It needed to be soaked more and moved around less. Each of the fragments was very crumbly, so they just didn’t absorb enough slip. I did try painting more on, but it obviously wasn’t enough. I had visions of a giant flower that I fired in pieces and put together like a puzzle, but now I just have doily fired in pieces. Maybe next time.
