Ah this place used to be so great
If you're busy all the time with orders backing up and still behind on your bills and child support and all that, it likely indicates that there's a problem with your pricing breakdown.

I'm starting to believe that!!! No joke, along with his oil vape cartridges. It all starts to make sense.Quote:

Just consolidated my debt to only $250 a month today. So that should help.
I was paying $550 month credit card payment.
My disability is covering it now.

It'd be a lot less if you paid taxes and child supportQuote:

My ex wife estimated my job to make between $300-$500 week 20 years ago. So I’m fortunate things are good now. But I am paying as much as I can afford.

Look, man, I don't have 20+ years of experience like you. I literally just hit the three year mark from signing the lease to start building my first studio, and prior to that had maybe 100hrs on the torch, so I just wanna be clear that I don't know what I'm talking about at all.Quote:

Below is some of the prodo work I'm currently making. I'm not competing with gas station imports. I'm pretty happy with what I'm getting for my work at (what I hope to be) an early point in my glass career, although there's always room for improvement. That said, I'm not a seasoned veteran who's behind on orders/bills/materials owed to other glassblowers, so I really can't hold a candle to your experience and insight. This is just what's working for me at this moment in time :)

Too bad no one is listening just accusing me of bullshit.
You don’t use color at all?!

I basically took every penny I could from my parents and made money off it blowing glass. When my siblings went to Europe and more expensive college.
Go figure?
I capitalized on my wealth and used it to start a business which production sells.

I’m having a visitor for lunch. She will be here soon. Then I’m back to glassblowing.

I don't use color in my prodo lines, it's not worth the time/cost to me. I'll do lip/foot wraps if a shop asks on the front end and is willing to pay, but for a no-name "artist" like me, it's a hell of a lot easier for me to sell all-clear pieces at my price points than the markup I'd need to add for the time/material cost of color.
Here's some recent molecularly-inspired color work (and a second attempt at a retti-tumbler from a messed up vac-stack from ages ago...good practice tubing, but way too many bubbles), but it's not prodo:

Personally, I couldn't care less whether a design is a 30 minute build or 2-hr build. At the end of the day, the pieces pay about the same when they're worked through an hourly labor breakdown of costs. When you're paid similarly for four 30 minute pieces as you are for a 2-hr piece, it means you can offer shops a selection of pieces at a variety of price points, which has advantages, imo.
