excess powder is removed. The areas may be rubbed down to assure even distribution and to impart a desired brilliance or tone.
