Hard to put a price on heart and soul. Each piece I sell comes with a suction cop, gift bag, tissue paper, business card, a swivel hook and bubble wrap bag. You walk away with a gift wrapped piece of unique art. My materials used are driftwood, twine, E6000 glue, fishing line, beads, prisms and glass. Vendor fees are between $25-$75. I try not to book anything over $75. Then there is the cost of your canopy, table, table covering, display stands, decorations, signage. Am I really making any money? Probably not! 🤣. It sure feels good when your art is appreciated even if they don’t buy it. 💜
Prices range from $15-80 for handcrafted stained glass pieces.
I am not China, I create every single product you see/touch/buy. There are not 5 little helpers being paid $4/hour to help me.
I spend 40+ hours per week just creating my art (not lying), then 14-30 hours on weekends (during that same week) selling my art at markets. I do this for 9 months a year, I work over 65 hours a week.
I have spent over $20,000 on machines. I spend $15,000+ per year on stained glass and over $5,000 on wood annually. I pay roughly $10,000+ annually to be at markets to show my work in hopes that humans will buy.
And I try my hardest to bring it to you with a smile on my face.
This is just a little reminder that my "expensive" art is priced the way it is for all of the work you don't see and honestly, it's under priced with the cost of wood, glass, and markets all increasing.
Your vendor friends (most of them) literally put their life into their small business.
If you want cheap, then go buy art from Walmart or Hobby Lobby, where they mark up and make 75-99% profit.
