    Default Not making cones anymore

    Hi everybody, sorry to have to admit it, but I am just not able to continue making cones, caves, etc. I guess I have what is known as "aged out". Too many issues that make it too hard now. Also the cost of postage is now so high, it would cost more than the cone just to send it. Don't think anyone wants to pay $30 for a cone. If we ever have a convention again, that I could drive to, I will have them then. Thanks to the hundreds of people who bought my cones and other offerings of clay!! I began selling them in 2010. I kept the list of everyone who bought!

    What a shame to hear, but you must think of your own well-being first.

    Aw Barb, I totally get it. I am in the process of giving away my largest tank (230). It's just too tall (32in) to get into for a less then 5 foot female. Hope to replace it with a 24 inch tall tank (125 or something). This getting old stuff is for the birds (or brave) lol.

    Even though you're no longer making cones anymore, we're still here for you and happy to have you around the forum when you have time to visit!

    I never got a chance to purchase any of your cones, but I always enjoyed looking at your posts and images when you had a new batch available for purchase.
