Great thread and everone who has replied has come up with some really good points/advice. Everyday here we see the most beautiful artistry and the work and heart that goes into each creation and yet when it comes to selling, the shyness sets in. I think we have to stop being reticent about mentioning price/monetary value. For some of us, selling work is going to be necessary for survival, or at least the funding of materials to continue our passion.
Without "gender bashing", I find many women are very uncomfortable about discussing payment for work. Indeed, when I was working I noticed our male colleagues had no qualms about talking to the Directors about pay increases as soon as there was a sniff of the business profits looking brighter, the women on the other hand had to really screw up the courage to even gently broach the subject. So, remember you have value, your work has value and you are not just creating "bed covers' or sewing it is ART!
