1st attempt at making decorations

Hello everyone,
I decided to whip this little structure up today from the pieces of slate I have in the landscaping around my house (and silicone, of course). It's kind of small (3.5" tall) but I think corys might like it.
Comments and suggestions please. I'm sure I'll be making more.
Photos of similar projects would be awesome. Thanks all.

Oo! Very elegant! Nice pieces too, mine are all flat and machined, those look much more natural.
My corys would be all over that. They gave up bottom-feeding-only when I stopped overfeeding

Hey everybody,
I put my slate decor in my Q tank and got three corydoras paleatus and one unidentified cat (posted in "What's my catfish" under "free cat thaat's 1/3 tail").
THEY LOVE IT!
I'm surprised how much time they spend on top searching the nooks and crannies. They go all over, around and through it. I hope it's not because it's the only thing in there.
Again, those silicone blobs only show up with flash photography.
