Railroad Spike Butterflies
I'm making about a dozen of these for this weekends art show in town. They should fetch around $75 each

Re: Railroad Spike Butterflies
i'll send some items up that way and if you sell them take a 25% commission and send me the rest!! lol. I know your cost of living up there is higher than mine. Good luck and I hope you sell every single one of them!

Re: Railroad Spike Butterflies
Good luck! It's funny when people freak out about prices. We had a big rodeo this summer and some of my prices were high. But to someone from California or New York they were cheap! Plus they bought something made in Wyoming. I also get told by local artists I'm too low on price. Sometimes, yes. Sometimes no, usually I go but the pricing excel sheet that was shared here, other times, if it feels right, that's the price I use. I made some trophies earlier this year, and I was in the mid range for price, but I got another request for more. So, I don't worry about others prices. Sometimes you never know, just go with what feels good for you and will put cash in your pockets.

Re: Railroad Spike Butterflies
Good idea, I have a box of old spikes I collected while walking my dogs over the years along a railroad track. I have been tossing around ideas. This may be one of them.

Re: Railroad Spike Butterflies
Real nice idea! Sometimes we forget our metal pieces will pretty much last a lifetime, so price accordingly.
