There are blacksmith artists who sell for top dollar and make a living at it. I know a guy who lives north of Duluth minnesota that does it. He does not do the same thing twice.But he's found the right clinental for his art. Is art a one time creation? Maybe Wayne Coe can chim in on this. I can make simple beautiful metal flowers that I can barely get 50 bucks for. They are art, but like George, Im not an artist but a craftsmen that makes stuff. Im going to a vender show tommorro and bringing everything I've made. Multipule flowers, bottle openers and split crosses. Am I an artist?? The people that like my stuff say I have talent. All my stuff, even though it's just a flower, no one is like the other. They all have there own character. They are 1 of a kind but I have many of them. Maybe there are different levels of art.
