Ok I'm going to decorate the toad home with something called slip trailing. What slip is is very watery clay. This is actually, I collect what falls off in the bucket of my wheel and I just pour it into a bucket to save for later to use. So that's all this is is the dregs of my throwing, and in order to prepare the slip you want to get some of the thicker stuff, you can use one of these little drink mixers, you can use a blender, you can even mix it by hand if you have the patience, but you just want to get a little bit of that and then get it nice and evenly mixed. And as you can see it's just a thin, a very thin version of clay, but it still has a little bit of body to it and then I'm going to take that, I've already done it, and put it in a mustard bottle and then I can do what is called slip trailing with it.
