I’m sure it is properly trimmed.
How many hours did it take?
Please post any other creations. Thanks.
I've sold a few pieces along the way, but have given away far more stuff. The problem is that, if you want to do an authentic piece, materials are very expensive. A full fetal vellum is $200+, a book of 23K gold leaf is now going for $55 - $60 (for a long time it was sold in books of 40 for $40). On top of that, the investment in man hours is substantial: On the few pieces I've sold, it's probably worked out to me recouping about $10-$12 an hour...nobody need tell me I need to keep my day job :-)
There’s a few of my pieces on my homepage, about halfway down.
Quite an undertaking.
