Selling a part of myself

There are things that you can part with easily. And there are jewels that are difficult to give up to the buyer.

Like these earrings. They are made of iridized and dichroic glass. I wore them a few times, and they became my favorite earrings. But they were shown with the sales items – it's logical to show the best works. A regular client has come and chosen them. I made a sale, but I don’t feel real pleasure. In fact, I cannot simply turn out another one. Glass is unpredictable, much more than many other materials.
I completely understand artists who do not want to sell their pictures.  More designers jewelry

"Why Art? or, Solving the Big Head Problem"

Art performs many tasks in society. Perhaps the most important is to enable people to see things that were formerly invisible, or which were brought into existence by the artist. Artists push at the envelope of social understanding, and those in the vanguard are often rewarded with scorn and calumny. The second wave of artists, treading where the visionaries have paved the way, are more able to be understood, and do a little better. At last, the idea becomes common currency and society as a whole lurches forward.
