what to charge

Charging for what I do is always hard to figure out, or at least for me. The talented and sassy Jessica Heshe says it all better than I ever could. Read about it here http://www.jessicahische.is/obsessedwiththeinternet/

And while I have always had a hard time with pricing I have always understood what to do when asked to do spec work. I am ALWAYS insulted and refuse the work. Plz, plz, plz do not do spec work. It hurts us all in all ways. The client gets to ask many people to do free work and then they get to choose whichever artist they want. The rest do not get paid for their work. It completely under values all of our work.

If I had the wall space I would buy Jessica's Should I Work for Free poster. http://shouldiworkforfree.com/

Outside the Line

I'm Rae. I make fonts and blog. I reside in a city on a lake but spend most of the time living in my head.

New fabric on Spoonflower!

I have 61 fabrics and 40 wallpaper designs on Spoonflower.com. They are a print-on-demand site. That means you can buy a yard or 10 in whatever fabric you want. Cool, huh?

If you are not a sewist you can also order many different things using this fabric. I like to switch things up seasonally and this is an easy way to do it.
