Yeah! We artists tend to appreciate each other more than people who haven't done anything like this before. I'm sure (if you sell your pieces) you run into the same thing as I do, "why does it cost so much?!" ...well I'd like to make more than 25 cents an hour thank you!
When I buy jewellery or other art from artisans I know I'm paying for their time and effort, and I'm willing to support them because I appreciate the unique aspect of getting something custom and handmade!
Thanks for the compliments... I'm glad you like my stuff!! <3
