I've still got a little bit of clay left. I'm using it to practice with. I haven't been taking any pictures of my practice pieces but I started thinking about this thread and I was wondering if you guys would like to see my practice pieces. I'm not making a lot of them. Just when I get bored I try something new and since I don't have the money for a firing at the moment I just squish it up and make something else. So would you guys want to see my practice pieces.

#17 is my favourite, you just need to make better holes and they will all be perfect!

 

[Torrean]

can you elaborate on the whole hole thing? What can I do to make them better? What's wrong with them? Thanks for the feedback neal

Very interesting thread , theres a few pieces there I liked the look of. I wish you luck!

 

[Torrean]

Thanks for resurrecting my thread. I'll finally be doing another firing in a week or so I should have some new pics to show off. I appreciate the feedback

I love the long, thin caves and the swirly ones that are cool shapes!

 

[shellyboylan]

[Torrean]

thanks very much. I've spent the past few weeks updating my site. It should load much much faster now. I've also added lots of new pieces as well as two new colors. thanks for the interest.

post #61 the second picture I love that one but I bet you have sold that one by now. hope your buisness is going well will look at your webite to find one I want thats if you ship to the UK?? I prefer the ones that are abit more open I know the idea is that is a hidy hole for the fishes but I like to be able to nosey on them dont want them to be able to hide in there all day so I cant see them.

I'd be more than happy to ship to the UK. However it is terribly expensive. If you do want one then I suggest that you get several people together who each want one to spread out shipping costs (and take advantage of bulk pricing)

If you like the look or style of a particular piece but it's either too small or too large for your tank...or has been sold already. Then i'd be more than happy to replicate the style. It will NOT be exactly the same. The piece your asking about is still in my stock. I haven't been pushing this as hard as I should have. I kinda got discouraged after I didn't sell very much. I'm still doing it though.

Holy Crap!! this is an awesomely progressive thread Torrean!! Just happened to stumble onto this thread out of curiosity and it's like watching progress happen with each post. Well done on all of the clay decor - I'm very familiar with working with clay and familiar with the 'restrictions' that you can come across with it. It's weird - anything that I thought could've been fixed on pieces - was! I'd like to have a clay piece in my aquarium - love to buy one off of ya - if I had any money. seeing decor that is hand made is very appreciative and creative! I think the lighter clay seems to go well in all of the pics, almost natural looking in a lot of them.


best of luck ya, man!!

I really like them... esp number 41. That's so awesome! How big is that piece? (Thinking about my 20 gal....)

 

[Torrean]

#41 is 5X5X8. check out my website if you want anymore measurements. Not all of the pieces have the measurements for them (I got lazy) but the earlier ones do. And I can estimate or measure any that I still have in stock. (which is most of them) =) Prices are negotiable.

I haven't posted any new pics in here in a while. I think I will.

wow! I really like #62 and 68 too!
