          Application No. 08/989,342                                                  


               Claims 1, 6, 14, 18 and 29 are representative of the subject           
          matter on appeal and are reproduced below:                                  
               1.    A template for creating, with mud, a                             
               three-dimensional design, other than a design                          
               simulating brickwork or stonework, upon a surface,                     
               which comprises:                                                       
                    a substantially planar structure which has a                      
               thickness equal to a desired depth for one layer of the                
               desired three-dimensional design, such design being                    
               other than a design simulating brickwork or stonework,                 
               and adequate length and width to accommodate the length                
               and width of the desired design, which is substantially                
               impervious to the mud, and which has one or more                       
               apertures that are intended to be filled with mud to                   
               create the desired design on the surface.                              
               6.    The template for creating, with mud, a                           
               three-dimensional design upon a surface as recited in                  
               claim 21, wherein:                                                     
                    the template is scored to create a section that                   
               can be pushed from the template to create an                           
               accommodating aperture.                                                
               14.   The template for creating, with mud, a                           
               three-dimensional design upon a surface as recited in                  
               claim 1, wherein:                                                      




               1Claim 2 reads as follows:                                             
          2.  The template for creating, with mud, a three-dimensional design upon a  
          surface as recited in claim 1, further comprising:                          
               supports which are of sufficient length to extend from said            
          substantially planar structure, past any previously applied layer of the    
          design, to the surface upon which the original three-dimensional layer is   
          placed and which are so located on the substantially planar structure that  
          said supports will bypass any previously applied layer.                     
                                          2
