Default I made this.



What would you consider its monetary value to be?
Im thinking of making more stuff, and maybe putting it in an art gallery.

That's pretty freaking awesome!

Monetary-wise, I have no idea.

I see things on the interwebz and tv once in a while and think "thats cool, I want to make one of those", and then, I do.

I've never done anything like this before, I just sat down last night with a pic of a covered bridge and started cutting. 1.5hrs later, that's what I ended up with. Did it for a wedding gift, wedding is Saturday.

That's cool.

I wouldn't pay money for it though.

I'd pay Tree-Fitty for it.




but seriously, I don't know. Art is a commodity that is hard to put a value to because the value is subjective. based off time commitment, I would say if you could sell them for $15 at an art fare, it might be a decent start and then go from there. Really I would establish a minimum Hourly rate you want to pay yourself and see if you can sell it for that price one you are complete. If it becomes established, then the value will obviously increase.

I've got time to think about what I want to do with it.

Sorta hit a snag... all the leaves are dead now, making it very difficult to cut and press without them crumbling.

Put that on the to-do list for next summer....
