do you sell any of these things?

 

[Oddball]

I don't really make enough pieces to sell. My family is 'holding' a few of my pieces until I need them, though. So they say.

I wouldn't know how to even price them. If I go by regular labor rates alone, we're talking around $5k for the poly. Plus, I don't know if I have it in me to make another one. I'm, at the least, running short of fossil ivory pieces large enough to begin replicating my work. And, hate to admit it, my eyesight isn't what it used to be anymore.
