    Default Making cones and caves now...

    If you want to order something I make, now is the time to tell me. For those who don't know, I always make the items, and when successfully made I then bill via paypal. Never before. Pottery making is an inexact art and one never knows for sure how pieces will do in the kiln during firing. Just reply here, send me a pm or email. Thanks!
    .
    As a bonus, I will include, free, a small bag of Red Cherry Shrimp.

    Barb, what size(s) are your planting dishes? I have some microswords that need replanting.

    Pat, I don't have, and can't get, gray clay. But I could mix my black clay and white clay real well to make a beautiful swirled clay that would be a great cave. What style would you need?

    Hi Chris, I can make any size up to 12" diameter. They can be in any of my clay colors which are white, terra cotta, tan, black or two colors swirled together. The largest would be $20 and smallest $8.

    Hi Barb, an enclosed cave with one opening would be perfect with the beautiful swirled black clay and white clay. Could you please remind me of the sizes? I am thinking two caves. Thanks.

    What kind of fish do you want to use it? I make caves from 3" up to whatever you need/want. Do you like my round huts with the roof or a long tube type, both with one opening.

    The round huts with the roof Barb. One four inch and one six inch should do nicely if that works for you.

    Sounds good Pat, will get them made and let you know when they are ready to go. How about black roofs with black and white swirl house? Or all swirl?

    Hi Rufus, I have the plastic gutter guard, free with cones. But I now also have the plastic covered wire ones that Eric LaCroix of Carolina Discus makes. They are $10 each. I need to take a pic of one of my cones with a guard on it. Will try to do it tomorrow. Watch for a new thread with the info. Thanks for asking.
