What's on my Workdesk Wednesday




This is what's on my desk this morning.
A mixed media piece
on a wall puttied canvas.
The flowers are of paper and fabric.
There is some sewing on it and on the stems.
Have not decided what to do with the veil.

I have been working overtime
as my brother and his friends
organized an Arts and Crafts Fair
and my sister and I are going to rent a table.

I finished my other canvas
and will be selling it at the Fair.
I'm rather conflicted about selling this
and have no idea how to price it!

What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday,
hosted by the very amiable Julia.

  10. Hey Patsy - so sorry I have been away and negligent in catching up - thank you for the beautiful ATC, I look at everyday and it makes me smile.

    re. the craft fair stall - work out how many hours it took when you set your price and pay yourself minimum wage - if your buyers Baulk at your prices it's up to you if you are willing to drop your prices, but you must at least cover the cost of yoru materiwals ( which you should be able to cost out),

    sometimes fairs are fun and you feel you have been rewarded for your labour and art, sometimes literally nothing sells... either way you meet loads of lovely people who happily talk art....
