Leisure Crafts Cock-a-doodle-doo down Mexico way October 2, 1977, Lincoln, Sunday Journal and Star Beg your pardon Helen Fausch supports 2 sons 7D By Phyllis Fiarotta If you search for unusual crafts in Indian markets of small Mexican villages, you are certain to find scores of charming toys made of tin, clay, or wood off to one corner of a table. Children are very special in this gentle country and toys always been a part of their folk art heritage. This simple toy, although rather small, is amazing to see in action. Try it, love it! The pattern for the rooster is placed on a boxed network that is called a grid. This grid is one square equals Vz inch.

2. Enlarge the grid as well as the patterns on paper to establish your patterns. These simple patterns can be drawn freehand. The length of the body should be about 4 inches long. 3.

Cut two body shapes from lightweight cardboard. Cut one head and one tail shape. 4. Paint the shapes and add eye and wing details. 5.

Twist two small holes in the tail, neck, and body shapes as shown by the circles in the patterns. 6. Cut a narrow 4-inch bar from corrugated cardboard. 7. Glue the bar between the two body shapes.

It should be centered and flushed with the top edge of the body shapes. 8. Attach the tail and the neck between the body shapes with small lengths of thin wire. The wire passes through the holes of the body shapes as well as through the center hole of the tail and neck. Twist the extending ends of the wires outside the body shapes to hold the neck and tail in place.

They should move freely inside the body. 9. Cut a bar for the base that is 6 inches long and inch wide. 10. Cut out a center square to accommodate the bar between the sides of the rooster.

Then cut two slits on each side of the square, see the diagram. Use a single-edged razor blade. 11. Cut a second bar 1-inch wide and 4 inches long for a handle. 12.

Cut a small square into one end the same size as the center opening of the first bar. 13. Carefully push the center bar of the rooster first through the center opening of the base and then through the opening on the handle. Do not push too hard if the fit is tight, you might bend the narrow bar of the rooster. It is better to enlarge the holes.

Add a dab of glue. 14. Tie a thin length of cord through the corner hole of the neck and another length through the tail. 15. Bring both lengths through the slits on the base.

Tie the two ends lo a bead and knot in place. 16. Glue an acorn cap with a kernel of popping corn in it on the base under the head. 17. To work the toy, hold the handle and swing the ball in a circular motion.

FRESHEN UP YOUR HOME CUSTOM DRAPERIES dik! inliTkif diHHfrti' SUTteK. PtACe Layers in outfits combine for fashion By Helen Haggle If designer John Anthony can put together an outfit comprised of satin shirt, mohair knit pullover under an unlined shirt jacket and a wool dirndl skirt And if Shannon Rodgers and Ted Saulino for Jerry Silvermann can combine a jersey dress under Ultrasuede Certainly, it is possible for every woman to look to her wardrobe for combination of textures to bring her wardrobe up lo date.

Fashion commentary Diana Vreeland often has said style and fashion depend on the way a woman puts together her outfit. Ms. Vreeland is an authority on fashion. She has been editor of Harpers and Vogue, both prestigious fashion magazines, and now is consultant to the Costume Institute of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. This is the year when fashions are combining not only colors and varied prints, but many textures.

Many women have not been doing just this for several years. It was over a decade ago that fashionable women rebelled against dictates of designers. And since then, they have felt free to explore their own manner of dress. This perhaps is the reason the layered look has come into fashion so readily that designers have taken it to their hearts, Perhaps this is the reason designers are putting together so many different looks in their collections each season. The woman who has classic clothes in her wardrobe is lucky.

Classics have a refined, uncluttered look that allow them to go on from season lo season. Updating is easy. The velvet, tweed or corduroy blazer is an example. Add a silky soft blouse with large tie or ruffle at the neckline. Wear it over the softest of skirts challis, lambswool or silks or narrow pants for day, wide for evening, be afraid to wear a tweed blazer with a long crepe skirt and cotton blouse for most evening occasions.

Or for another situation, a velvet top jacket or vest over a silk blouse and tweed skirt is appropriate. The biggest asset to the woman who wants to look fashionable is flair Once that attribute is acquired, the rest IS easv. Birthday Mrs, Josie A. Hinds.
