31. The translucent clay should be tissue paper thin best
acheived in my book by carefully slicing conditioned clay that has been conditioned and rested a bit into as thin a slice as possible. TRY slicing a piece large enough for your project so you can avoid over lapping too much....does this make sense? To tell you the truth I've never measured the thickness because it's so thin I have no good way to do it! Hope this helps.

OH--my brain just clicked, "ON"! Besides covering your piece with a thin sheet of translucent also mix some in with the colors for more depth. Be careful not to over bake.
