Worth it???

I made the world’s most expensive snail. I carved a patterned block of wood into a snail shell and then used epoxy resin to make the slug of the snail. I first made a clay sculpture of the slug, then molded it with silicone and poured in epoxy resin. This carving is one of my favorites to date. I also give a full price breakdown and include all my my costs and tell you how I price my artwork.
