I dont have my designs arranged by price because I do something
different every time, I also dont do a lot of festivals. I tell
folks that most work costs between $5 and $25 and then ask them how
much they want to spend. I explain that $15 for example would be an
average sized mandala on the palm. I take their money, THEN do the
work.

This just depends on how you like to work... I commit little suicides
every time someone asks me to do a design "just like hers." Because
it just doesnt happen. I dont put up prices because I feel like this
allows me to express my creativity. If I put the price of $10 next
to a popular mandala I would be doing that mandala all night long!
Of course I'm notorious for underpricing my work. C'est la vie!

: I have notebooks of pages of my designs in clear plastic sleeves
and
: they are divided by price. Out here it's popular for 'black henna'
: "artists" to have huge billboards of designs and not a price in
sight.
: I think it's important that things are clearly priced, its fair and
: business like. I do festival patterns in the range of $5-$20
