So, do you have some sort of written contract/agreement with the customers?

I have the pieces online and the copyright is on each page. The exchange is done by verbal agreement. I have not received commissions online except for one and that person eventually came to my home to discuss what he and his wife wanted. If I took a commission piece to do the business end of it strictly online, I would send an agreement for them to sign so that there was no question. My son-in-law is an attorney. He would write it up for me.

Most of my commissions come from people seeing my art in the shows or friends of friends or as example, my sign instructor. Some relatives but they get awfully good deals! LOL

So 4 lessons, recess and lunch I'm Going to work through (fun fun!)

Cal you're a man of my own heart, I used to go to other people's art lessons as well as lunch and break! I'll have to say I really miss it. Went into science for the job security and money and now I realise those don't exist in acedemic research yay! So don't let anyone tell you other jobs are better on those counts because truefully half the time they're not really.

Hi all,
I read everything here even when I am not logged in so do not think I have abandoned my lovely arty friends.

Cal,
My name in your signature makes me feel special!

Here's something new I am trying out....not that difficult to do but I think I could get more creative as I go along.It is just more of a presentation than things I made.All items were bought and I just put them together in a nicer way so someone will have less work when they need to give presents

It is a basket of aromatherapy-
A fruit face mask,an oil burner,a bottle of aroma oil,a candle ,an air freshner sachet,a clothes freshner sachet.
