    I'm going to throw my 2 cents in on this thread. It has always been
    my belief that, with the exception of a few extremely well known
    jewelry artists, it is necessary to do both production and one offs.
    The production work pays the bills and helps to pay for you to
    develop one offs that take longer to sell. The reality is that time
    intensive, more unique pieces are much harder and take longer to
    sell. Given this, it is necessary to have something to keep the money
    flowing. I don't think it diminishes anyone's artistic sensibilities
    to have a line of something that pulls in enough money to do the fun
    stuff. Most painters do lithographs or other repeatable pieces as
    well.
