If your going to SOFA NY expect to be missing at least one another piece :)<br /><br />If you think your pieces are a bit low why not make 1 or 2 pieces that have the same look/style but are much higher end in terms of materials/time etc. People will look at the higher end pieces, really like them, but most won't have the $$$ but may buy the lower end because they feel they at least have a part of the art in some way. The $$$ piece pulls them in and the lower end pieces butter your bead. Margaux does this very well.<br /><br />"In my opinion, jewelry functions, for the most part, when someone wears it."

Especially with jewelry, I feel there is very little of innovative, quality jewelry from well-known artists that the average person could afford. But you make a good point about covering costs and the assumed value of work. Actually, I just bought a sculpture for $80 recently, which I knew was about half of what it should have cost, but if it had been $160, I simply would have lusted after it and said "I can't afford it right now". I could squeeze $80 out of my budget, though. Since I know the artist, I'll be gifting her some earrings to sort of make up the difference, as a surprise.<br /><br />You have the potential to go really high end with your work, and I think it would be interesting to see what you would come up with were you to do that. <br /><br />I'm so glad you got to go to SOFA, and I've loved seeing it through your 'lens'.Catherine Chandlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01808237399905719004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5480289266541865242.post-4685281155333892042009-11-19T19:41:27.330-08:002009-11-19T19:41:27.330-08:00I dig the multitudes of brooches composing your ha...I dig the multitudes of brooches composing your hand…Margaux Langehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09203099417334220506noreply@blogger.com
