    Noel: metalworking for me makes about 10% - 15% of my income--that
    includes teaching sessions with a wide spread of ages, and just a
    couple of shows a year 

    our area (Kitchener-Waterloo, Ontario, Canada) seems to be flooded
    with people selling imported chains by the foot and glossy costume
    jewellery--an unfortunate stereotype (but a stereotype it is) and is
    why I have tended not to rely on shows to sell my work:  i've sold
    more pieces by simple word-of-mouth, and always carrying around a
    pocket full of cards 

    so, realistically, although there are a number of artists of various
    media that have conquered the hill of sustainability, there are many
    many more that have not.  my dream is eventually to be able to be a
    full-time artist....knowing full well as well that i'll never get
    there if i give up
