The success or failure of holistic community building is tied to the sustainability of local industry. Because wood carving's costs are high and competition intense, Chen Chun-hua and Chang Cheng-wen have turned from leather and ceramic carving to putting traditional totem designs on ceramic tableware and modern designs on leather objects. They've been making a good living at it.
另一方面，由於社區營造的成敗，繫於在地產業能否永續經營，而木雕成本貴、競爭大，又只能當作純裝飾品，於是在收入的考量下，陳春花和張珍玟轉而從事皮雕和製陶，她們把傳統圖騰繪在陶器上，又用極具現代感的手法雕塑皮件，收入相當不錯。
