I made a big boo-boo when it was done. I was shaking a bottle of gold ink and some must've been ont he rim and splatted right on the finished picture. I said "oh no..." and then got to thinkin' how I could fix it. I took some paper towel and tried to get it off, but it just smudged, so I took the ink, watered it down and sarted smearing it all over the paper, making hte cool green background! Thank-you, Lord, for making my picture even better!Isn't that the way it goes, though. We mess stuff up and God turns our mess into beauty!

This lady is going to be so pleased...what a great job...and good job on the mess up. :)
These would be such great ideas for Christmas presents. How much do you think it would cost to do something like this-without a frame?
Thanks! Thanks to all of you!
I showed it to her today and she was extremely pleased. I charged $50 for this one without the frame or mat. She thought I was going to say over $100, so she was happy. Considering the time it takes to make it, $50 probably isn't enough, but I am satisfied with the price. I think it all depends on how elaborate the drawing is as to how much it costs. One like the one I did for Jessica, I would charge someone $30 for, I think. If there was only writing and no paint, I would charge $20, I think--depends on how long the writing is, too. The hardest part is that whatever I am asked to do, I have to have some freedom in the design, only because it comes out of my head, if you know what I mean. That makes me nervous that I will make the whole thing for someone and then have them say they don't like it. That concerns me. I suppose I get around that by showing the pencil drawing first, but even the penciled drawing looks so much different than the completed project. I suppose the best way is to see what someone wants and figure how long it'll take and charge a per hour fee. Sorry, my answer is so long-winded, Sharon!
I forgot to mention that the green background, changes from green to gold as it moves. The picture on here doesn't do the real thing justice. You gals think it's pretty online, you should see the real thing! I am amazed that God has given me such a gift!
This is so pretty!
Yeah,its true about how God canges our mistakes into something wonderful
