And I would still be interested in the original collage and would love to purchase one if I could afford it. It would be awesome to have an original piece of your art. <br /> <br />Congratulations for this awesome chance.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04514542015239046384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-690400023329277323.post-65275834835785710902010-11-03T15:39:01.151-04:002010-11-03T15:39:01.151-04:00Congratulations, Elizabeth.

I think you should do what makes sense for you and there are certainly customers out there who can only afford the repros. I am thinking about the swimmers for myself....<br /> <br />I think about Thomas Kinkaid and all of his limited editions and that there really was no value in what he was doing, other than trying to make $$.

It is the best of both world's to have both available.

You didn't ask this but again, if I knew the artist and could not afford the original, I would rather buy the print version directly from him/her. Otherwise, if I didn't know the artist well, I would just buy the Pier One version.Libby Fifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13532162740012986996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-690400023329277323.post-52959390865799561092010-11-03T00:49:53.044-04:002010-11-03T00:49:53.044-04:00I don't think the original art work would dete...I don't think the original art work would deter me from buying one of your prints.<br /><br />I would be a treat to buy a print if I couldn't have the original. <br /><br />Good luck and I hope all goes well.

I think the originals would mean more to the buyers knowing they 'have the original' and in turn wouldn't mind paying for it. I hope I helped.
