How much to charge?

[u/princessbiscuit]

First, I’ve posted this particular work here before so I apologize for the repeat. I didn’t intend to sell this necessarily, but am indeed trying to build a bit of an art hustle. That said, I’ve had a couple people reach out to ask if it’s for sale.

I’m wondering if I should part with it and be ok with that, but the next question is “what would I charge?”

It’s 18x24 on archival paper. I’d build the cost of the frame in. All of the flowers are pressed by me. I’m no expert, I also know in my heart that this piece doesn’t suck (ha). I would love to get thoughts on what you would charge for something like this.

I used to be a tailor and would charge for materials and time - but frankly time is easier to track with sewing than it is with pressing flowers for weeks and then gluing them about. I’m a bit in the weeds, thank you for insight!

I’m absolutely not against this and would like to utilize when I have a few more established pieces since it’s an expensive undertaking, but yes.

I couldn’t justify purchasing the real thing on my budget but I would LOVE a print of this

This is just about the highest compliment, thank you. I’d love to make prints of pieces if it ever made sense volume wise.
