Thank you, for this thread! It is always a point of frustration for me..(prices) I look around and I could make more at McD's with kids wages than people will pay for art that is so much work!! /took me lots of years to make my art work skill where it is.. When people watch me paint..make a pattern..etc. one question usually is "how long did that take you?" couple min on some things but a long time to learn how! I usually ask them what they do and how long did it take them to make or do what they do.cost of material-time to make it.interesting study!! love the QB!
