                I hear and understand.

                I get this alot, I work in theatre, which is art. I’ve found that people just don’t get it that being an actor or technician is a JOB. We fall into the Blue-collar variety, I think. People tend to view the arts as a hobby (hey my parents are still wondering when I’ll get a REAL job) and why shoud they pay for it? No one seems to get that actors in general are not making huge sums of money, and are spending DAYS, WEEKS (standard rehearsal is 8hrs long, 6 days a week) working to put on a show. People think it’s easy standing up there an pretending to be someone else. Most actos I know, even the working professionals have to have a ‘day job’ to help them get by. I’m a Stage Manager and no theatre can pay us what we’re actually worth for the sheer number of hours that we put into a production. It sounds like I’m over pricing myself but if I looked at a base wage of $10/hr and the hours I work, I should be a milionaire. Instead I’m looking at having to add a ‘day job’ this summer just to put a little money in the bank hopefully to save up for a house down payment. Sorry, I kinda weht on a rant there. I do agree that the general public has no clue how much it actually costs to create any “ART”. I know that most people who actulayy work in the arts that I know, have no problem paying for it cause we know, how much work went into what is being produced. Hence the reason I collect Windstones not cheap plaster Made in China pieces. For any artist, I really have very little problem paying what you ask for a piece (I’ll argue if I know the piece is over priced) In fact I prefer buying directly from the artist cause then I know the money goes to YOU.

                Sorry again, this is kinda disjointed, but it’s also a bit of a sore spot since I work in the arts.
                Let’s just say I COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND!!

                    Hahaha!

                    That’s how I made my first period costume in Costume Class!!! We use that technique alot in theatre. (but I use brown kraft paper, less messy) Somehow true period clothing patterns or ‘unique’ patterns just don’t seem to exist 😕

                        Good Luck, She’s adorable. As a parent of a rescue dog they may start out a bit shy or jumpy but they turn into the most loving pets when they’re given just a bit of love. Again, Goodluck, it sounds like she’s going to a truly wonderful home
