Acrylic pour, new product, new risk.
Acrylic pour paintings and jewelry are the newest addition to my portfolio as I prep for this years fall/xmas craft shows. I consider this product as a huge risk as I need to have a good selection of pieces for a show but I have no idea if the market will bare what I think I must charge for them.
A single painting 10x10
$2-3 for canvass
4oz of paint and pouring medium at about $2/oz = $8
mounting/hanging hardware $2
MISC materials $3
disposable cups for pouring
craft sticks
silicon oil
varnish
nitrite gloves
cleaning materials
so at least $15 just to produce a painting before the added the cost of sales, ie renting booths at craft shows for up to $100 per day, advertising, travel, and of course my time which most customers totally discount.
Total selling $40 price for a 10x10, there are however sizes bigger and smaller which are prices to scale.
Don't know if it will fly but if I want to keep doing it this is what is required.
Anyways have a look at a sampling of my work
