[quote=justflyinginTrue, but I can't think of any "handcraft" that actually pays $20/hour for something actually detailed. Counted cross stitch takes hours and hours and people sell them on ebay or yard sales for a pittance.

There are the woodworkers and hand carvers who get at least that much an hour, and for typical skilled labor in any area the bidding usually starts at 20 per hour.
I attended a home business seminar a few years ago and one of the points they brought home was how little people who are in the "home" businesses usually charge people for their labor. If we were going to hire someone to hand quilt a quilt for us we'd be willing to pay 20/hr for an heirloom quality piece.
