Thanks so much for your lovely comment...Hi Sara :)<br /><br />Thanks so much for your lovely comment on my blog, I was blown away that you payed a visit :)<br /><br />I think pricing is a tough one - in the craft world for example, most cards people make sell for about £2 - £3 on ebay (although one Designer got £50 the other day for one card in a box!!).<br /><br />I spend a good 4 hours making each one of my cards. Everything from the cardstock, stamp, ink, papers, dies, pro-markers, gems, glues, flowers etc. I would suspect the true price of them to be around at least £20, but you wouldnt get that in reality.<br /><br />You have to factor in all costs, but at the same time, I would think that once the art is done, a lot depends on its popularity - if you sell 100 sheets of the same painting, then you would recover your costs quicker than if you only sold 10, and then the only real ongoing cost is the marketing and print materials x the time it takes to print.<br /><br />Do what you are comfortable with, but never sell yourself or your art too cheaply - you would probably be surprised at what people would be prepared to pay. And as long as you enjoy what you are doing, then its priceless ;)<br /><br />hugs<br /><br />xxalisonxxxxxtglxxxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10630516264560321945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30623949.post-61763867276808271312011-03-28T10:22:06.686-05:002011-03-28T10:22:06.686-05:00I think the artist can set the price however they ...I think the artist can set the price however they like. It is their art and they should be able set any pricing so they can make a living and have people enjoy their work. <br /><br />I do think it's hard to determine a pricing that will please everything so I don't think you should try. Just do what you think it's right. And there's my 2 cents.<br /><br />Have a sweet day.lissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11012085842881252635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30623949.post-24416913623119742022011-03-25T11:57:48.207-05:002011-03-25T11:57:48.207-05:00I think you ought to charge what YOU think you'...I think you ought to charge what YOU think you're worth. If you think your work is worth more than $10, then charge more. The people who want your work will buy it. If you think that $10 feels like an all-over good price, and you don't think you're being cheated out of profit... well, keep it at $10.<br /><br />In the end, I guess it's just up to you. I hope this helps!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
