I’m almost done with the pieces for my show at Waverly House, but the hardest part is yet to come. Now I have to decide what to charge for all of my hard work. I realize I won’t get paid for every hour I spend on the piece, but I need to make the price fair both to me and the customer. Granulation is tough because most people don’t realize the extensive time it takes to make the piece. I make the granules, place them on the piece, fuse them to the surface (usually in several increments), put the piece together and finish the surface. Most pieces have 10-20 hours in them. I have decided to make the price expensive enough to make it special and affordable enough to not break the bank. So far it looks like earrings will be $125-150 and pendants will be $125-250. I might have one or two at $300 and my brooch is $500. I’ll just have to wait and see if any of them sell!

Pricing your own work is hard, but it looks like you’re doing it right! Just don’t undervalue your stuff. You’re a talented artist who deserves to be paid that way!
Amen Staci! People who really appreciate good art will be happy to pay your price, Tammy – and you deserve to be paid fairly for all your creativity and hard work. Good luck with the show.
