craftliness

A fawn, an elephant, and a humpback walk into my living room...


The elephant makes me think of a burglar. I think I might keep him.

Hopefully I'll do a water buffalo tomorrow -- painted.

Thanks!

This is actually my dilemma, because for craft/artmaking I feel like 10/hr is not much. And the things take a long long time. Longer than 2 hours, often. Especially the ones I design myself just from pictures of actual animals -- I'm not fast in that regard.

Sooo.... I like to just give things away as gifts, because I feel like in order to justify selling my time to strangers in this way I would have to ask tooooo much.

But, the more I do it the faster I get, so I'm gonna give it a shot.

Lots of love to you.
xoxo

a have a friend who paints awesome line drawing goofiness. she went crazy painting one summer and so we made her get a booth at a city summer fest because she had so damn many. her idea was to make the paintings sized so you could put them in your cargo pocket and walk off with your treasure. she charged like 30-40 bucks....because, hell its art, man. and she wanted people to appreciate it. if no one wanted to buy them (paying her for her cool brain, her time and her talent) then she would enjoy them herself....
moral of the story: if people want it, they should pay you for your time, your heart and your labor.

and you rock.
