You're right, with hand painting and art quilted she should be more than $500, but I imagine she's a bit afraid of pricing her out of the market. That's a problem with needing income quickly, you can't really shop around for that one person who is willing to pay what it is worth.

You are very talented!! Many quilt guilds would be happy to have you come and lecture and/or teach a workshop. You should look into that. They pay well, plus lodging and transportation. In CA they have a "Meet the Teachers" session at the Quilt Guilds Council, and all the guilds book their teachers for the coming year or two.
Sorry if this is OLD news....I don't always read every post before I put my own 2 cents in!!! :P

I think you have done an amazing job with this. Sorry to hear things are not going so well, but you have heart and talent...so with that in hand, you will be ok. I hope you sell your Geisha for top dollar....she is worth it. You may want to get in touch with some interior designers, especially the ones who do "upmarket" clients, they are always looking for unique art pieces. If you manage to network a bit, you might get some good commissions. Hang in there, one foot in front of another, all the best from the land of Aus.
