You are clearly making a new sleek black line design for your curtain rail ends.

So if its related to aquatics..would the aquarium be known as a Fish House with curtain poles included in the interior design
Naaa
He's halving it in two because he lost the other one to go on the other end.
Very clever

Keep guessing ...

I've never done this sort of thing before so I had to make these:

They have a specific name - but telling you would give the game away ...

 

[OllieNZ]

looks like your making a mould to copy the item?

 

[Nathaniel Whiteside]

Hm I have no Idea now :/
Any chance of a clue?

 

[G H Nelson]

Here you go, 50 pence piece shows scale. Exact size is 70 x 35 with a 16mm opening.

Terracotta shrimp pot! I saw something similar on another site but didn't like the shape. Never tried slip casting before so I thought I'd give it a try. Need to get it fired before it can be used. I don't have a Kiln but I know where there is one I can borrow ...

 

[Danny]

lol, quality little item mate, fancy making some more

 

[Aqua sobriquet]

I can't get it fired for at least 3 or 4 weeks but if they can be fired ok I may make a limited number for folks.

 

[Danny]

If you do do a small production could you put me on the list please

 

[Aqua sobriquet]

Will do.

Do some more and sell them
