Getting a custom designed Yorkie statue for under $100.00 seems very reasonable to me. Her talent speaks for itself in her work. I am not a rich person, but I am more than willing to scrimp, save, and treat myself to extraordinary works of art.

As an artist myself, it's really difficult to put a price on your art. Not just on your time, but how do you price creativity and talent? I'm not disagreeing with you at all, just trying to explain from an artisan's point of view. For example, a piece of work that takes let's say a week to make, if you break that down hourly, how much is the artisan making? Much less than minimum wage I would say. Oh I'm so psyching myself up for one now.

oh I want one very much!!! I did not mean to put down the work when I said it wasn't in my budget. Sorry to say there are other expenses that come first. But I am sure putting them on my wish list (are you listening dd??? dh????)

I agree with the statement it is hard to put a price on an artist's work. I do quilting and some sewing. I have thought of selling quilts but the price offered would be almost an insult to the amount of time and my skill. I make them as gifts for family and friends.

The dogs are beautiful... and I do hope to have one of my baby, Remy and maybe even my sweet bailey and sammy one day
