A workout!

First, I thank everyone for your kind words. You're all too kind.

I use an old trick I learned many years ago... young kids absolutely LOVE seeing a grown-up mess up. After I have the kid in place and the lighting set, I "pose" the bear somewhere near the camera, making certain that the second I turn away, it falls. The second or third time that bear hits the floor, the kid is laughing out loud. Works 99.9% of the time. The ONLY time it backfired on me was when a small girl was afraid I might blame her for it. Needless to say, I shifted gears right away.

Thanks again!

That's a FANTASTIC idea Pete!

Thanks, Doug.

So you're having good luck selling these? How do you procede? I wouldn't know how to price something like this.

Thanks!
Pete

I charge $50 for a 16X20 framed in a 16X20 frame, or an 11X14 in a 16X20 frame and matted.

The frames are just cheap walmart frames for $10. 16X20s cost me $20 and an 11X14 with a 16X20 matte costs me $15. (My brother has a matte cutter) so I am making $20 to $25 in addition to a $50 sitting fee. Have you seen my cat composite?
