One the most important aspects of selling your very own creations is the knowledge of how to price your artwork. One day, I saw a book about this very same subject in the Book Store, but I was trying to stay focused on books targeted towards my project for that particular week and not get sidetracked.
That was a mistake to say the least, as I could never find that book again!! All I had was a visual memory of it's cover and I guess you could say, that I should have purchased it then, because every time, I tried to locate that particular book again, I could not find it!
In the meantime, I did some bare bones research on the web to try find articles and other resources to find this important information and I wanted to share the information with you, so you won't have to search as hard as I did!
