Thanks for posting that.

Suuny days+ Magnifier + steady hand = time. Eats in to profits, but admire how you are doing it.

Not really, the uniqueness of it adds value to all of my products IMO. If I am selling solar pyro I want to be selling ALL solar pyro.

I have drawn a small crowd, and a couple customers, by simply going to the park to work. Like carving, when people not only see the finished product but also the process they better understand the time and effort involved.

Since my prices are based on materials X3 plus time @ $15hr and estimating that I can burn and assemble 4/hr that leaves $5 for materials. If it takes 5 minutes each to cut and sand them to the same quality as purchased ones they would cost $1.25 each on my time chart. That would leave no money for beads or lacing.
