So I've prepared my slip, I've got it in my mustard bottle, shake it up pretty good. If it's been sitting for a little while you want to make sure you don't have the water rising to the top. You always want to give a little test squirt and make sure it's a good thickness before you start using it on your part, and that looks pretty good. So now I'm going to take this bottle and I'm going to gently squeeze and go along the outlines that I made. It's a pretty simple way to get a nice decoration onto your pot. You do need to let it dry a little bit more slowly because this slip is very wet and the clay underneath is not. We haven't scored so it needs to dry slowly so that the slip part doesn't pop off as it dries. So make sure to put this under cover or in a damp closet as it's drying. We'll just put in a few more details here. And when you glaze it you can accent your butterfly or whatever decoration that you've used, with the glaze so that it's a little bit more obvious what it is.
