[QUOTE="Sandra, post: 223085, member: 3335"]I think your instincts are correct Mikey, that this is the value the artist has placed on the piece herself. Taking into account the cost of materials, a nominal hourly figure for her labor and the cost of a frame, the artist would be hard pressed to recoup her investment. The book reference is probably the source of the pattern she used. In my area, items like this sell at auction in the $5.00 range, usually to someone who just wants the frame or a cheap and cheerful piece to decorate a nursery.[/QUOTE]
