Belts, Buckles and Crazy.

Belts, Buckles and Crazy.

I just designed these fabulous new belt buckles using vintage jewelry pieces.  I love them so much, I hope no one buys them, so I can hoard them all in my closet.  Of course, as soon as I put them out, I sold two.  I feel I should do a background check on the customer.  "How will you wear it?"  "Will you hang her up correctly when she is not being worn?"  "Can I have visitation rights?"  I am smart enough (sometimes) to know that if I want to have a successful store, I need to peddle my wares.  But here's the thing...as an artist, I either love what I create and I don't want to let it go, or I design something that I think sucks so much I would never want anyone to have it.  And the other psycho thing I'll do is undercharge for a design because I think no one will pay money for it and then someone comes in, doesn't blink at the price and takes it home.  I think to myself, "Why didn't I charge more?"  Really???  I truly think the older I get, the crazier I have become.  The good thing is that with peri-menopause in route, I can't remember. I guess the question of the day is...Is it ever possible to be at peace with our artistic decisions?  Ha,ha,ha,ha,ha,ha…Life as an artist.
