The Creative Element

There’s always a certain type that wants to know “how long did it take you to make that”, or some variation on the theme….because to most folks time equals money only.  But as an artist or a craftsman, those people aren’t necessarily your target.  I create pieces that are one of a kind, unique.  There is a creative element that isn’t tangible in an accountant’s ledger, an element that you can’t equate to seconds, minutes, hours, or days.   The discerning collector, the thoughtful consumer WANTS that element, is willing to pay for that element, and that’s who I’m going after.

…thoughts I had after a message I received requesting some advice.
