Wow.. those are amazing! I don’t think they’re worth $25 though. I’m sure we could find some at a big craft show for cheaper. I seem to remember a place in Toledo, OH that sold similar pieces. If you’re willing to make the drive, that is.
I won’t get into what they are “worth”. SPark and a couple of other artists have already stated it better than I could in other threads.

Good idea! They’d look neat hanging from a rear view mirror 🙂
I think they are worth every penny. Glass working is not easy- the glass is expensive, the torches to heat it are expensive, the fuel to run the torch is expensive, and the dichroic glass that is used is tricky and kinda costly to get right too. Add in his or her time invested in making each one… not too bad a price at all. 😉

The other hidden costs to take into mind are the ebay and paypal fees. That will nock of a couple $$ from each sale as well.
Very true. I know that one all too well!
