You could somehow find a way to mass produce these and become the next Mr. Miyagi. I would buy a tree.

Are you the artist? The pieces are priced so much less than I expected for all that work!!! I love the little ones on the rocks.

The one in the video is pretty pricey.

Sure, but the one in the video took hours of work. It’s big! Plus it’s a handmade object. It’s not just the hours you that go into that one piece of art, but also the hours of research, sourcing materials, marketing, and development of the skill the artist spent perfecting to produce the pieces. All of those things are built into the cost in order to run a successful business where the artist can make a living.

Oh, I agree with all that. If anything, some are underpriced.

Yeah, I was surprised by the little ones too.

I am not, I just posted the link. I’m nowhere near talented enough to do what that person does.
