I agree 100%…my sister in law does seed beading American Indian stuff that’s so incredibly intricate and time consuming, yet after a thousand Pow-Wows to sell the stuff she gets 25% of what it should sell for in my opinion….It is absolutely breathtaking and shows true talent….I did not in any way wish to be negative, but I have bought tiny things like Netsuke and such and unless someone is a true collector the work and heart and soul poured into each of these probably won’t be evenly given back with a purchase….Undeniable talent, and a rare gift💙
It breaks my heart really, because it’s such a labor of love….The meaning of life is just about right there, in the capacity to feel joy….In a perfect world these people would be rich and still doing what they love…Thank you😇

I would pay $20 tops….Tbh that’s what I paid for a tiny tatted (crochet with thread) chameleon on Etsy and the thing is INTRICATE!!!
