I'm back in the shop making some new stained glass items for my store. I decided to look around just to see what others are making in stained glass and pricing. There are alot of very nice pieces of glass work out there. One thing that I did notice is that the pricing is all over the place. I'm not an expert in this area by no means, but I have been making stained glass pieces for a long time. I do know how much it costs and how long it takes to make a good piece. It takes time to travel to get the glass, score and break it out, grind it, wrap, solder, clean and wax it. Then I have to box it up and go to the post office or shipper. All takes time and time is money. All I am trying to say is I wish people would think about the real time and material they have invested in their projects and price it at least close to what is invested. I know it is really hard to put a good price on your handmade items but least get close. Well that's enough on that. Just had to get it off my chest.
The holiday season is just around the corner. Hope everyone is ready. I'm going to try and get some more pieces completed and in my store before it is to late. I am always behind anyway. Just have fun in what you are making and it will be worth it. If anyone has any holiday suggestions that I can make, please contact me.
