I have really been struggling with this issue. Crafting for profit vs. creating for pleasure and artistic expression. I really want to create art, but that doesn't pay the property taxes...... Finding a product that can be produced efficiently and sold for a price which respects the value of your time is a frickin challenge, unless you are a jewelry maker. I love working with upcycled textiles and just have not hit on the right product and 'style' yet.
Thanks for being an ongoing inspiration though, love your posts.
