Everything you say makes sense, and I think you would do great. Today, there is an audience for everything. I'm sure there are people who will love your art. You also explain your ideas very well, which is a great virtue. The ability to share your story and background so eloquently is also a great asset! It's lovely!
I've had an alternative fashion store project on pause for two years. Life got so complicated that I couldn't sit down and create, even though I had a good audience and people who were attentive to the project. You're right; creating isn't enough. I know nothing about numbers, but I've had to learn how to price my creations and transform my project into a real business instead of an expensive hobby.
Fortunately, there are many kind and intelligent people on the internet who share their wisdom for free. I'm learning how to correctly calculate production costs. For example, I was surprised by a formula that divides the cost of machines by their useful lifetime divided by the number of units produced per month. It's interesting.
I send you my best wishes and hope your dream comes true because it's an idea worth the effort 🙏 💗
