All white pots are the same clay.  Difference in color is due to my "expert photography skills!"   The terra cotta pots are all different colors due to the inconsistancies coming from the clay producers and their supply source.  Since all the pots look the same size in these photos, keep in mind that a dollar bill is 6" long, so look at the measurements of the piece (located at the bottom of the picture) and that will give you a good reference for the size.  Some of you have asked how dog hair would do so I did one, it does work, just not as strong a dark line as the coarse horse tail hairs.  Cat hair also works, Leona the cat is shown on page two.

HOW TO ORDER A POT

1.  Pick a pot from my three pages.  Make sure it does not say SOLD or ON HOLD.  Check the neck of the pot if you want some hair added around the pot after the horsehair firing.  Some of my older pots do not have an indented lip enough to hold the hair in place.  I try and pick glass beads that fit the name of the horse or a color you want (if it's in my box of beads).

2.  Send the hair to my address.   Include the name of your horse, or other animal and any dates you want engraved on the bottom of the pot.

3.  I try and do the pot within two days of receiving your hair.  I email you a photo of the finished piece and the shipping costs.  I ship by United States Postal Service, parcel post.  I get a tracking no. and insurance.  The cost averages from $13 to $16 for a12" x 12" box.   Most fall in the $14.50 range.  You pay me when you receive the pot intact and you like it.  After all this time, I've only had one person not pay.

4.  I will soon be adding new pots to choose from.  They will have a different color border around the picture.  You will see that they are $5 more than others on the page.  Unfortunately because my city is like yours, having a tough time making ends meet, they have increased the tax I pay, the water I use and the utility has increased the electricity and the clay supplier has increased the clay prices.  I don't like it anymore than you do.   Well, I added 18 new pots and the only ones I increaded the price on was the covered jars.  I can do two or three of the other in the same time it takes me to do a lidded jar! (must say something about my skills as a potter or lack thereof)  Figured I'm never going to make my time for them, you all are just keeping this grey haired lady off the streets and out of her husband's way.  That must be worth someting.
