One of my favorite things as a potter is to play with clay and other materials, and see what happens.  Sometimes it’s a great success; other times it’s a magnificent fail.

I’ve played with decals before but this is the first time I’ve used really old decals … so old that some of them didn’t want to come loose from the backing sheet.

In general, I’m fairly pleased with the trays with decals.  A few lessons to keep in mind for the next experiment:

• Don’t put the decal over a hole.
• Press all the bubbles out of the decal.
