Dollar Dolls? No Way!

Response to How good is good enough?

 

I'm new at sculpting. I recently experienced a level of success with sculpting my first anatomically correct human head but it took quite a bit of effort and time. Then I went to The Dollar Store and became discouraged when I realized that anyone could plop down a dollar and get a resin figurine that would take me hours to make. No way could I ever be willing to sell my little "masterpieces" for such a miniscule amount. It got me to thinking...How can I ever expect to make money when art can be massed produced so cheaply now? Just how much effort should I put in a skill thats so devalued in this "Mega-Mart" society? Pleeese, anyone, share your advice. I need some encouragement to get back in the studio Paula
