Hey Bob  
  
  
Do you consider your work professional or hobby? Sculpture or figurine?  Does  
the value of art have more to do with the material or process or concept or  
all of these plus many more things? Is this a commission or? Are you doing  
something that is so unique that it has intrinsic value beyond material or  
process. Then there's some of the other stuff like is your work in galleries  
  
museums, collections, etc. Do people who collect art know the name? And so many  
other things. Is ,000.00 to much or is ,000.00 not enough?  
  
If everything you produce is purchased by someone or some corporation,  would  
you be asking this question?  
  
Do you make a living from your (art)? If you do, is it the money  or the  
passion that drives you?  
  
For me, when I do a plaster, it's for some part of the process to get the  
plaster to metal. So for me the plaster doesn't have much value for me but I've  
had people buy the plaster casts because they want parts of the whole  
process.  
  
Thanks for giving me a moment to ramble.  
  
Good luck with your economics and I look forward to the other  responses.  
  
Regards
