I have really been struggling with this issue. Crafting for profit vs. creating for pleasure and artistic expression. I really want to create art, but that doesn't pay the property taxes...... Finding a product that can be produced efficiently and sold for a price which respects the value of your time is a frickin challenge, unless you are a jewelry maker. I love working with upcycled textiles and just have not hit on the right product and 'style' yet.
Thanks for being an ongoing inspiration though, love your posts.

I can totally appreciate your struggle. I prefer to work with textiles too, but my jewellery range provides a nice repeatable bread and butter range. I have tinkered around with hundreds of textile products too. Time is a big factor, so finding the simplest way to achieve the best result is hard. I like scarves, they are not as time intensive as bags and look great. Keep exploring @optimistic-crone.
