For those of you out there that actually make some money from this silly craft, I want to know how all these price increases have afftected your square foot pricing for commission work? Lead was about $45 a case for years, now triple or more. Solder was $2/lb for 20 years, now quadrupled. Let's not even talk about the glass itself! So if you were charging $100/sqft 10 years ago, what now? I've been getting as much as $250/sqft and am now wondering where the ceiling is? Even the Chinese lamps on the homeshopping nets have gone way up... still cheap but noticeably higher. Time to reaccess the new market again?
