HELP! PLEASE!!

Post by LINDASLITTLEBLESSINGS »

I girl asked me to do a "portrait" sculpt of her best friends baby who recently passed away. She only wants it to be around 6" long. Problem is I have no idea what to charge for it! I will make the head and limbs from clay and it will have a doe suede body. Any ideas where to start with a price?

Gee I do not know hun!
I charge anywhere from $350 to $550 for custom reborns and I would think that for an OOAK Clay sculpt you would have to charge more again surely!!!!

I think $150 would be reasonable.

I think that I will go ahead and sculpt it, then give them a price, that way I can see how good it turns out first! The baby was a month or so old and the mother took a nap with it. While sleeping the baby rolled and became lodged between the wall and some pillows on the bed and suffocated! She was such a beautiful baby!

Stocks'?? Jennifer I think is her first name? Well, not positive on the first name, but I am on the screen name. She has a website with stuff she's done, you may want to talk to her, she's a very nice lady.

Linda, I do Memory Babies also. I charge the moms $350.00. I just don't have it in my heart to charge them more than that. I have done about 5 or 6 babies now. So, I think just about around that price is good.

Hugz,
Lorna
